| abstract | - Dwayne Plummer is a forward, who joined Rovers from Chesham United in September 2000, going on to make 35 League appearances and scoring just once before leaving the club in September 2002. He also played four times in the FA Cup, twice in the League Cup and three times in the Football League Trophy, all without scoring. He proved to be something of a controversial character, not least at the end of his time with The Pirates, when he was fired in September 2002 for gross misconduct following an incident at a gym. He initially contested his dismissal, but the two sides finally agreed upon a termination of his contract in December that year. He also fell foul of a FIFA ruling on his brief international career, which saw him play one game for the Cayman Islands against American club side D.C. United, a game that finished at 5–0 to the Americans. The Cayman Islands FA had believed that their status as a British overseas territory meant that any UK passport holder would be eligible to play for them, and they invited a number of British players over, including Plummer and former Gas man Barry Hayles, for a pair of World Cup qualifiers against Cuba. After their one warm-up game however FIFA stepped in and ruled that Plummer and the others were not eligible to play for the Caribbean nation.
