    My earliest memories was stood in the Pop Stand of Belle Vue watching the Rovers play Manchester City - it took me a few years to carry on going back but then moving from Belle Vue to the Keepmoat was the first stint of me being a season ticket holder and never looked back!

    My roots to the Black Bank trace back to being one of the founding 6 members! From liaising with the club and sorting all the fundraising for the first Tifo to even having a pint with Mr Baldwin himself in the Hyde Park Club to discuss future plans.

    Away from all the hustle and bustle of football I'm a father who has now started bringing my lad with me to football so can take him under my wing!

    My earliest Rovers memory is being stood in the Town end in 2005. Rovers were playing Aston Villa and I watched in amazement as my little hometown League side defeated one of the Premiership heavyweights 3-0. From there I was hooked.

    My roots within Black Bank trace back to its formative years, from volunteering with bucket collections outside the ground, to helping set up to Stoke Tifo and the Exeter display. In 2019, I became the lead volunteer and crowd funded, ordered and co-produced the Tifo against Crystal Palace - Although stapling over 3000 pieces of card was tedious, it was worth it to see the result. From there, I then focused on replacing broken flags etc as much as I could before taking a step back to focus on family life. In 2025, I helped to revive Black Bank and focus more of the behind-the-scenes work.

    Away from DRFC, I am a father of 4 so I don’t get to as many match days as I would like to now. I also volunteer as a facilitator for Men’s Mental Health Charity Andy’s Man Club on top of an extremely demanding role as an IT Engineer.

    My earliest memory of Rovers was Dave Penney's last game in charge before Sean O’Driscoll became manager. Ironically Mr O’Driscoll was in the away dug out! I bleed red and white and the Gresham family have been going to watch Rovers since the 1890s!.

    I’ve only been with the Black Bank 6 months but I have thoroughly enjoyed been apart of such a brilliant culture of fans. I’m living the dream because we DARE TO DREAM.

    Away from football I work extremely hard as drayman, dropping beer, wine, spirits across pubs and bars all over Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire!
