kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 He's gone....top lad,fine personality and one of the players responsible for putting the excitement back in my Derby county viewing a few years ago. Wishing him and his family a fantastic time out in the states and a successful extension to his career! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems only Nuge can rival Johnny for his tomfoolery I think it's either between Nuge or Keogh. Nothing will ever match that little grin from Johnny though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Cult hero. Sir Johnny Russell will always have a place in our hearts I suspect. We may well miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same as the guys who go to Man City and Chelsea for silly wages and sit in the reserves - I don't get that attitude! Fair - Although I'd say a potential year in the Premier League would get him a better salary and higher profile when he went over there? Flip side he'd have to sacrifice another 2 years potentially and go over there older Family reasons? Is his wife American? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 2 minutes ago, Nuwtfly said: Probably the most frustrating Derby player of the last five years. For every winding run, there was a fluffed run straight into a defender. For every wonder goal, there were mad misses. For every pinpoint cross, there was shocking deliveries. In honesty, Johnny never quite lived up to his perceived potential. But nonetheless, he was a great character, and will be missed. Best of luck, Johnny! Fairly accurate assessment of his time at PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Good luck Johnny, you did frustrate me at times, but also send me into delirium (forest goal) but you always did your best, and that’s all anyone can do. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Good luck Johnny, you always gave 100 percent, and you always played with a smile on your face, so surprise that you have took a early retirement to go and play at a very poor level in the USA, but I suppose you will enjoy the life style, you will always have a place in most Rams fans hearts, thanks for the memory's , and your best goal for us was the goal against the red dogs, once a ram always a ram.
