therams69 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Always remember the time I refused him from travelling to Amsterdam for the mid season game... Had his wife's passport ... I was more than prepared to do a dodgy and hold the flight as much as I could for him (would do it for any Derby player mind and have done before) so I advised him to get his passport here in a taxi .... His response .... Do you know how far my backdoor is to my front gates LOL! I wasn't travelling to the game as was working in the early morning obviously but had a second wind and thought sod it I am going so it goes something like this ...... I changed Sav's booking over for the afternoon flight and made a few calls and what not and had managed to agree to share a taxi with him to the ground which we would have just made on kick off time... Mick Derby had borrowed the flag for a reserve game at Southend I think it was ... He was on that flight ... So I thought if I am going may as well get the flag across ... I called our agents in Amsterdam to meet Mick Derby on arrival and get his front door key flown back on the flight back so I could nip to his house before getting the afternoon flight ... Unfortunately Mr Derby could not be located on arrival! Had second thoughts and couldn't justify around £150 for 12 hours in the Netherlands so pulled out. Shame. Sharing a taxi with Sav would have been eventful. Never mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 You know, i think i've changed my mind about Savage, i kind of like him now and his hairstyle and approachable manner and come to think of it he was a fabulous player for us and kept the morale high by owning the most expensive sports car and wearing the most brilliant clothes. He's a terrific pundit too, has decades ahead of him. Love the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 yeah I don't mind Savage, when he bought his Dad on the pitch I shed a tear and he isn't a bad pundit really, he was bought as a disruptive player and he had very little technical ability which he admits himself but great for moral.

Bwash_Ram Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I suspect he hasnt been on here in a long time, so kind of irrelevant. The real question should be, which current players are on here and what are their names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think Robbie Savage has excelled in Radio and TV since he quit being a very top footballer. I also like his new haircut, but on saying that I loved his long wavy hair flowing in the wind at pride park too. Bloody traffic in Wrexham has been a nightmare this morning.....

Sharing a taxi with Sav would have been eventful. Never mind! I'd rather share a taxi with Mick Derby than Sav!......and I have!......went to a reserves game down in Southampton quite a few years back, when I'd take a week's holiday to come down, taking 3 Derby games in the week, plus a reserves game. Danny Higginbotham era. PS I bet Sav's wife's passport photo looked more like a bloke than Sav's does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I really liked Lee Naylor. He was a fantastic signing and a calming influence on the side. His devilish good lucks made up for what he lacked in height. A great loss for the Derby side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The multi millionaire Robert Savage was going to let you pay half of a taxi fair that you had arranged to get him to the ground, so he wouldn't get fined for missing a game because of his own incompetence? Really? what a tossed salad he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram1964 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Never had a prob with savage,he is what he is and has done well for himself considering he was an average pro. Think the hype of being on motd montage gave him house hold name status which he has managed to milk and continue to stay in the media. Dont agree with his punditry most of the time,but i have met him and he seamed a nice enough fella.Goof luck to the guy for making the most of his talent,def over excelled and fef a blue nose rather than a ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 it's @Bris Vegas #ITK I'm still partly convinced that @Ninos is Tom Ince (due to his loathing of Chris Martin) and I've a half notion that @ronnieronalde is someone very close to Nigel Clough.

Actually ... Im not Thomas, honestly, and I don't loathe him he just prefers to play alongside Benty. Plus Thomas and Crissy aren't on the same footballing wavelength. Notice this season Thomas doesn't flap at teammates, at least post Burton away. With Crissy it's in his genes to moan. He winds me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
