I also really enjoyed the interview, but loved the squad picture at 0.29 mins. That picture was the first Rams picture I remember putting up on my bedroom wall - I have seen it since 1980's. My mum prepared looking at that picture whilst hoovering the bedroom, which I shared with my younger brother (he's a Wolves fan) he didn't have a Wolves team picture up, but a rather large picture of Sam Fox with her rather large assets. 

I just had Sam Fox on my wall.

Born in 72 I was to young to remember the championship winning teams but my dad said Roy Mac was the complete centre half,what would he be worth in today’s market? 

To put it in to context, in terms of Roy Mac's value, Virgil Van Dyke would compare as very ordinary.

Unfortunately in today’s market we would never have signed him. A Liverpool supporting Scouser, he would have been signed up to them as a 12 year old, if not earlier.

Wally is to the left behind Arthur, next to Rob Hindmarch

Well dd22, I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say he was a colossus. Brave as a lion, he played against some real tough nuts and was never intimidated, intelligent, not just a “win me ‘eaders” or hoof it defender, read the game well, scored his share of goals for a centre half, it was a privilege to watch him at his peak. 

Can’t speak highly enough of him as a player or a bloke.

He was world class and that's no exaggeeration. Had he signed for Liverpool had Cloughie not camped on his settee until he signed it would have been Roy Mac lifting the European Cup for Liverpool and not the late Emelyn Hughes. A real footballing centre half who always had some much time on the ball and who was such a 360 degree visionary. Together with Colin Todd they were alone worth the entrance fee. When I think of Derby County my mind's eye paints a picture of Roy McFarland in white Rams shirt: tall, handsome, robust, skilful. On top of all that, he is a thoroughly great bloke. Deserves to be cast in bronze for ever.

Bloody brilliant two part interview. What a player. What a man. A true gentleman. You want to know what legend really means?.. Look no further than this man. Exceptional.

Felt like I was transformed back into them great days.

Not enough about his time as manager for us and others for me.

But still a ledge

[Gritstone Ram]

Brilliant. I particularly like the bit about the fans turning up in the 1000's to watch absolute rubbish.

I thought that too. How we got him to come back from Bradford, his time as assistant and manager.

[angieram]

Colin did say that would have to wait for another interview! Roy has such a lot to tell as he has been around the club for nearly 50 years.

Great to listen to him.

There will be part 3 and part 4 ... patience people 

[RamNut]

The fans really love those players.....all of them.

Actually I agree- it either needed a part 3 or Gibbo needed to manage the interview a bit better.
