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!!

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

Wow. You lucky people. To be invited is such a nice thing for them to do. You must really strike a chord with these guys to receive an invite like that.
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 !

I instantly recognise mac and gladys, is that middle pic O'hare then?
Yes mozza, very down to earth lovely bloke with his Scottish drawl, when he told my lad that he used to play for Scotland he stated laughing and when john asked why he was laughing he said “ Scotland are rubbish” to which John agreed !

I was really lucky to get an invite along today to the yard from John O’Hare to meet up with some of the 70s legends who were meeting up to celebrate Roy Macs 70th birthday and the annual Easter visit of Alan Hinton.
i thought I would take the opportunity to take my son along to meet some of the older players who when he is grown up will hopefully be given the status that that Steve Bloomer gets now, at least he will have a few photos to show that he really did meet the men who made us famous and for a brief moment in time perhaps the greatest football team in the world ?
when I got there I was a little embarrassed to find that I was the only member of the general public in attendance and felt a little bit out of place, the classic gatecrasher at the party, fortunately I know a number of them already and was instantly welcomed, I made sure that we sat just out side of the main group to allow them to chat to each other
Every one of them made time to come over and have a sit with us, I had of course taken some stuff to get signed as it was to good an opportunity to miss, after checking that they were ok with it they signed stuff and sat and talked and had photos with my son, he loved it and entered into some great conversation with them all, he was asking them about the odd haircuts that they had on the photos ( he is only eight) he told John Ohare that he should now be called john nohare which I’m not sure if john picked up on or not, he spoke to Alan about his white boots and got me showing Alan photos of his green boots, to a man they sat and chatted away talking about anything and everything, the numbers continue to dwindle, I felt like the man in the middle sharing stories of my recent meets with Colin Boulton, Colin Todd, Frank Wignall, john McGovern, and Peter Daniel, those in attendance (some with their good ladies) were John Ohare, Alan Hinton, Alan Durban, Roy McFarland, Roger Davies, Rod Thomas, Jim Walker and Henry newton, once again it struck me that the club should make more of a fuss of these guys whilst they are with us, let’s not wait twenty year before we finally get round to making up a song for them that we sing and the younger generation doesn’t have a clue what the names Todd, McFarland, Nish, Hector, Hennessy, Boulton, Newton, Gemmill, Davies, McFarland, O’Hare, McGovern, Hinton etc mean to Derby as a city.

Some great stuff there @Tim Bucktoo !! The legends of our time !
a bit like when Cloughie took over he had goal machine Kevin Hector already at the club,
when Arthur took over he had another striking legend in place whose goals would drag us out of those dark days ! Oh bobby bobby !

Rightish period, but you’re overshooting his ability 1000%! Take a closer look at my avatar. When things are going badly I look at that and realise just how good we are at the moment!
Ha ha now I see ! He went on to play 425 games for Coventry! Probably explains why they are where they are now !
