Saturday 26th March 1988, Barclays Second Division Plymouth hosted Blackburn Rovers, who now had Osvaldo Ardiles playing alongside former Tottenham team-mate Steve Archibald. Rovers feeling bouyant before the game started were soon brought back down to earth suffering a 3 0 defeat to the hosts Plymouth, Evans, Burrows and Hodges being on the score sheet. Rovers took a large following to the south coast and were made to wait in excess of nearly an hour before being let out of the ground , going via the opposite side of the ground that they were housed in.
