The gap is getting bigger every day.
They remind me of the bloke you used to see down the pub. You didn't like him much, he was loud and annoying, but he was always there.
Years later your own life and business is successful and you've married a supermodel only to find out his own wife has left him, he's moved into a bedsit and he's a blithering hollowed out wreck of a being.
That's Rovers since I was a kid.
