uttoxram75 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Leicester away 1975, think it was the last away game of the season, we were a few days away from winning the League - 12,000 Derby fans swamped Leicester, they couldn't fit us all in and people were jibbing in all over the ground. There was fighting in every stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Also Coventry away on a Sunday in 74? Estimated 17,000 Derby fans in a crowd of 40,000 - absolutely mental scenes that day. Huge mass fight outside the ground after the game and a bloke right in the middle with a sandwich board shouting "the end is nigh" and "sinners repent"!

RamNut Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 72-73 arsenal 5-0 when hinton tore them to shreds. I miss the absolute hatred and loathing for the opposition which was much in evidence in those days. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatred just brings racism, violence and moronic behaviour which brings the game into disrepute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 One of the best for me apart from Charlies Real Madrid game was Steve Powells debut for the Rams against Liverpool in the Cloughie title season. Steve Powell was immense and McGovern scored the winner. Roy mcFarland dominated Toshack and Toddy played well against Keegan. Great game. Me too. I would add to that the fa cup quarter final v Newcastle in (75?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwash_Ram Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 From the old days Derby v Forest at BBG cant remember the date but we won 2-1 amazing header from Dean Saunders .. Modern PP era, the play-off game against Preston (shame about the result) the noise was incredible especially considering i was sat up in SW corner ..

Modern PP era, the play-off game against Preston (shame about the result) the noise was incredible especially considering i was sat up in SW corner .. Cracking game. Think Craig Ramage scored first goal. Remember the 'pick that out the net Mark Crossley' from Graham Richards after Saunders goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 All the above games were average. You see games like that in the lower leagues in Spain and Germany all the time on Tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayram Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Did Mick Brolly play in that one ! Graham Richards went crazy on commentary He did - in fact he set up the killer second goal for Andy Hill in injury time! He played in every game that season and then was given a free transfer by Taylor in the summer! I lived in North West Leicestershire in those days and every other kid round my way was either a glory hunting Red Dog or a Foxes fan. Rams fans were hard to find so I couldn't wait to get to school on the Monday after that cup game to rip the piss out of the Forest contingent - great days!

Jayram Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The FA Cup was massive then. It really mean't something to the fans and the clubs. In my view all clubs should be made to play their strongest first eleven or be banned from the cup - hate the way the Prem clubs treat cup games like they are pre-season matches not worthy of playing their best players in. I can remember Man Utd coming to the BBG in the FA Cup 5th round in 82/83 and being amazed at seeing stars like Whiteside, Stapleton etc in the flesh for the first time.
