The keeper was Marc Stanton.

He did not score directly from a goal kick.

St. Martins did actually take the lead.
 

My daughter was a mascot for the Rams

Thanks for the additional information Neil.

Just uploaded the latest article to the Derby County Memories website - the Rams in the Channel Islands. For those who have not seen the website before, we write about memories of the Rams through history and memorabilia.

I have heard that in the St Martin's friendly in Jersey in May 2001, their goalkeeper may have scored directly from a kick out of his hands. Did anyone go who can confirm this?

The Derby County Memories take!

524. Current club not displayed. The managerial career of an ex Rams manger.

Well, this day had to come sometime. Over the past 19 months I've covered every possible ex Ram player from the 'modern' era, several managers and a couple of the current squad but have now exhausted the options.

I'm having the weekend off and then have an idea for something else. Thanks to all of you who have joined in, it was hard to catch anyone out as the Rams fans are so knowledgeable. I think Floyd Streete was about the only one that I had to reveal.

Thanks for all the work you have put into this, really enjoyed reading this thread every day.

Gary Rowett! 

Was at Edgeley Park today, was a great game. Thought Stretton might have been one of the penalty takers but could have been down to take the fifth. 

I remember Billy Davies signed him (Ben Hinchcliffe). 

First post on Derby County Memories for a while.

Esteban Fuertes. Saw him get sent off at home to Sheffield Wednesday (?) before the 'passport' incident.

Alright Rams, Guiseley (who?) fan here in peace.

I came to the Oxford game on Saturday with my mate (Wolves fan). 

It was our first trip to Pride Park between us and usually we pick a random game every so often. So we ended up at your place.

We had a great time, your stadium is fantastic. Plenty of eateries around the ground too. The fans we were sat near were passionate and it was infectious. We were in the North Stand which was family orientated but it was nice to see so many youngsters getting behind the team.

The atmosphere was great, the bounce by the south stand was something I won't forget. Capped with a great goal to get the win aswell. 

Only downside being, we parked at the industrial park past the south stand and we didn't move for about an hour after the final whistle. But that didn't spoil a great day out. 

All the best for the season, will be looking out for your results and will likely come back later in the season too. 

Not been to Nethermoor since last pre-season (5-0 defeat to Stockport) but will try to get there again soon. I wrote an article in the Gloucester programme last season titled 'A Guiseley Ram'.

I remember seeing Lee Gregory score a brace against Guiseley for Halifax several years ago in a play-off semi-final - felt a bit strange when he went on to play and score for the Rams. Do you live in Guiseley?

Pretty sure there is a link between DCFC and Guiseley.....didn't Bobby Davison manage your club, @Nethermoor?

Is the link me?!

Saw Lewis Dobbin score a first half hat trick for Everton under 23s last pre season at Guiseley. Thought he may have been loaned out earlier.

glad these are returning, excited to get my son into collecting them.

I read on twitter they will be £3 cash around the ground

subscription to the season is £115 on that link which seems way over priced if £3 is correct 

Works out at £5 per issue including postage for the 23 home league games only. The cup games will be sold separately. Cheapest way of getting them is at the game.

Anyone created a team in the TFF this season? Looking to join a league of Derby fans if one exists.

Certainly am mate, me & my fellow South Leeds Ram are off. Spoken to @Shipley Ram too so we should all meet up for a beer beforehand ?

Sounds good. Although I pass close by the stadium on the way to work every day I don't know of the better beverage establishments in the area.

Anyone from Leeds or Bradford areas going on the 9th?
