RamNut Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Duncan mckenzie as soon as brian clough heard that dave mackay wanted mckenzie for derby, he nipped in and signed him for leeds. duncan mckenzie and charlie george up front could have been mind blowing.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 McKenzie had rediculous ball control. Possibly the best I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Dastard Lee Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Jeff Powell's biography of Bobby Moore tells the story of Brian Clough approaching Bobby in the summer of 1973, Moore wanted to sign for Derby and although Clough got his verbal agreement Ron Greenwood and West Ham denied him the move. Apparently Derby bid £400,000 for a joint Bobby Moore and Trevor Booking deal. SILVERFOXTHERAMSFAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Jamaal Lascelles and Ben Osborn; both went to West Park School in Spondon. How on earth did they slip through the net and end up at Forest. Whoever made that decision wants shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Smiths autobiograph said we was him for him and Baggio - OTT wage demands made us walk away from the deal. Yes Jim made some joke about checking that he still had the rings on his fingers after he shock his hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ram Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Remember us being linked to two players from South American clubs when we got promoted to the prem last time round. One played for River Plate and the other Uruguay's Nacional... Think they were called Falcao and Godin or something like that, wonder what ever happened to them?

Bob The Badger Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 13 hours ago, Gee SCREAMER !! said: There were certainly discussions back in 88/89 for Cruyff to come in as manager. I believe that summer we also made moves to bring in Wise and Townsend as well as Houghton . Wise was definitely on their radar, but I honestly can't remember about Townsend. And this was way before the managerial rumblings, I'm going back to late 70's, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Troy Deeney. I don't know how serious the link ever was but i remember reading about our interest in him (while Watford were still in the Championship) and I thought he would be the man to get us up. Sadly he was the man to get Watford up. Coneheadjohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We were linked with a £3.5m move for Glenn Murray four years ago.

The Key Club King Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Ferrie Bodde was a great near miss from our perspective. Sadly got injured soon after our interest ended and retired early. Coneheadjohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Old thread, but I just saw a letter signed by General Secretary Stuart Webb and dated March 1979, how Derby County Football Club Limited was interested of arranging trial with Finnish footballing legend Atik Ismail. As those days were before my time, I've only heard how darn good he was. Unfortunately from Derby's part, he spoke only two words of English (yes and no) and decided against the move to England. Here's his short English wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atik_Ismail and only half decent video clip of his winning goal against Liverpool 1982. That Pool team was quite impressive at the time wtih Rush, Dalglish, Souness & co: x Carl Sagan and Mucker1884 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
