It was almost as if, despite the fact he was the totally opposite type of centre-half to what we needed, that he was too cheap to turn down.

Brammie Steve Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was surprised when Washed out has-been Francis Lee was signed! Hugely unpopular and would never reach his full potential Charlie George joined Derby. Brian Clough bought the unknown Archie Gemmill from Preston. Derek Hales was signed as a totally unproven goal-scorer at top level. One out of four is not too bad. I know my football!* It's in the garage and I've not pumped it up in years!?

I was at the Preston FA Cup game where everybody came away buzzing about how good Gemmill was in running the midfield against us. I was only a nipper at the time, but most people I knew were excited about that signing. I was pumped with Hales joining us but I *think* the only game he shone in was a League Cup game against Blackpool if I'm not mistaken. One of those classic lower division players who shone at that level, but couldn't quite make the step up to the top level a bit like Phil Gee, and it pains me to say it because I loved the guy, but Bobby Davison too.

Carl Sagan Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 My dad convinced me against my better judgment that Derek Hales was going to be good. Normally I think I'm right about transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I believed Don Masson was going to be as good as Archie. I believe I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Ram Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 A good friend of mine called me when we signed Nick Blackman to say he had seen a lot of him and we had just pulled of a major coup adding he was the best striker in the division . DOH !! . I still quote him to make him cringe if i bump into him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Kaźmierczak. 26 year old, Polish international, looked superb on this new website called YouTube. Let’s go get him! I echoed our scouting report on him. He couldn’t polish Robbie Savages boots in the end ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played one season for us . 1977/78 which was also Rioch's unfortunate second spell with us. Can't believe they both started Scotland's first game in the World Cup v Peru as they had both had a poor season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all available to play together in 1978, but never all appeared together at the same time according to my trusty 'Derby County - The Complete Record' So I was wrong. I think in hindsight, I was just excited about the idea rather than the results or achieved. A bit like sex with me from 1981 onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
