No he isn't our new boss, but an interesting interview from a Bristol Rovers fan.

I bloody love Virgs.
For me, he perfectly encapsulated the roll-your-sleeves-up attitude that we needed to survive during the Withdean era. I really hope he gets sorted with a new club soon.
That spell he had up front where he had a decent scoring record and scored some beauties, despite being a cumbersome centre half with limited ability, was the stuff of legend.
Hello,
As my username might suggest, I'm the guy who wrote the interview. Thank you for your kind words; as a Bristol Rovers fan I've always felt an affinity with any other clubs who didn't have much cash so always liked Brighton, and was very happy when we signed Adam.
I've done a few interviews with other Rovers players (although I think Adam is the only one with any connection to the Seagulls) so I was pleased when he said he'd do it, but to be honest I never realised half of what he's been through in life. What an amazing person and my respect for him went through the roof.
Someone on Twitter told me that they'd put it on this forum hence why I joined to say thank you - I've shown Adam the comments and he's overwhelmed by your messages of support. Bizarrely the interview formed the basis of a two-page spread in Scottish daily the Daily Record today! Slow news day in Scotland...
All the best to you for the coming season; I'm hoping its sooner rather than later that we get to play you so that I can see your amazing stadium.
Best wishes
Mark
P.s. How's Will Hoskins doing??
I would add my backing for Adam to become some form of club ambassador one day if he wanted I couldn't think of a better person or roll model. Hero.
