Plenty of eyes were on Bristol Rovers at Hillsborough on Wednesday as Joey Barton's side turned in an impressive performance in front of the Sky Sports cameras to draw 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday, but three familiar faces chose to pay a visit in the flesh.
Promotion hero Connor Taylor took up a spot in the away end, Nick Anderton visited his teammates on crutches in the dressing room after his cancer operation and England international and Everton star James Tarkowski was also in attendance as Josh Coburn's fine finish cancelled out Michael Smith's header and earned Rovers a point.
Tarkowski was part of Burnley's Championship-winning side of 2015/16 with Barton, and the pair have remained pals since. At full time, the Toffees centre-half, who many pundits have backed for a place in England's World Cup squad next month, was seen pitchside deep in conversation with the Rovers manager, as well as head of performance Tom Short.
