Kernow Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Without looking it up I'd guess our longest serving player is Buxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Buxton's been here since 2009 so four more years (when he's 34) and he'd get a testimonial. Can't see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachmyster Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Cheers for that just shows that players don't really stay with the same clubs like they used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 They also dont need the money of a testamonial anymore either.They earn enough to live off without working for the rest of their lives.The like of hector the postie cant say the same.

peachmyster Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was going to add that its because they now earn vast amounts of money and will go and play for the highest bidder does anybody think that there are any players who are always loyal to the club they play for nowadays ?

davenportram Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 only Ryan giggs and some if the kids that Fergie brought through as high profile players that stayed loyal to a club. only they were loyal to the money they were being paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The term "charity match" seems to be more common these days. Gerrard is having one this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hendrick or Hughes maybe? Grant if you exclude his time away.Think McMinn has had the only testimonial at Pride Park. Only other player I remember having one is MartinTaylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Always wondered what the football league, most of all the premier, would look like if they could only have players born and living in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Fun question then....... Who on here would be eligible to play for Derby if you had to be born within 20 miles of the ground, (for the pedants we'll assume its both the BBG and the iPro). I would. Born in Burton, about 12 miles away..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
