EastKentRam Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I really feel quite down about this and i've never spoke to the bloke in my life, just one of those people you see at a game and you're like 'wheeeey, it's badge man, what a legend' and it just cheers you up. Just think about all the miles, time, effort and money he's put in over the years, all the things following Derby he must have seen, the love he had for the club, sad times.
