StockholmRam Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Wrote an old Popside mate of mine today.. Got me thinking... What else did we have when Derby were last really good? I get the ball rolling with... National adverts with Kevin Hector and Charlie George in them. Something about Eggs. Proper chippies that sold spam fritters and batter bits. Top of the Pops Shoot Mag ( Nowt to do with ) Roy of the Rovers and Billy's Boots. Cod Liver oil Carlisle in top flight football. Free milk at school. The cane at school. Over to you lots...

Duracell Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Bit depressing that you'd glossed over the mid/late 1990s as us being "good", and that challenging for the top flight title is the absolute bear minimum you expect. If that's the case, we're never going to be good in my lifetime But to play along, last time we were good my dad was not tall enough yet to see anything in the Popside.

I didn't have hair then either mate so I'm afraid it's 70s for me on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 A presentation of the cup at the council house in Derby. Wooden rattles. Anybody remember them? Used to be able to twirl them round at the match and nobody said they were offensive weapons or moaned about the noise (like the vuvuzelas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing them on Telly, think it was our last home match and we were presented with the league championship trophy that day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
