I was at that game, I remember it being one of great dissapointment, but the goal was an absolute belter.
I have to disagree about the lack of love for Tony Elliott mind, I thought he was a great goalkeeper, who was unlucky to be replaced by “former premier league keeper” John Hallworth, who despite being one of the best one-on-one savers, couldn’t kick, catch and caused panic in the defense at every cross or corner.
Looking back at the team sheet made me smile. I remember when Lee Jarman was always linked with Premiership teams, despite the fact he often didn’t look like he could handle the 3rd division!
If my memory serves me correctly, was this the game that Gareth Stoker (possibly the hardest man to ever play football) was on the receiving end of a shin pad breaking tackle, which he quickly got up, threw the pad away and nailed the culprit?
Afternoon Jon. I agree with you about Hallworth, but we’ll have to agree to disagree about Elliott who, for me, was just a journeyman lower division keeper.
Lee Jarman was going to be the best thing since sliced bread wasn’t he. He had a fair bit of talent and shared James Collins’ ability to ping long passes out from the back (I reckon he was better at it than Collins actually), but he’s admitted himself that his self discipline wasn’t the best.
I remember that incident with Stoker, but I’m couldn’t say whether it happened in the Doncaster match or not – let’s be honest, it could have happened in any game he played in couldn’t it!

The top picture serves to remind us that the mauve and yellow abomination was not our only mysterious kit.
How many clubs fell under the spell of the designers who advocated the bird-crap design, I wonder?
I remember the goal well but I think the best shot (of a wonder strike variety) I can recall was by another Darren against Wrexham in a 5-0 win in 1994.
Whatever happened to Darren Adams anyway?
Hello Mike, I’d forgotten all about that kit until I dug that photo out, bloody awful isn’t it.
As for the bird cack kits, the one I remember most was Peterborough’s change strip which was red with multi coloured blotches all over it – it looked like someone had puked up on it.
Afternoon Gareth, that goal by Adams was a beauty which came in a match I really enjoyed and, for a short while at least, he looked a bit of a prospect didn’t he.
I googled his name and it did bring up a thing about an ex City footballer, but I’m sure I can remember reading some years ago that he was playing local league football in Kent.
