Who's Who by Shirt Number - No. 7


Next up ...

SHIRT NO. 7

When Roy Race first broke into the first team in 1955 the Number 7 shirt was worn by CHARLIE KING, who was Rovers' regular outside-right for the 1955/56 season ...

At the start of the 1956/57 season Charlie was replaced by French winger PIERRE DUPONT, who signed from Rochemonte Rapides and played as part of the 1958 Division One Championship team ...

... my info is a bit sketchy here, but sometime during the early '60s the Number 7 shirt taken over by TONY STORME, who won domestic and European honours (and later went on to manage the Rovers) ...

At the start of the 1967/68 season Tony was replaced by new signing TERRY WEST, who played on the right wing for several successful seasons ...

When Terry transferred to Eastoke United early in the 1972/73 season his place was taken by MERVYN WALLACE, who signed from Cranville and became a mainstay of the side for many years (playing initially on the right wing and later in midfield) ...

In 1979 Mervyn's right wing position and the Number 7 shirt was taken by PACO DIAZ, who signed from Real Zaragosa and played for four seasons before returning to Spain in 1983 ...

... again, my info is a bit patchy from this point. I think some of the players who may have regularly worn the Number 7 shirt include ROB RICHARDS, JIMMY SLADE (?), CARL HUNT (?), BRUCE 'PANCHO' MILLER (?) and KEVIN CLARK ...

Does anyone know of any other players who regularly wore the Number 7 shirt and in what seasons?
