TOM NEVERS, 1979

Tom Nevers (C) is challenged by Tony Field (R) as Jorge Berrio looks on in this rare photo from a Rogues practice session.  This photo was Taken at Tim McCarver Stadium which was the home of the AA Memphis Chicks baseball team.  The Chicks moved to Jackson, Tennessee many years ago and the stadium was later torn down.  The Rogues used Tim McCarver Stadium, The Liberty Bowl, and Overton Park as practice locations.  The Mid-South Coliseum was used for indoor season practice. There may have been other locations so if anyone has information, please let me know.

The "Rogues' Gallery" was the official booster club of the Memphis Rogues.  This photo appeared in one of their 1980 publications and shows (left to right) Danny Vaughn, Paul Child, and Tony Field at one of the Gallery's get togethers.  I love Tony Field's sweatshirt.

TONY BURNS, 1978

Tony Burns was on loan to the Rogues from Crystal Palace FC for the 1978 season. He was the # 1 keeper. He suffered a leg break early in the season forcing rookie John Houska to take over. He returned later and got a couple of starts. After the 1978 season he returned to Crystal Palace. He is currently the goalkeeping coach at Milwall FC in England.

MORE ROGUES FAN MEMORIES!

Rogues fan Bill sent me these great photos from the Rogues fan day on August 2, 1978, just prior to the home game against the California Surf.  Bill was seven years old (he's the one in the tank top) and attended the game with his brother, sister, and father.  The players pictured are:  Henry "Mad Dog" McCully (12), John Houska (20), Neil "Beep, Beep" Smillie (4), Tony Field (10), and Bobby "B.T. Express" Thomson (2).  Bill, thanks very much for sharing these great photos!  It is really appreciated!  If anyone else has any Rogues related photos, please e-mail them to me at gorogues@gmail.com.
