North East Ram got a reaction from Derby blood in The Old Guard
That would be great - statues the size and quality of Clough & Taylor, from the station / Brunny to the ground.
Not only are some of our favourite players greats for Derby but many are in the football league top 100 players.
From Bloomer to the greats of the 20s, 30s, 40s onwards - they've played for us. Shilton, Wright, Deano etc etc. World class players. People like Raitch Carter are known throughout football.
Never mind Cox and TBE!!

That's true. As I have been reading this thread tonight I came upon a photo on a heritage site of some Rams players at the opening of a sports shop in Ripley. That also wouldn't happen these days.

Mainly because they were paid eff all and needed to work.
good point though. Today s footballers are probably alright. It’s not their fault they are paid crazy money.

Most of the old players are down to earth and don't have an attitude like a lot of todays players.
I remember John Ohare driving a delivery van for a paint company around the Canal st area a good few years back and I used to see King Kev quite a lot when I picked up parcels for Parcelforce from Royal mail as he came back in after his round, Roger worked at Rolls Royce for a while and was my mates manager. Willie Carlin ran a paper shop for years and up until a few years ago, he'd still go in and help sort the papers in the morning.
Could you imagine Premiership winning players doing siimilar now?

I think he is really happy to go out with Archie Roy and Roger when I have seen him, they should all have statues lining pride parkway !

Really lucky, what was great was to be able to introduce my son to them this time and get some great pics that he can look back on in forty years and say he met them !

Hector seems to be the enigma of them all. Wonder why.
How many 100s of goals. He should have a statue.

North East Ram reacted to Carl Sagan in RamsTV Feedback
If we win, you'll have a job not hearing about it, even in Zaragoza! But I always like trying to do a "Likely Lads" if I can't follow the game.

I'd have loved it if he said Winnall had a foot like a traction engine.

North East Ram got a reaction from Owen87ITK in RamsTV Feedback
Just watched the preview show on Rams TV - absolutely brilliant. It's like Football Focus (minus the crap) just for Derby. Rams TV is getting better all the time and i can only see all clubs (well at least Champ and Prem) doing this in future. At this present time, you can't beat sky / BT etc but they must looking over their shoulder and thinking about the impact of potentially 92 clubs all chipping away at their monopoly. Another feather in Mel's cap i say.
And the way in which in sky and especially BT keep putting up their prices, it won't be long before more fans 'move abroad' to watch RamsTV every week / game. Judging from the match day chat, i never knew so many fans live overseas.
