The timespan between Jay Rodriguez's first and latest goal for us.

Which got me thinking... has there been any other player with such a timespan between their first and last/latest goal for us?

Ohhh good question.

Haven't the foggiest but Leighton James played along time between spells at the start and end of his career.

Jimmy McIlroy did it in 13 consecutive seasons.

Rodders has been about a bit since his first.

Don't know about that question but I heard on commentary today that he's either one behind or level as our top scorer this century.

Leighton James and Dobson I think.

Yes got to be Taffy.

Probably around 18/19 years between first and last.

First goal v. Fulham - 11 September 1971
Last goal v. Hartlepool - 6 May 1989

17 years and 8 months!

Got to be the best shout.

Thought this was going to be how long since Rovers beat Burnley, but that’s only just a shade over 13 years.

Level with Sir Robert Blake
