That's fantastic news.

I bet everyone wishes they had such a wonderful, super-kind brother who would do that for them! :rolleyes:

And he got you Ziggy Stardust anorl!

For the benefit of Franco and others of an unenlightened generation, I wish to point out that Lord Clough was unsuccessful in his negotiations to bring Ziggy to the BBG!

Frank wignall.....his signature was hard to read.

Super Sub!!!!

He had the presence on the pitch that would breathe new life into the whole team.

I imagine that just seeing Wignall warming up spurred the other players on.

Everyone played for the team back then, not just their transfer value.

Scored 15 goals in 45 appearances for the Rams. Between 69 and 71.

Could well be our missing signatory!

i'm a happy chappy today , was turfing out my loft , and managed to

 

find all my old programmes and memorabilia from matches i attended

 

dating back to 1969 , including all the 'Ram' newspaper editions for our

 

1971-72 Championship winning season . Also found was the programme

 

for Gresley Rovers v Guiseley FA Vase Final , plus the Bramall Lane

 

replay programme , great games they were .

 

The greatest find , however , which i thought i'd lost forever , was the original

 

Derby County Football Book , my bro , Steve , worked with Tony Bailey's

 

dad , Stan , Steve asked  Stan  if he could get Tony to sign the book for his

 

little brother (me) :).. Tony did me proud , he not only signed my book ,

 

but got the whole squad , including Brian Clough to sign it also..

 

it was signed on the 27th February 1971 at a 'Steak Dinner' that these

 

Derby County Staff attended..

 

Jimmy Gordon , Dave Mackay ,Brian Clough , John McGovern , Kevin Hector ,

 

Les Green , Archie Gemmill , Roy McFarland , Alan Hinton , Tony Bailey , Alan Durban,

 

John Richardson , Barry Butlin , Ron Webster , John Sims , Colin Boulton , Colin Todd ,

 

Alan Lewis , Peter Phelan , Peter Stone , Peter Daniel , Ken Blair , Jeff Bourne ,

 

Dave Toon , John Sheridan , John Robson , and John O'Hare..

 

there is one signature that i cannot decipher  ( it's not Peter Taylor) , if you've any idea who it

 

could be , let me know ;)

 

i will make an attempt to get these signatures posted on here , but don't hold your breath  :)

 

I wonder what sort of value could be put on an acquisition like this ?

 

Please feel free to add your comments on these heroes from our not so distant past..

 

*footnote* rumour has it , that Brian 'ordered' all who attended to sign..

 

mo55y..

 

 

My lad's back for the weekend , and he's helped me out with downloading the autographs ,

 

the signature i can't decipher is the one to the left of Jimmy Gordon , any idea's ?

Sorry, I'm totally stumped on that one. It might be someone from the reserves - after all, Peter Stone never appeared for the first team and he's on your sheet. Strangely enough, it was Peter Stone got everyone's autograph for me (we are cousins). I've no idea where my autograph book is though - haven't seen it for many years.

 

Peters? Something like that?
