who is this then ? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

John Middleton.

We also had David McKellar around the same time 1977-79 ish. (without looking it up)

Without GOOGLING..can you have a guess at how many keepers we have had that played international football during their time at Derby? To make it easier we can say from 1950 to now.

Can I guess 3?

Shilton, Poom, Lewis Price

[AndyinLiverpool]

Did Roy Carroll get caps while at Derby or was he still sleeping it off?

[Dimmu]

According to Clough, Bywater was close. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I think Shilts won most of his England caps whilst at derby didn't he? Great goalie and i agree Pooooooooooom was immense.

I thought Hoult was a good goalie & Grant should of been given a better chance at derby.

[Hucknall Ram]

I think Shilts won most of his England caps whilst at derby didn't he?

At a guess I would say he won 35 - 40 caps whilst at Derby

Yakka.... as a kid, someone with such an "exotic" sounding name playing for us... brilliant..

Wallington - Great

Eric Steele - The first footballer I ever had a conversation with, I was so star struck, told him that his shirt (he wore a red one against Plymouth) looked great and he just laughed and asked me if i thought we would win the league next year (in the top flight) i told him, of course we will..!!

After my time but a friend from Brum (keenest Rams supporter I know) says he also spoke to Steelie at the end of that season and said "You'll be playing in the First Division next season then Eric to which he replied "No chance!"

Football was a pretty cruel game even then.

I did indeed mean Wycombe ! Wanderers - one-time Rams 'graveyard' where Martin O'Neill made his managerial name and from whence Richards tried to persuade Pickering to bring him to Derby.

[davenportram]

International goalies - I'd say not many.

Top of my head

Shilton and Poom

[AndyinLiverpool]

I always thought Shilts was worth 9 or 10 points a season.

And I now look back with affection his complete inability to save a penalty.

[harwich ram]

best keeper ive seen boulton cant stand theses keeper who dont catch the ball but push it out only for it to come straight back at them

[StockholmRam]

To my knowledge I got it down to;

Peter Shilton - England

Lewis Price - Wales

Mart Poom - Estonia

Roy Carrol - N Ireland

Yaka Banovic - Australia

Be delighted if anyone can come up with more. My brain is well and truly wracked thinking about this...

I have had the pleasure of spending many an evening with Martin Taylor and he is a top bloke.

1 conversation we had was about the game against Southend and his injury. He said he remembered Dave Regis (was that his name?) going off injured and thinking thank goodness for that as he was a right dirty barstool, only for him to come back on after some treatment. And the rest, as they say, is history. He was also on the verge of joining Chelsea along with Paul Williams and had been watched by some of the England set up as well.

It was Dave Regis, he'd probably be sent to prison nowadays for the murderous challenge on Taylor.

Taylor? Hell of a keeper, really think he would have gone on to a great career without that injury.

'and it's not often you see Peter Shilton beaten from that distance'......a sentence that commentators seemed to use quite often when he was in a Derby shirt. Everton 3 Derby 0 in 87/88 was possibly the worst display of the lot.

My main memories of Shilton are wimping out to Maradona in 1986 and rooted to his line in 1990 in the semi-final. We could have won two more world cups with a braver keeper.

His reputation was made during the 3 seasons of success that the gumps had back in the late 70's despite him playing a hundred times more for Leicester than them. On his day, his shot stopping was superb but he lacked a bit of courage when it really mattered.

Spot on Uttox. Had this conversation re Shilts and lack of bravery on numerous occasions. He was technically gifted and a superb shot stopper no doubt but he could be very much lacking in moral courage as a player at times. This opinion has had me riduculed and laughed out of the building on occasions. But my shoulders are broad... so broad in fact that I have roughly the same opinion of one of Arthur Cox,s Rams legends..super player at times but could have given so much more to the club and his own career. Seemed to fall out with people and place blame for defeats anywhere but on himself.Should have been and had the ability to do MUCH MUCH better than he did. Anyone care to guess who im talking about?

[maydrakin]

The first keeper I saw was Yaka Banovic in 1982 and he pulled off a brilliant one handed save. I remember deciding to be a goalie after that but wanted to only use one hand to save shots... obviously my calling in the nets never came to fruition!

Graham Moseley....there's a blast from the past....anybody else remember him ?http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/thinking/old-025

Graeme Moseley used to come to my mum & dad's shop in Willington near the power station (it's gone now), as his uncle used to live on Fern Avenue just round the corner...
