Who's Who by Shirt Number - No. 8


Next up ...

SHIRT NO. 8

No prizes for guessing who wore this shirt!

... WILLIAM 'BLACKIE' GRAY was the regular wearer of the Number 8 shirt, playing first at inside-right and later in midfield ...

During the 1955/56 season Blackie was kept out of the side by Rovers' then record signing ARTY HEDLOW, who signed from Elbury Wanderers but was forced to retire through injury at the end of that season ...

I think there were a few players who probably wore the Number 8 shirt for a few games, but Blackie was a regular in the first team until about 1989/90 ...

Trivia: Blackie's playing form kept his own son, MARK 'CRACKER' GRAY, out of the 1990 FA Cup final (though he wore the Number 4 shirt for this game).


Anyone know who took over the Number 8 shirt from Blackie?
