  JIM Paterson says he'd love to be part of a Bristol Rovers side pushing for promotion next season. The versatile defender, signed on a short-term contract until the end of the season, netted his first goal for more than four years in last weekend's 7-1 thumping of Burton Albion. And he believes that huge win will serve as a massive confidence-booster as Mark McGhee's men bid to end their campaign with a flourish. Rovers head for...

  I WAS deeply saddened to hear of the recent death of Shaun Maby, a well-known local footballer. I was at Mangotsfield United with Shaun in the mid -90s and appreciated then what a great bloke and talented footballer he was.

Although he was strong and tough, he was a fair tackler, and I would describe him as being one of those players who...

  There's growing support today for Kingswood-born Ian Holloway to take over as England manager. Holloway, who was born in Kingswood, grew up in Cadbury Heath and still has close family ties with the area, is currently manager at Blackpool. Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, who was this week cleared of tax evasion charges, is the firm favourite to replace Fabio Capello, who resigned as England chairman yesterday after talks with...

  Bristol Rovers youngster Eliot Richards is hoping to play a role for Bristol Rovers at Southend this afternoon. With Scott McGleish expected to be sidelined for several weeks with an ankle injury, young striker Richards is looking to build on his appearance from the bench in last weekend's 2-0 home defeat by Barnet. "I've not been starting recently, so I have to prove I can get back in the team. I'm raring to go," said...
