'Come and see Aussie Rovers' as club reaches out to singer Louis Tomlinson
The pop sensation is touring Down Under later this year
City pop sensation and Doncaster Rovers fan Louis Tomlinson is being urged to visit the club’s Australian name sake, when he goes Down Under on his world tour - with bosses creating a replica shirt in his honour.
The singer is heading to Australia in October and Melbourne-based Doncaster Rovers SC want the singer to pop by while he is in the area.
Launching an appeal vias social media, a club spokesperson said: “Louis Tomlinson has a well-known connection to Doncaster Rovers in the UK — so when we heard he was heading to Australia, we thought it was only right that his Aussie Rovers said hello.
“We might be on opposite sides of the world, but we share more than a name.
“We share a love of football and a proud connection to Doncaster.
“So, Louis, the teams at Doncaster Rovers Australia have a message for you - come see your Aussie Rovers, Louis!
“We’ve even got your shirt ready. Now we just need to make sure he sees this.”
Lifelong Rovers supporter Louis has played for the English Doncaster Rovers and was even part of a failed attempt to take over the club.
Although touring commitments have made it difficult for him to attend games in recent years, he keeps in touch with the club from around the globe and has even been involved in designing kits for the club.
