SecretSam Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Riley used to like wearing number 6 shirt (kids: back in them days, there were no squad numbers, so the players on the pitch wore 1-11, and the sub (singular) number 12). Anyway, anyone know why he chose such an unusual number for a striker? And does he still have big hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I strongly object to the title of this thread. I watched Glyn Riley during the 80’s (and Atyeo in the 60s) but I don’t classify myself as “older”. This term only applies to someone at least 25 older than you. In my case that’s someone who is approx 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 1982-83 Glynn Riley was signed from Barnsley on a free transfer and was top scorer that season with 16 goals. 1986-87 Glynn scored our equaliser at Wembley (Freight Rover Trophy Final) that led to those penalties v Mansfield.

Slack Bladder Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Riley used to like wearing number 6 shirt (kids: back in them days, there were no squad numbers, so the players on the pitch wore 1-11, and the sub (singular) number 12). Anyway, anyone know why he chose such an unusual number for a striker? And does he still have big hair? Although I have no idea why he wore No.6 ( lucky number i suppose) this does remind of the days when you could a players position by their number. 1 Goal Keeper 2 Right Back 3 Left Back 5/6 Centre Backs 4/8 Centre Midfield 7 Right Wing 9/10 Strikers 11 Left Wing 12 Sub.

arpaul Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hat trick v Wimbledon was highlight for me. A highlight for me? Remember him jumping up on the East End railings after scoring one of his goals. Always got the supporters going. Wouldn't mind him and Steve Neville up front together now. Their work rate would put our current squad to shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Scorer in 83-84 as well , 18 goals Second in 84-85 with 21 , 1 behind Alan Walsh Scored twice in the Freight Rover Final v Bolton in 85-86 Top player IMO , but I might be a bit biased !

Though I'm sure someone will correct me, but you get the jist. It goes back further than that! 1- Keeper 2- Right Back 3 - Left Back 4 - Right Half 5 - Centre Half 6 - Left Half 7 - Outside Right (or Right Wing) 8 - Inside Right 9 - Centre Forward 10 - Inside Left 11 - Outside Left (or Left Wing) ...and they used to line up like this... 1 2 3 (full backs) 4 5 6 (half backs or midfield) 7 8 9 10 11 (forwards) Those were the days - 5 forwards!! - though the inside forwards operated mainly in midfield, and the centre half was the main central defender.

Remember that Glos Cup match at Eastville? 0-0 at HT, but the full time score was Rovers 0 - City 5 with all 5 forwards scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a 4-3-3 it was as follows - 1 2. 5. 6. 3 4. 10. 8 7. 9. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
