eddie Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 1977, Derby v Finn Harps.An old guy asked me the score at half time."Nine nil" I said."Bugger me", he replied. "I went for a **** and missed 5 goals".The interesting follow-up to that story is that Kev Moore immortalised it in song on his "Fans Fayre for the Commons People" album.

Mostyn6 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I used to like seeing my name in for scoring in the u11s, u12s, u13s etc.. and once a season, they'd put the team photos in of all the local teams.Great publication. Sadly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glyn1957 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Always looked forward to my green un from Dennis you could see him in his white coat ,the only problem was in winter when he was a little later than normal my mate and I had sank a few to many porters so I tended to read mine on Sunday morning.

ptt1 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 we used to leave the ground and get the first ones in the market square to read on the bus on the way home. always liked the middle two pages. The match reports were always funny, full report upto 70 minutes then oh and by the way Derby scored/conceded 3 goals in the last 20 minutes. (Depends whether it was pre or post 1976. The local football got better as the years went on. A lot of fans miss these, the pink un in Sheffield was also popular with guys I worked with up there.

LesterRam Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I remember getting the National Express bus from Leicester St Margaret bus station to Derby Station to watch the mighty rams (pop side) and I only ever bought a one way ticket, I used to get a free ride home with a fantastic bus driver who was a rams fan who always gave me a free lift home, obviously I gave him the rundown of the game, I was only 13 I remember at the time having to circumnavigated the derby fans that collected outside the bus station, certainly looking for trouble.

uttoxram75 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Used to buy it at the station and read it on the train home. It was the only way of knowing the results if you'd been the match and missed Grandstand in the years before Ceefax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
