Sorry Bruce I forgot about Singe

Curious to find out from Marshland when Dean Sampson played for the Dons and which team or teams he played against.

Did you know that the Dons directors told Rodger Millward that he wasn't big enough to become a professional rugby player

Nice one Geoff, what is it with Doncaster Directors I recall the Rovers doing something similair with a certain Mr Keegan.

Wasn't Dave Sampson the father of Dean?

Yes he is

Marshland refers to him as Deano so you would think he means Dean Sampson, I will be interested to read what Mashland posts for the year Dean played for the Dons & the teams he played against
