Sublime. and workrate.....always put a shift in as well as being skillful. North East Ram, derbydaz22 and Derby4Me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Loweman said 83 wasn't bad for the cup and Fulham games, from somewhere in my teenage memory 15 hours ago, uttoxram75 said: What a day that was! In case some of you had not heard, the gumps had fluked a cup win or summat and thought they were really good. Poor lickle Derby were a league below them and were going to be thrashed...... Archie, Archie Gemmillllllllll....... All that became an even more distant memory though, gawd knows what the old uns that had witnessed European nights thought in 83/4 Pretty dire football, rival fans school mates taking the p***. Then came King Arthur! loweman2 and uttoxram75 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then came King Arthur! In under10 years we went from champions, thrashing Real Madrid, wining 13-0 in Europe, winning the charity shield and other cup semis to relegation to Div3. Staggering. I took the wise decision to wait until we'd truly blown ourselves out and waited until 84 til going every week. We could only muster 4 v Real and I saw us plant 7 v Lincoln. Oh yeah, who's winning now. Still, without the devastatingly good and the stupidly bad, there's no context eh? Who needs constant highs....? Not us, that's for sure uttoxram75, Zag zig and loweman2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 33 when he joined us, probably should have finished at 32! uttoxram75, loweman2 and Zag zig 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh bobby bobby ! Not many players known by just their first name. I was gutted when we sold Kevin Wilson but Bobby was great. Theres was more happened between 84-89 than everything combined since. And I loved the TBE era too. Derby4Me and loweman2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Thought this could do with a bump and a re read, some great days ! The man who dragged us out of the dark days and onto great things, a rich owner coming in, paying off the debts and rolling our sleeves up and starting again, everything is cyclical!
