Former Manchester United man looks back on his "special time" at Doncaster Rovers

A former DRFC man has been looking back down memory lane

Former Doncaster Rovers player Quinton Fortune has been looking back on his brief spell in South Yorkshire.

The midfielder is best known for his seven-year stint at Manchester United but he ended his career at Rovers during the 2009-10 campaign in DN4 after impressing on trial. His time in Doncaster was fleeting, with just seven appearances that included one goal and a red card.

But he looks back on his time there fondly - particularly his final outing as a Rovers player.

"Doncaster are a special club, they made me skipper on my last game," Fortune, speaking in association with Premier Bet, said.

"I went to Doncaster Rovers at the end of my career and it was a special time at a special club. They made me captain in my last ever game. The last time I was captain must have been the under-10s back in South Africa!

"I played with some great players like James Coppinger and it was a good club full of good people. I would love to see Donny get promoted this season and I’m wishing everyone well because I had some great experiences there and a great time."
