Walter Roulstone (1866–1953) was an English footballer who played for Derby County.[2] William Roulstone was signed in 1886 by Sawley Rangers F.C. Very little is known about Sawley Rangers except they were founder members of the Derbyshire Football Association. Albert Williamson was only at Sawley Rangers for one season, 1886–87. Albert Williamson was on Derby County's books for the one season prior to the start of the Football League, 1887–88.[2][3][4] Walter Roulstone made his League debut on 8 September 1888, playing at wing–half, at Pike's Lane, the then home of Bolton Wanderers. Derby County defeated the home team 6–3. Walter Roulstone appeared in 21 of the 22 League matches played by Derby County in season 1888–89. As a wing-half (20 appearances) he played in a midfield that achieved big (three–League–goals–or–more) wins on three separate occasions.[3] He was the first player to make 100 league appearances with Derby County. His brother Frank was also a footballer. Although Derby County had had a poor season (1888–89), Roulstone was retained to play alongside the more experienced professionals being brought in during the close season in 1889. Roulstone stayed with Derby County for seven seasons leaving in 1894. He played 118 games becoming the First Derby County player to play 100 games for the club. He went to local non-league club Heanor Town in 1895.[5]

My take on B4 as a poster, He is NEVER WRONG, If we pointed out his mistakes he'd come back with an answer, Not the right answer but an answer, We'd correct him, But No...he aint having it still more answers, It got to the stage where me/some would just give in, His enthusiasm was infectious, His positivity was overpowering, His loyalty was honourable, He never got upset with posters...he is one of a kind. Scraves, Flanges, The food down his shirts, The pain in his foot, Losing his job at the Cinema...he just kept going, Even someone like me felt an affection for him...God bless him 😉

Thanks Cisse, My Daughter is the architect but the idea was mine, I just thought it would be a nice gesture for B4 to look over PP as the Giant of a Fan he...IS! 😉 ☺️

That's all Greek to me 😉

Someone else enjoyed the day 👌

B4 Was there...☺️

Oooo I don't know about that, Birmingham City is going down well 😁

He's managed to revive this thread 😁

BBC report...readers comments at the bottom...still a fare bit of love for DCFC from other teams fans 👍 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68862409

😁

And not one lamppost in sight 😁

Birmingham City

What a last game 👏 Sorry to hear about your mate 😔

I've been sent a picture of my 14 year old Grandson with Eiran Cashin on the pitch, Now that's one to treasure 😊

I'm older than 4 minutes

Well today is done, Not quite the cantor I thought but a win is a win, Promotion is what it's all about and it was done, There'll be a cull in the summer...but that's another thread. Not quite wasted but enough to get home, Telegraph was RAMmed and rightly so. My 1 disappointment was with the North Stand, All the old and young uns...ran onto the pitch, My you just couldn't hold your excitement could ya 😁 Well done all...over and out 😊

Todays another day in our great history, 27-04-2024 will live long in our memories. Derby County squad/management it's in your hands Derby County supporters will push you along. GET IT DONE!

I'm as chilled as an North Sea Cod, No panic, Will sleep soundly, Get ready for the match in the Morning...bus into town...a 5 min walk to the boozer and the day starts. Never been so confident since Zebedee said...if you don't fcukin bounce...if you don't fcukin bounce you're a red 😊

If the game isn't on you can nip upstairs and watch the Mousetrap

The Government giveth with one hand and taketh with the other 🙄 In todays world we have to be a little cute on how to get a deal, Save a couple of quid and enjoy our retirement, It's the younger ones that will be seeing the chickens coming home to roost and I wish them well 👍

Those up in the upper stands will see soon enough as to whether they'll be an invasion, As fans will start to congregate at the bottom of the lower stands, My guess is there will be a larger contingent of stewards to "try" and stop any incursion of the pitch. The South Stand and East Stand Lower will be where the "tidal wave" will come from...if at all If promoted lets all enjoy the day...dispersal order/pitch invasion or not 😊

Another over the top reaction from those who can control the public, Ones persons disorder is another persons party, I think we'll need VAR here to decide. Are fans going to celebrate if DCFC are promoted...of course they are, Do people celebrate the New Year...of course they do, Is there any dispersal orders on New Years day?...football support has changed over the years, The police attitude to supporters hasn't. Come Sunday afternoon if someone is attacked in Derby town centre...there'll not be 1 old bill to be seen 🙄

Ben Toner is the Referee tomorrow, He's reffed us twice this season, Oxford at home 1-2 and Burton at home 3-2, Hows things Ben...all good I hope 😁

An old friend who lived on Meadow Lane Chadd was dating BCs Daughter(Elizabeth)she was a bit of a rebel in them days, Dad wasn't impressed as there was a big age difference. BC and my mate ended up having fisticuffs on my mates front garden, The story hit the News of the World, He made a few bob, We weren't to impressed with him selling the story...he soon bailed from Chadd...never to be seen again by us 🤷‍♂️

Telegraph on Traffic St 👍😊
