He was commonly known as Walt, used to travel with him and some of his mates on the felix to away games. The felix used to pick us up at the wilmot in Chaddesden usually it already had a load on from Ilkeston we used to keep our heads down they were all nuts. I usually had mucker with me as he’s already divulged his fighting prowess earlier in the thread you’ll understand why we kept our heads down

I know but I can’t bring myself to say Bobby Davison didn’t succeed in the top flight

Riggott wasn’t always injured in his first spell at Derby which was played mainly in the premier league. It’s hard to compare players when they’ve played in different divisions, Phil Gee looked a world beater in level 2 of English football but struggled in the top tier, until Cash as played in the top flight it will be hard to compare

I think it’s the top 4 in the world rankings that automatically qualify for the premier league not the top 4 in the world championships. They also have a certain amount of picks undoubtably Littler will be one of them

That’s a penalty all day long

Just watched the Sunny Edwards, Bam Rodriquez fight. Rodriquez looks a bit special beat Edwards up he looks like he’s been hit by a bus. Edwards got dragged into a scrap and didn’t move as much as he usually does.

Used to watch it religiously from the 70s till the 90s as I enjoy a good sports quiz, but turned into a comedy show and I’ve not watched it for years. Catch the odd snippet occasionally and mcguinness is awful I don’t rate him as a comedian never mind a sports show host

Yeah, think all the damage was done in the 7th, 1 judge with some dodgy scoring again, 2 judges had it the same as me Masternak 3 rounds ahead while 1 had it level there was no way you could have it level, thankfully it didn’t matter and Billam-Smith got the job done

Masternak quits on his stool at the end of the 7th with a rib injury I had him 5-2 up at the time. Fair play to Billam Smith he hung in there

Watching Billam Smith after 4 rounds I’ll be amazed if he goes the distance he’s getting hit to easy he needs Masternak to gas out

You can’t tar all footballers with the same brush, they would have all started playing football at a young age because they enjoyed football and had a passion for it not because they thought they’d have a career as a footballer if that was the case I should have asked Colin Addison for a job as a footballer when I left school in 1981 instead of going to Royce’s They do trot out the cliches probably because they’ve had media training and are told not to say anything controversial as it will be twisted in some way in the media I would be interested to know which Derby players don’t play with passion I see some that might lack ability but I’ve not noticed any that don’t try

Haven’t we rolled the dice before didn’t turn out to well, Having nearly disappeared I’d rather stay sustainable under a real rams fan ( Morris wasn’t) than be a rich mans/corporation play thing until he/they gets bored if that means no higher than the championship so be it

It’s a myth that it’s bad for your eyesight mucker, anyway must dash I’ve got an appointment at specsavers

He's got history of blowing things up so every chance

Rumour as it that they’re lining up julien Lopetegui

Mel didn’t pay the bill because he chose not to, yes he probably lost money but I’ve not seen him down the food bank,he’s still a very rich man. Lionel virtually died skint due to ploughing his savings into the club but his legacy is pride park and moor farm. Mel managed to lose the club pride park. There are several reasons why everything went tits up recruitment being one of them. Anyway I thought this was the matchday thread for what it’s worth I thought we played ok last night and deserved to win

He dived against us at old Trafford in the 07/08 season to gain a penalty to make it 4-1 that was the turning point in our season we’d have stayed up if it wasn’t for that 😂😂

Even though the World Cup was in India the ICC run the tournament and also say how the wickets should be prepared and which wickets should be used. For the semi final against New Zealand pitch 5 was selected by the ICC but India prepared and used pitch 6 which was a more used than pitch 5 and suited them better. I may have got the number of the pitches wrong but that was the essence of it

I prefer Bellingham in midfield rather than the advanced midfield role, he’s an absolute beast and can get up and down no problem he’s like Gerrard but more skilful. If we play Bellingham in centre midfield I think it makes us more of an attacking team because if Southgate played him in the advanced role he’d more than likely have Henderson or Phillips with Rice, we’ve got that much attacking talent we don’t need 2 defensive midfielders. I’ve put Madison in advanced midfield role and Foden wide but I’d be fine with Foden playing advanced midfield. I think Madison is the better passer of the 2 but Foden is better at running at defenders he can also pick a pass. Unfortunately we haven’t got 2 Jude Bellingham’s as I think he’s currently the best player in the world in 2 positions, centre midfield and attacking midfield

We had a choreographed goal celebration when Nigel was boss, it involved all the team sitting back for the rest of the match and not venturing past the half way line 😀

August is a good month to go away if you don’t want to watch any of the counties play just the second XI one day cup in August while all cricket as to stop for the ECBs lovechild the 100

Such sad news, lots of us when we weren’t grafting at Royce’s use to log on to the site just to see what B4 had to say, he was a DCFC legend as proven by this thread. I like many never met him but he was always positive and from some of the stories on here a caring and kind soul, if there were more like him the world wouldn’t be in such a mess as it is now RIP B4

After hearing the sad news about B4 this evening can we change the thread to Derby County flanges RIP B4
