Notes - Very rare player shirt believed to have been worn by Roberts for the Premier League match against Fulham, played at Craven Cottage on 25th November 2007. After a scoreless first half it was the hosts who took the lead through Danny Murphy's spot kick. Rovers weren't behind for long though as star striker Brett Emerton found an equaliser just 6 minutes later. Diomansy Kamara would restore Fulham's lead but Mark Hughes' side again fought back to claim a point thanks to Stephen Warnock's goal, final score 2-2. Roberts started on the bench but was called upon earlier than expected ans replaced the injured Benny McCarthy after just 8 minutes and assisted the Warnock goal. The former West Brom Man was in his second season at Ewood Park having joined from fellow Lancashire outfit Wigan. He made 31 appearances this season notably bagging goals against Bolton, Derby and former side Wigan to help Blackburn to a 7th placed Premier League finish. He stayed on for another 4 seasons with Rovers before joining Reading in 2012.
