Bridgford Ram Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have just heard an interview with Russell Osman (Ipswich & England) and it turns out his dad played for Derby, Osman was born in Repton and watched / supported Derby as a kid. Despite this he signed for Ipswich and made his debut in 1976 when we were still at the top. I also know that both Mickey Quinn and Alan Cork were apprentices at Derby before going on to decent careers elsewhere. Does anyone know of any others that got away, or the stories behind how Osman, Quinn or Cork slipped away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Quinn was, I think he said, deemed too small to play for Derby when he was an apprentice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think John Lukic was born in Chesterfield, so I suppose he can be classed as slipping through the net too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yakubu will always haunt me.. Was really excited about getting him then Portsmouth sign him then leads them to promotion while scoring a hat trick against us from what I remember.
