loweman2 Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Cloughies first signing at Derby and took him everywhere, including leaving him stranded at Leeds, one of our great centre forwards and another incredibly friendly and open man, happy to share memories and stories, his book would be good, very good ! John O’Hare or John Nohair as jordan decided to call him. richinspain, Dordogne-Ram, angieram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Old White boots, more accurate than David Beckham they say, could land the ball on a sixpence, full of stories, he has had his health problems but is living life to the max, a proper U S citizen now days but loves his Derby !

He was awesome, funny, honest and very genuine, I still keep in regular contact with him and he rings me up for a bit of advice every now and again, you can imagine the stories that he has to tell about football and footballers, an amazing man who love Derby County but felt bitter to how he was treated as a manager. a really down to earth man, proper Dcfc hero ! I couldn't believe it when Andy Todds son played in my lads team a few years back and Colin came to watch. It was like Royalty was there. loweman2, 1967Ram, uttoxram75 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 @loweman2, I have given nearly every single one of your posts a like. I am getting sick of you now. Has everyone seen his bloody likes to posts ratio? Have you ever thought of collecting Forest memorabilia? 1967Ram, loweman2 and uttoxram75 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just great to know that there is at least one person out there who shares the passion for the old days, yes it may be called living in the past by some but without that past our club would be nothing, those old lads as they are now put us on the World footballing map along with their gaffer ! thanks for the supportive words as always @richinspain ? pits a fine line between keeping the dream alive and being an obsessive anorak type ! the great thing is that I have built a good relationship with most of the players (except Willie Carlin ?? @Boycie) and they have all been great. its a journey that I set out on for my dad but it has bought me immense pleasure and my lad will have a fantastic set of pictures of his days spent with the real Derby County heroes long after we have all left this place ! As for the Forest stuff !! They can keep it ! Living in the past !! ?? up the Raaaams Boycie, richinspain, Dordogne-Ram and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 This is the one that started, when I found out that it didn’t matter how big a name they were they are all just normal guys, even this man, invited me and my old man into his home, and made us laugh, also had a very serious side to him. he was the one that got the whole thing going, put a team together and took on the footballing world, outspoken, a maverick but a great footballing brain, a genius, his like will never be seen again in football. we were lucky enough to have him as our manager and to many he is still the face of Derby County as synonymous with the club as the snorting Ram or the BBG ! the one and only Mr Clough !

uttoxram75 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 @loweman2 truly inspirational mate. I think us of a certain vintage have a respect for those players and your posts telling us of their kindness and hospitality to you and your Dad cements that fondness. Brilliant posting sir and I'm intrigued about your future revelations you've hinted at!

Fair call and widely reported as Clough's last signing towards the end of September 1973 but Clough did sign one other on 1st October 1973, although didn't go on to make any 1st team appearances.
