Posted February 12, 201411 yr Hello all, I've got an important question I am struggling to find the answer to. I need to know as many players as possible that have played for both Derby County and Manchester City. I ask because a good friend of mine is getting married and she wants to use footballers as table names. She is a massive Man City fan but her husband to be is a Rams fan, so to be equal on the day they want to use names of players who have played for both clubs. So far google has been a bit of help with: Peter Doherty (46 cup final scorer) Francis Lee Georgi Kinkladze (probably will be top table name:-) And the mighty Lee Croft. They are Struggling for any others so I though I'd ask you bunch of well informed people. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers England Ram
February 12, 201411 yr Nigel Clough played for City and managed Derby. Also, my whole missus family are City fans too...
February 12, 201411 yr Javan Vidal, if you are really desperate. However, a few minutes as a sub for the Rams and NO senior games at all in 3 years on the books at City suggests that this is a table for distant second cousins, disliked colleagues and the other half's ex, at best.
February 12, 201411 yr Ones not named above (at the time I started digging)... Bill Eadie played over 200 times for Man City - he was reported to have played for Derby County but I suspect that was wartime only (1914-1918) Horace Barnes played 153 times for Derby and 218 times for Man City Both teams had players called Tommy Johnson (not the same player though) Peter Doherty played 133 times for Man City and was in Derby County's cup-winning side (and scored). Paddy Fagan played 165 times for Man City and 24 times for Derby Dave Watson played 146 games for Man City and 34 times for Derby Phil Boyer didn't get into Derby's first team but played 20 times for Man City
February 12, 201411 yr Lee Bradbury played 40 times for Man City and 7 times for Derby Frank Buckley played 11 times for Man City and 92 times for Derby John Burridge played 4 times for Man City and 6 times for Derby Steve Carter played a couple of games for Man City and 33 times for Derby. Trevor Christie (legend!!) played for both clubs (no idea how many appearances) Arthur Bacon played 8 times for Derby and 5 times for Man City. I like bacon. Fred Bevan played 8 times for Man City and 51 times for Derby Albert Fairclough played 5 times for Man City and 39 times for Derby Archie Ferguson played 49 times for Derby and twice for Man City Paul Futcher played 37 times for Man City and 35 times for Derby Mark Lillis played 39 times for Man City and 15 ties for Derby Having a break now - more later.
February 12, 201411 yr Def Mark Lillis. Good call Eddie. I think Ashley Ward was at Citeh but not 100% on that.
