Oh come on. He spent a large proportion of his time on the bench or out on the wing. Spot a recurring theme, with the only thing missing being played at left back.
He also got neck ache when he was in midfield from looking up watching the ball wizzing past 3 miles in the air.
His best position was in “the hole” behind the strikers, but was only played there once - against John Gregory’s Aston Villa. He ran the match and we destroyed them. I can’t actually remember the next match, but it is highly likely that he was back on the bench for that one. 🙄
He wasn’t a poor signing, he was a wasted one.

How many of you remember coming away from Tranmere after the 5-1 trashing in the nineties. It was a long drive back over the snake to Sheffield. We had no idea that we would start a 20 game unbeaten run the following game ending up with promotion that season.
Apart from that are we not punching above our weight at the moment in the division? How many other clubs are restricted to free transfers and loans?
Calm yourselves.  We are lucky to still have a club to support.

Back in the day before mobile phones my wife was in hospital giving birth to our second son. It was August 1991 and the first game of the season ( we drew at Sunderland 1-1). I was armed with money to ring all the family from the public phone box once he had been born.
He duly arrived at 3.40 in the afternoon just before half time. I went down to ring everyone to give them the news but decided to ring the club call line first. ( still remember the number 0898 121187). By the time I had finished I had used all my money before even ringing any of the family.
I pretended that all the public phones near the hospital had been vandalised when the family questioned why it was late in the evening when I rang everyone.
When my first son was born, October 1989, we were playing Cambridge in the League Cup ( we won 5-0). My wife was due at any time and against advice I went to the game and left her the phone number of the Baseball Ground so they could put out an announcement if there were  any developments.
We live in Sheffield and he arrived the next morning. I still get grief even now for going to the game. They still know nothing about the Sunderland game.

Not Derby related but it still makes me smile when I think about it.
Wednesday used to play their reserve games at Rotherham's Millmoor and after a lengthy lay-off word got round that Chris Waddle would be playing at least some of the game ( cannot remember against who ) for the reserves.
The stands that were open were virtually sold out and I went with some of my Wednesday mates. Chris played the first half and then was subbed at half time.
About 90% of the crowd went home at half time. He was such a hero at Hillsborough.

Can we crowd fund season tickets?
