I know this thread was born from an extremely sad place. But the love and positivity that has come from that has been wonderful. It’s my favourite thread on the forum. 
Thank you Daniel 🖤🤍

I was there. Sure it was a Deano equaliser (superb header) and PG winner. 

I have a couple of standout games. Apologies if someone already flagged them up. 
Also apologies if I dont tell the tale exactly as it happened. Its an age thing.
1990 a game we lost but football won.
Rams 4 - Chelsea 6
The most bonkers last 20 mins of a game I recall. 1-3 down. Brought it back to 3-3 ( might have gone 4-3 up… oh memory time) lost 4-6. I think most fans from both sides left the Baseball Ground stunned at what they had just seen.
 
Aston Villa away. Dean Saunders is relatively new and cost mega bucks for the period.
Villa go 1-0 with a Derek Mountfield goal infront of us who were behind the goal opposite the Holte End
Villa fans chanting ” what a waste of money” at our new expensive signing.
Deano wasnt having much of a game and then out of nowhere scores 2 goals
Villa fans silenced and we left the stadium singing ” what a waste of money”… 
So many more to tell… 
Oh go on… Highbury away in Arsenals last second winner at Anfield season. Derby win at Highbury to take Arsenals season into high stress levels.
Deano again turning Tony Adams inside out and getting a penalty which he duly despatched and then popping up at Highburys clock end with a superby volley ( right level with my seat too) to win it.
I was on leave and in London and actually found that match ticket.

Niche one from me...
Our 5-1 home win against Blackpool in the Mac1 season.
They took the lead very early on in a first half that we utterly dominated. I remember being supremely confident of turning it around in the second half - it wasn't even a possibility in my mind that we weren't winning that game.
Came out second half all guns blazing, Martin hat-trick, couple of red cards for them, and an easy three points in the end.

October 21 1961.  Derby 2 Liverpool 0.   Mick Hopkinson from 60 yards !! (well it seemed like it from the 'boys' enclosure !!) and Bill Curry. 27000+ at the BBG. Ron Yeats putting Bill Curry into the railings in frustration.
September 24th 1966.  Derby 4 Huddersfield 3  Kevin Hectors home debut. Boy was that some debut !! Despite having 4 opposition trying to mark him he still managed to score and created the space for Durban to score 3. Little did we know then what the next 10 years would hold !!
November 1st 1969.  Derby 4 Liverpool 0. Can still see Hector and O'Hare bearing down on Lawrence in goal at the Ossie End for the fourth goal. 40993 at the BBG.
January 23rd 1971.  Derby 2 Wolves 1.  FA Cup 4th round. 40000+ at the BBG. 6" of mud and John O'Hare chesting in, in the 90th minute !!
Need I go on. Oh those memories.
 

1968 chelsea cup match.Who could forget  night matches at the Baseball ground, smoke swirling round from Leys. It was my first match, we won., loved the rams eversince.

1-0 Sheff U away 1987, Phil Gee nutmegging John Burridge 10000 Derby fans rammed in the away end. 

The coffee cup game was better than the 5-0 for me. Dont know whether it was jus the expectations at the time or my age, but I’ve always loved that. 
Southampton play off semi. Pitch invasion in torrential rain. Epic that was. 

I'd like to think that his legacy will be "Be More B4". It's a lovely sentiment, befitting the guy. Kudos to the member who came up with it, and we all know that the internet can be a horrible place - but B4 was just 'nice'.

Thanks Cisse, My Daughter is the architect but the idea was mine, I just thought it would be a nice gesture for B4 to look over PP as the Giant of a Fan he...IS! 😉 ☺️

This really got to me. It's such a funny but warm picture. Just like B4.

Please, please, please, take some time to grieve over the summer and look after yourself 

I was very privileged to have sat with him for that meal, I can confirm the fish and chips were more enjoyable than the match.😥

We don’t know the reason for it but Daniel just stopped breathing in his sleep. The ambulance crew got a very faint heartbeat, so he went onto life support in ICU but he died two days later. Nothing showed up on hospital tests or the digital autopsy, so the coroner stated natural causes. He had a cold prior to it but had said he was feeling better. It seems that he would felt very little if anything when he stopped breathing, which is some comfort. The night before he had been at the Crewe away match and had fish and chips for his dinner. I’m glad he was doing something he loved on his last evening. Today is very tough 💔

Obviously someone you are slightly poorer for not having come across on here , at pride park or away days all over the country for many years and I don’t mean that in a horrible way to you , he was a top lad who brought a smile to the face of everyone lucky enough to meet or interact with him 👍

Used my bus pass for the first time yesterday (apart from getting past the safe-standing ticket checks - twice!) and as I walked across the Morlege at about 9.15 I could see about a thousand people out on the pavement already. Derby was heaving with Rams already! A great day yesterday!

I accidentally got drunk again.

... The day before. Reflections of yesterday with a bangin head!
It wasn't just Pride Park or the Neptune - it was the whole of Derby - some places have it and some don't, it's that simple!
It's easy to support Liverpool, it's easy to follow one of the Manchester clubs.
I don't think there is a greater footballing place in the UK than Derby!
COYR!
