    I'm writing a short piece about Bristol Rovers' 2-0 victory over Preston North End on January 12th 1952. Rovers were 6th in Division Three North, Preston were 5th in the First Division and included the likes of Tommy Docherty and Charlie Wayman in their line up. 30,681 fans crammed into Eastville to see Vic Lambden give the Pirates the lead before Geoff Bradford wrapped up a memorable cup shock.

    We're you there? Do you have an anecdote or memories of the day or the game to share? Do you have an old press cutting of the match report tucked away in a scrap book? Please reply and help me put the story of a great day in Bristol Rover's history online to be remembered.
