  • Rovers: Portrait of a Football Team is a book that was published in 1990 featuring caricatures of a number of the 1989–90 Division Three championship winning side. All pictures in the book were drawn by local Bristol artist Gary Frank and the text was written by then-Rovers player Geoff Twentyman, later to become the sports editor of BBC Radio Bristol. Each page features a large drawing of a member of the Bristol Rovers squad with a caption giving their name and some facts about them, such as nicknames, what car they drive or their favourite make of boots. In the foreword to the book Twentyman says of Frank "I am sure he is heading towards fame and fortune". He was absolutely correct, as Frank later went on to work for both Marvel and DC comics, providing artwork for The Incredible Hulk, Supergirl and many, many others. The book is 24 pages long and features the following players: 1. * Gerry Francis (manager) 2. * Geoff Twentyman 3. * Devon White 4. * Christian McClean 5. * Carl Saunders 6. * Phil Purnell 7. * David Mehew 8. * Ian Alexander 9. * Peter Cawley 10. * Ian Hazell 11. * Ian Holloway 12. * Brian Parkin 13. * Andy Reece 14. * Vaughan Jones 15. * Paul Nixon 16. * Ian Willmott 17. * Tony Sealy 18. * Billy Clark 19. * Steve Yates
