Peter Roney was a goalkeeper who played for Rovers in the years preceding the First World War, joining in 1909 from Norwich City and staying until league football was suspended due to the conflict. He was the first, and so far only, goalkeeper to score for The Gas in a league match. Roney was never the same again after the conflict, and he died aged just 43 on 25 August 1930 in Clydebank.
