    I’d rather talk about the Legend that is Chrissy rather than the old black n white tv days of Clough n Dave tbh.  He was a much better footballer than Francis Lee. 

    I'm glad someone finally said it. A lot of people hail old players as 'legends' but overlook martin. If you compare Martin's goal scoring record for Derby to someone like Colin Todd, Peter Shilton, Roy McFarland, Brian Clough and other 'legends', it's really no contest.

    Apropos of nothing, but does anybody think the (over) analysis of football and footballers is taking a lot of joy out of the game? In particular, when a new signing comes in and armchair experts and statisticians  have already decided how good he is, where he will play, how many goals he’ll score, how many ‘key passes’ he’ll make, where on the pitch he will spend most of his time and his overall value to the team. I find it really tiresome. Am I alone in that?

    I welcome any signing. Can’t wait to see them play and then I’ll judge them after that (not using stats or heat maps, but using my eyes and nearly 50 years of watching football).  

    I'm never buying into people's opinion of a player based on their history again since bucko.

  3. That was on my 32nd birthday and we went to the pub at lunch after. I was gutted but felt so optimistic about the club and where we were going. If we could just keep those players together and get Thorne signed we'd be onto something special. How little i knew of what was to come. The last 8 years have been an absolute travesty.

    The work that was done by Clough and McLaren was completely obliterated. 3rd division team, no stadium, no players. 

    Travesty.
