Used to sit with Roger towards the back of Block 14. He was only little, but as tough as nails and would take on blokes twice his size. That is probably why he lived so long after he was given a very negative prognosis several years ago. A great character who was still getting to away games last season. You will be missed mate. RIP
It was a lovely touch to remember Roger in the 77th minute.
Arguably one of the more colourful characters in Argyle's history & now forever remembered in that superb pic being lifted above the crowd.
I've heard lots of stories from my dad of various away days on the Mount Gould coaches in the '70s, on which Roger was always a big part! As mentioned, despite his diminutive size, he was absolutely fearless!!
I believe it was Fellows Park where Roger casually strolled through the home end in his Argyle scarf, from one end to the other as a sea of home supporters got out of his way! :lol:
No doubt there are countless stories & memories from the decades of away games that Roger attended!
RIP Pilgrim.
