Sad news that Paul Futcher has died at 60. I remember watching him play for Derby as a lad in the early 80s although I think he was only here for a season?

 

He was one of the highlights of the peter taylor side, along with bobby davison

until pete went a bit mad.

RIP

Paul Futcher and Bobby Campbell both dead at 60. What a poor side we had back then but me and the brother in law never missed a game home and away. RIP

RIP

Not been a good year. In addition to Campbell and Futcher, we've lost Bourne,  Middleton and our Gordon.

You're right, it has been a bad year hasn't it!  RIP Paul and all the others.

RIP. Underrated player. Bit of a legend at Barnsley and Grimsby. 60 is no age.

Really sad about that -  twins yeah - Ron and Paul - both good footballers

Jeff Bourne has died? I think I missed that. Can't forget him coming on a sub in a European game.. We came back from 1-0 down to win 3-1... Barry Davies said when Bourne did a one-two " Bourne again" ... Pun was intended. Sadly he won't be Bourne again.

yes it's been a rotten year. 

That is SAD NEWS.

I Remember when he signed for us Peter Taylor described him as a NEW Colin Todd.

Was a decent player but he was sold to Barnsley when Derby were SKINT ! 

Looking at the article in the D.E.T regarding Paul Futchers death the action shot looks like Plymouth Argyle away F.A Cup 1984 with Bucko and GOOD old Kenny in the shot too.

Recall travelling down to the match on a "Football Special" train

GREAT DAYS even though we were going through troubled times and were playing **** football  

If only I had a time machine!
