Howard Canitbé Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It WAS the City Hospital, but about 5 years ago, they built a new hospital on the grounds and called it the Royal Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yes I went with the Russell Street and Cotton Lane kids to St Dunstan's Infants School. That was a rough area when I was a kid. We were considered posh because we had a front garden and curtains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambush Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Born in Derby! Lived down south most of my life (Oxfordshire) but visits to Derby sometimes included a trip to the BBG to watch the Rams with my uncle. Late 1960's and 70's. Supported them ever since. Once a ram always a ram.Fulham here we come! COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 for some reason my brother got interested and i was allowed to go too.we stood on the ozo end at the front aged about 9 watching Fagin drink brown ale out of bottles that they opened by smashing the tops off on the old hooped railings. I was vaguely aware that the adults were sh-t scared of him. I was totally in awe of Mackay. I loved Les Green, Willie Carlin, Alan Hinton, Kevin Hector. I used to draw pictures of Hector in his no10 shirt volleying or heading it copied from pictures in SHOOT or GOAL. i can remember standing next to Wolves fans on the terraces and them offering me a share of their soup. Can you imagine that now? (Heinz Tomato). I've had a soft spot for Wolves ever after. We even went to reserve games - i remember ricky marlowe, barry butlin and tommy lawrence - the flying pig - in goals for Liverpool. Later we graduated to the popside, wearing silky scarves tied around the wrist. I collected all the home programmes for 71-72 in a binder and kept it for 40 years until i gave the whole lot to alan hinton one day. i've been addicted to derby ever since although there were a couple of short spells when i stopped going for some reason or other. Altho at others times i flew home to england to watch Derby when i couldn't bear to not be there on a saturday.strange init. Now i'm a season ticket holder again and i love watching will hughes. i'm no longer in awe of the players but i would still go giddy and girly if i met mackay, carlin, or hector.since i was young, i followed the........

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Born in Stanley. Brought up in Breadsall Village, 10 Moor Road to be precise. Dad & Grandad fans. Hence my older brother & myself are Rams. Live in Dorset now but always a Ram. At Fulham on Saturday with one of my sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Short answer: It's in my DNALong answer: Some of you might know the story of Derby County being curfewed in the Midland Hotel in the run-up to the 1946 FA Cup Final, and my mum and granny being the ladies who kept the players' morale up (not THAT way, you dirty buggers). For those of you who don't - well, be nice to me and I might tell you one day. It involves alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 never really liked football, but my brother did and was a leicester fan (because all his friends were) and a couple of years ago derby ran a fan game with cheaper tickets which happened to be derby vs leicester, so went to that game with family, deciding i was going to support derby as born and bred in derby.we lost 2-0 with another dissallowed goal, but i loved it, never looked back since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Born and bred in Derby. Took me until I was 18 and left Derby for university to properly get into football and the Rams though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 My Dads family were from the same area and i'm sure he went St Dunstans infants but he would have been a couple of years older than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
