Oldham - first game of the season (I was Mascot - not playing for Oldham). We lost 2-0 - but went up that season. Anyone remember the year? How do you insert the photo?

Also the post doesn't add up as Derby were never promoted with Shilts, plus he never warmed up on the pitch pre-game as he preferred to stop in teh dressing room and concentrate on his handling. Only time we ever saw our players shooting at a keeper was the one time that a mascot went in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely inspiring work @loweman2 i have got quite a few posts on here about one thing or another, its a great collection of Derby shirts, derby signed photos, signed trading cards and memorobillia like unused 1946 cup final tickets, the ball used in the league cup replay v Chelsea in 1968, then night that the clough and taylor story started in earnest, Alan Durbans official club blazer from 1971/72, Ron Websters shirt from 1971/72, the flag off the B stand at the BBG, its just something that I have put together over the past thirty years or so and its grown and grown, thanks for asking !

Ramchester Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Honestly @loweman2 you are a bloody legend. How we've not got a DCFC museum with everything you have collected is ridiculous. I reckon you've educated more than any Derby school with your collection. I was infinitely lucky that my dad did alright refereeing as a young man. I have a Dynamo Moscow pendant flag from circa 1975 where ny dad was the linesman, but my proudest moment was my dad being the fourth official (before they were professionally appointed) the day we played Fulham 1983 and the infamous pitch invasion. I can watch YouTube and watch my dad that day.I sincerely hope DCFC do more to recognise our history and the AMAZING collection you've put together.

Only time we ever saw our players shooting at a keeper was the one time that a mascot went in goal. It was the second division at the time - promotion was earnt to division one. I am certain it was Shilton - but suppose it could have been Wallington? Old age is a terrible thing - gonna have to google it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igorwasking Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Oh my god - it was Wallington! How embarrassing! I’ve been telling that Shilton story for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igorwasking Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Oh - and it was 86/87 season. 23rd August to be precise. Just noticed Dennis Irwin was playing for Oldham - so I will change my story now to nutmegging him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea ram Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I just found 22 press photo's (mostly 10x8) from the 92-93 93-94 season, that I bought on ebay about 6 years ago. None signed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t have anything to do with them, even toddy and they worked together in management aswell ! I might try through Alan Durban as the head of the ex players.
