Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Would be interested on you views on which player has had the most defining game in a period of Derby history and why . I remember this guy making his full debut in goal against Everton at home we lost 4-3 and he was hopeless, as far as I can recall he didn't play for us again . We had just come off the back of a few good results and had won this one I reckon we would have stayed up and shared in the potless bounty of the prem rather than having the three amigos, almost insolvency and so many years in this league with only one forgettable season out of it .

Angry Ram Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Dean Saunders, Wimbledon. Started like a train and loved him from that moment on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biley66 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was in the home end at Tranmere for Stimacs debut, I think was a defining moment for the Jim Smith era. Yes, and the Dean Saunders debut stands out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Defining games worst - Hillsboro semi final - loss to Manchester Utd. Wasn’t expected. The downward spiral occurred from that game Best - Stimac debut at Tranmere - list 5-1 then went unbeaten for 19 games I think George’s hatrick against Real Madrid at BBG BBG pitch - defining moment - when they bought a tape measure out and a bucket of white paint to measure the penalty spot out - Man City in the cup. Think Rioch slammed it in!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was as good as Vydra from the spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Prenton Park for Stimac debut you could tell straight away he was the leader we had been waiting for and he scored Will Hughes debut against Peterborough we watched in amazement as this skinny kid dazzled us with his skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked Gerry Daly - talented player - of course he played against us in the semi final - left cos he fell out with Docherty - then got him back !!!

A Ram for All Seasons Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Patrick Foletti's main claim to fame was that the Observer's automatic spell checker referred to him as "Patriot Fellatio" and the sub-editors missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Can remember Hughes' debut at Posh (I think). Mostly because we were watching him warm up at half time (think this was the same year that classic Youtube clip of the fans singing throughout half time comes from), and we could just tell from the way he kicked the ball that he was a cut above. Then he came on and we lost 3-2. Then won £20 on a fruity at the train station. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daly missed one I think at least I remember when we missed two penos and Im sure he was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewethanised Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 In recent memory I can think of that game of two halves versus Ipswich when we came from 4-1 down to draw 4-4, leading us to have a terrific run of form and finish 3rd, before THAT goal *shudders* Craig Bryson scoring two and Jamie Ward during that second half which gave the fans hope, then belief, then delirium!

Red_ram Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Not a defining moment but my only memory of Patrick Foletti was one his first touches being a diving header to clear the ball at filbert street as we avenged ‘savage gate’ with a 3-0 trouncing. Being locked in afterwards and thus getting an audience with mr savage was lovely. I have no recollection of the Everton game. Was so much tripe over the years I’ve blocked a lot of it out.
