John Robson :- nobody Robbo was good defensively and going forward. Terry Hennessey :- Hennessey was injured a lot class act though better than any of current midfield Roger Davies :- Not much between him and Martin ,Davies more mobile Jeff Bourne :- Vydra for me better finisher John McGovern:- Never was a zoonie fan he was the glue that held Derby together .Red dog favouritism means any of the current team over him. Peter Daniel :- Bucko always reminds me of Daniel would take either Keogh or Davies over him . Colin Todd :- Don't play with a sweeper but if we did Todd . Steve Powell :- Son of Tommy hard as nails yes please Kevin Hector :- Stupid question ,we have had nothing close since he retired .Should have scrapped the number ten shirt when he hung up his boots. John O'Hare :_ Similar style to Martin only braver and a bit more skill . O'Hare please. Roy McFarland:- your having a laugh probably one of the best centre halves England's ever had .You could play him instead of Keogh AND Davies and we would be harder to beat. Ron Webster Another great full back great defensively ,stocky, tough ,hard tackler what's not to like Alan Hinton Yes please best crosser of a ball I've ever seen . Had a reputation as a light weight ,BC took the players out on to the pitch at the BBG and asked them if they fancied being tackled with that brick wall so close. Archie Gemmill:- Could not pass for toffee when he first got here ,then it all clicked ,fantastic combative midfielder could carry the ball as well .Gemmill please, worst deal in Derby's history swapping him for Dracula at forest Great thread by the way. Couldn't have written it better myself, particularly the bit about the King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike a deadball on target, Hit the goal from 6 yards. Yeah they are more gifted today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys (who watched him) think? Private, I’ve mentioned it before but proud and happy to do it again. I was raised a Blue Mooner but was so heartbroken when Franny left I followed him. Nine years old I was when I told my family I was quitting my support for City to follow Derby County. Of course they laughed and said I’d be back within the month. Nope, I adopted My Rams and here I stay! The right decision obviously as Man City have barely done a thing since. A few mates do look out for our score if only to take the proverbial out of yours truly but over the years I’ve grown thick skin. I was at that game in Kippax stand with my family when he scored the ‘ just look at his face’ goal, still gives me a tingle down the spine. If I ever write a book I will call it ‘ Franny Lee changed my life’. And in so many ways!!! The sod is all Man City now, have asked him on Twitter to give The Rams a mention but Man City are his first love. Dave Mackay paid 100k for him but he didn’t really want to leave Maine Rd. His final game was our 6-2 at Portman Rd if memory serves me right and he bagged two? Wish he’d played on for another year or two but that scrap with Norm was enough to tempt him to give it up for his bog rolls and horses. Still my very favourite player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for their time almost all of them are better than our current players. But comparing them for their era Carson is better than Boulton I think. Carson is a full England international, Boulton was a bit short for a keeper as well. That's about it though Didn't many of that squad win the Div 1 Championship (now renamed premier league) twice? What is the likely hood of the current squad equalling that achievement?? No chance at all. So irrespective age or how long you have supported DCFC. There is the irrefutable answer.

Sorry to correct you but 2 seasons actually. 74/75 (championship season, look at his face!) & 75/76 (Norman hunter game & 2 goals in his last ever game at Ipswich) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaley bridge Ram Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I too was on the kipax that day but unlike SK I was a Ram then never forget that day I was also at Ipswich for frannys last game he did scored 2 and at the end a Rams fan ran on and gave him a bunch of flowers great days the 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Always had a soft spot for Colin Boulton as a friend of the family - superb keep very underrated. Kevin Hector was a legend agree should have retired the shirt. Todd and MacFarland peerless. Hinton was a genius on the ball.. We also got a few that had great careers elsewhere of course yet still became superb players for us - Charlie George Frannie Lee to name but 2..
