There are a few more who played for both up to the end of World War 2. But considering we have both been in existence as BCFC and BRFC for well over 100 years, there are not that many that wore red and/or blue. Yet so long as they performed to the best of their ability, both sets of supporters have usually welcomed "cross dressers" It's those who were crap for both teams that we did not take to.
When we signed Brian Williams it was a shock to a number of us, in a 'new generation' of supporters we hadn't had anyone come over from the blue side, rovers fans were surprised he wasn't getting a new contract, and the form he showed for us proved rovers had made a mistake as he wasn't a bad player and we did warm to 'bungo'!
