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.

ROGUES CONCEPT UNIFORM, 1978

This uniform, as far as I know, was only worn twice. Once by Hugh O'Neill in a local ad for a McDonald's Restaurant ticket promotion and again in a print ad showing the worldwide popularity of soccer. Both appearances were early in 1978, before the start of the season. The print ad was posted previously. The "player" in the print ad was not an actual Rogues player. I am trying to find a copy of the McDonald's ad but have had no luck.
Thanks logoshak.com for the image.

ROGUES vs STING, 1980

Charlie Cooke (8) is held back by the referee and Chicago's Dick Advocaat during a hostile match played June 3, 1980.  From what I remember Cooke was upset at an obvious foul by the Sting that was not called.  Charlie was heading for the guilty party (Jorgen Kristensen) when he was intercepted.  All turned out well, the Rogues got the win 3-2 in front of 10,321 at the Liberty Bowl.  The Rogues and Sting had a history of bad blood.  At one point the league even assigned a special English referee specifically for one of their matches.  It didn't help.  Memphis fans hated the Sting and threw beer, insults, and a variety of concessions at Sting players whenever the opportunity arose.
