Rod Fern

Saddening indeed so very sorry to hear this. Some good tribute ideas 😔

Sad to hear the news. He was central to what was possibly the happiest times for while I have been watching the Millers 1967 onward. I knew he was suffering from Alzheimer/ dementia, so not completely a surprised. So many memories, especially from 81. He looked much older than he actually was; Didn't cover every blade of grass, but had a bit of class and quality about him. I'm sure he would he would have been a top division player,. had he not had long term injuries when he was younger.

He was a top division player, with both Leicester and Luton

Another sad loss , Respect and much admiration from me, A rival player who was a pleasure to have seen ,
RIP Mr Rodney Fearn , a proper footballer ,

I know he was in the cup final with Leicester (In the first division). I think he would have played, at an higher level, all his career, if not for injury

R.I.P.Rod, class act up to end always be a Miller.

The greatest opposition accolade you can receive from fans of BFC is to have a song made up about you .

We don't make songs up about poor opposition players , there wasn't one player from Wendy who warranted it at the time .

The Millers on the other hand had two , the famous Ronnie Moore number and Rodney Fern .

All together now one last time .

" weve got more hair than you "

" Rodney Fern .....Rodney Fern "'

Terrible news. One of my all time favourites was Rod. A class player and a class bloke. He'd often score the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win, mostly away I think.

RIP Rod.

I remember taking my cousin who is a Leeds fan to a fairly dour game which had nil - nil written all over.

My cousin spent a great part of the 2nd half questioning what Rod was doing on the pitch and what he actually brought to the team.

Then all of a sudden bam the one moment of class as he headed the ball into the net at the Tivoli End and settled the game 1 - 0 to the Millers.

I just grinned at my cousin and said that's why Rod's in the team cos he's always likely to do that.

Thanks for the memories Rod and R.I.P.

what about a minutes applause for him sat . rip rod

Great idea, hope its done..super super player..it was a great all round team but he was a bit special in the way he made the ball do the work.. i doubt we'll ever get a player like that again..i was inspired every time he played i remember emlyn hughes saying that he couldnt believe how good rod was...one chance 1 - 0..
R.I.P ROD..
