We once called at McDonalds on the way home from Portsmouth, it has been Ted McMinn first game for us, and we lost 2-1 but you'll never guess what happened, I'll never forget it, I got 2 portions of chips in my bag, and guess what, I only asked for one!

Good times.

I guess that was the start of the demise of your waistline.

No point the rest of us sending in stories - no-one's going to beat that one! 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

So...my next request....i want as many accounts/stories etc etc on why you hate Forest, anything memorable about the game, the occasion etc etc you know what we need....!!

Good afternoon boys and girls.

Again, thanks so much for all the contirbutions, it is startign to take shape, sorry for anyone I havent replied to personally yet, I promise to get around to you as soon as possible.

Right, todays request, firstly, keep the Forest stories coming in, there must be more out there.!

and as the FA Cup is just around the corner, can you jog the memory banks for any tales involving the Rams in the cup, we are particularly interested in the semi final, the plymouth game (we left at 3 in the morning to go down straight from the Regal in Ripley....the driver was, maybe a little tiny bit over the limit!) the embarrasments we have suffered etc etc

many thanks in advance, and Happy New Year

cheers

Mike

Dean Sturridge scoring at Millwall and (by mistake I think) running to the Millwall end -good move for a black player on that particular ground.

Deano also "scoring" against Villa -taking his shirt off and running the length of the touchline despite being the only person in the ground to not realise he was yards of side & the flag had been up for a while.

Dave Mackay having the ball blasted into his face at point blank range against Blackburn & getting straight up.

Dave Mackay blasting the ball straight into Bobby Charltons face in the Watney Cup final -the free kick was retaken due to wall not being 10 yards -Dave Mackay did the same again, this time the cowardly Charlton ducked 1-0.

John O'Hare flying back-heeled goal against Blackburn & chesting it in against Sheff Wed.

Daryl Powells freak goal against Leicester

John O'Hare on a skating rink against stoke in Texaco cup being the only player able to keep his feet scored only goal

Roger davies missing from a foot against Chelsea & similarly against Real madrid.

Games abandonned because of Fog -Crystal palace & Burnley.

Steve Powell aged 16 -fellow Bemrosian flicking the ball over Liverpools players head in the 1-0 championship win and briiliant rare goal by John Mcgovern

Alan Hinton taking Man city apart & Ronnie webster coming all the way from the back to score diving header

Charlie George hat trick against real Madrid

Ref taking bribes against Juventus stopped us getting to European Cup Final

Ref Mike Reid on 1st name terms with Man U players (including hey Dave where are you & posh eating tonight) then sending stefan Schnoor off for 2 yellows in a minute (1 for taking throw in wrong place) after Beckham & Neville had run from touchline to plead for 2nd yellow (nothing changes at Man U).

Atwells brilliant game against Forest

Darren Powell playing for Palace equalising with OG then getting sent off within a minute (and we later signed him)

Archie Gemmill dribbling ball length of field in heavy mud to score only goal v Forest

Crowd pelting Tommy Docherty with Baseball ground turf at last game of season

"Sack the board we want Ward"

Drawing 0-0 at home to Boston in FA cup & Goalbound Boston header stuck in the mud on our goalline. Scored 6 in aftrenoon replay due to miners strike -Jeff Bourne hat trick.

conceding 6 at Middlesboro & Russell Hoult at fault for all 6. Left before simmos consolation

Simmo hat trick v Bristol City at home & still lost as Steve Sutton conceded Pen & thus goal & was sent off.

Jeff Chandler wizard of the dribble in 3rd div promotion

Iron defence Shilton, Sage, Hindmarsh, Wright, Blades, Forsyth keeping us in Prem despite lack of goals.

Point blank range reflex saves by Les Green

Colin Boulton hardly ever beaten in one against ones

Kevin Hector a million times better than Mike Channon yet won only 2 caps.

Leighton James -free kick specialist

Alan Hinton & Bruce Rioch kicks like Mule

Went to Brighton away in 1976, league cup tie in October (think we drew 1-1). It was a Tuesday night and a few hundred of us went on a football special train. Well, it was special all right! It was like one flew over the cuckoo's nest special. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Me and me mate were walking back from the ground to the station after the game when we bumped into an older group of about 20 blokes in their 20's and 30's, (we were 16 or 17). One lunged forward and sausageted me mate straight in the face saying "you fookin southern ****", "we're fookin Derby" i said before they could **** me, "oh sorry youth", said one monster built like a prop forward, "seen any Brighton cvnts"?

Later, on the train back to Derby, the same chaps were up and down the carriages nicking fags and beer off any one who had any left - the train broke down or got delayed and it was gone 4.00am before we got back to Derby station.

Tired, cold, no cigs or money, we "slept" on the station and got the mail train back to Utch at 6.00am.

It were dead glamorous following the Rams then................

Kids today, they don't know they're born.

Thanks everyone AGAIN.

As you may know, we are coming over for the Red Dog game and will be in the Waterfall enjoying the free Pedigree(thanks Rynny) beforehand and was thinking it would be great if anyone wants to show up for a beer and a chat about the Rams that i could scribble down......

Cheers

Utch - I was on that train and at that match. Lived in Mickleover at the time - first and only time i ever caught the first bus out of the bus station. It was bloody freezing when the train broke down is what i recall. Did Leighton James score our goal? Not sure I ever went back to the Goldstone Ground
