Revitalised Rose blossoms in new U's role (From Essex County Standard)

• "Brian did it the other way round however - began as a winger and moved to full back.
  
  With Brian on the pitch you could have played with 9 men as he could easily cover left back, left side midfield and left wing.
  
  He once passed the ball forward ( to himself! ) from inside his own half, ran 50 yards picking up his pass, homed in on the Layer Road goal and scored.
  
  All this somehow brings me to Jimmy Oliver.
  
  Jimmy had the ability to flick the ball outside his full back ( from the right wing ), allow the ball to almost go out of play, then somehow whip in fast crosses that were very difficult for defenders to deal with. This was a great technique and I cannot recall seeing anything quite like it since.
  
  By all accounts Michael Rose was most impressive at Bournmouth.
  
  And back to Brian Hall - is he the only full back to score a hat trick for Colchester United?"
