Ian 'Jock' Alexander spent eight years with Rovers, playing 291 times in the league (seven of which were from the bench) and scoring six times. He signed in the summer of 1986 after a spell playing in Cyprus with Pezoporikos Larnaca and initially played as a winger, but after a year with the club he was converted to a full back. He retired from the professional game in 1994 at the age of 31 and took over as manager of Yate Town later that year.
