Interesting fact about Alan: His debut was for Cardiff against Derby in 1959. We lost! If that was the home game when we lost 2-1, I was there, and we also lost away one week later by 2-0, both night matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The runs that are coached, the triangles… You watch old videos and it’s basically Hinton skipping past a full-back and crossing time and time again.

Brammie Steve Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm only 67. I'll join when I become an Oldie. Mind you, I did get to see those on the list play. I can just imagine any of the current squad trying to kick a dead weight about in a boggy swamp......and win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We go on about 20 goals a season but look how many Franny banged in, doesn't seem to get mentioned much by Derby fans surely one of the best we had. What do you guys (who watched him) think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Franny Lee was brilliant for us. Will be a legend, just for beating up Norman Hunter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Those were the days my friends. And I was there! I'm not so sure modern players are fitter, certainly more injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurich Ram Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This was Dave MacKay's first game against his old club, no wonder he was chuffed to see Les Green stop that shot from Jimmy Greaves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a game at the BBG against Burnley may have been one or may the first match after we went up.Les Green saved a penalty ,Dave Mackay went up to him picked him up by the shirt ,patted him on the head dropped him back in the mud and strode off .What a leader.

angieram Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Don't take this the wrong way, and I'm sure it doesn't apply to anyone posting on here but we are all getting to an age where we might know someone affected by dementia. Anyway, I thought this looked a great evening if you have a friend or family member who qualifies, and you could always wangle an invite as their carer!
