England Ram Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Fantastic interview as part 1. Loved Phil Gee. Although im sure he’s happy in Work and with his family, I watch some of our hero’s working a 10 hour day or even on the bread line sometimes and wonder if the club could do more to make life a little easier and to show our appreciation. Almost like an ex player who helped us achieve something pension/payoff. They may not want it, and we all know the money wasn’t in the game back then as much as it is now, but I’d love them to know how much they meant and still mean to us.

We’re still paying for it with the Walsh foul in 93, Atwell, the worst reffing decision of all time by that useless **** at Burnley.... I think the referee was bent.

North East Ram Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Brilliant. What a pleasant and humble bloke. That was the best time watching Derby home and away. I missed a lot of TBE as I left Derby for university / work, although enjoyed the bragging rights and pride of our success. Has RamsTV done a Bobby special yet? Or are saving that for April / May when we go up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often rag-rolled his man and brushed up defenders. Always showed huge spirit and very dedicated to his preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 What a great, humble bloke making light of all his achievements in helping Derby back to the big time back then. A real rags to (somewhat) riches story of perseverance and never giving up on your dreams. His story really highlights the gulf in money players were paid then and what their on now. Sky has distorted players wages to astronomical level but with it destroyed the 'human' link between the players and the everyday supporters. Can't wait for the 2nd part of the interview. I think ramstv is getting better and better all the time in its coverage of Friendly, U23 and U19 match's, features and interviews. A big thanks to Mel for launching this great idea.

Rams fans totally out numbering the home fans and when that goal went in, right in front of me. I jumped with the crowd and got crushed up against the fence about 3 feet off the ground for about 2 minutes. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Brilliant stuff....Phil was a raw player but scored some great goals and I often questioned if he was good enough at the time then he would pop up with a goal or two ...great memories...Sheffield United away will always live in the memory ...fantastic support that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think Phil Gee summed himself up well, with what he answered when he was asked if anyone knew at his work that he played professional football and he played for Derby County etc and when he was approached in the pub by a Derby fan etc. Top real bloke just getting on with it, so many modern day footballers just don't know how lucky they are to be in such a wonderful working position. Gee......Gee......Gee...and Bobby D....D.....D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
