BaaLocks Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 21 minutes ago, PodgeyRam said: Sounds like I'm a bit of a late starter based on some of the comments on here. My first Derby goal was Arturo Lupoli vs Wrexham in the cup. Well, that was my kid's first game so you are in good company - he got a hat-trick that day. As for me, as seems popular on this thread, it was John O'Hare though mine was in the 2-1 victory against Sheff Utd in Oct 1972. I'm actually surprised they scored at all given they appear to have not actually fielded a team. It was the Saturday after we beat Benfica 3-0....

mice_elf Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Keith Havenhand in a 1-1 draw against Rotherham at the BBG in March 1962 - I was 8 years old at the time :- https://www.11v11.com/matches/Derby-county-v-rotherham-united-03-march-1962-110920/ Starting lineup: Goalkeeper Reg Matthews Defender Mick Hopkinson Full back Geoff Barrowcliffe Centre half Les Moore Wing half Glyn Davies Outside right Don Roby Centre forward Bill Curry Forward Bob Stephenson Winger Ray Swallow I had to look up the goalscorer. It was a pretty ropey match - I couldn't believe how long, and how often, the ball seemed to be in the air! I believe it was Bob Stephenson's debut, memorable because he was Derbyshire's Wicketkeeper understudy to Bob Taylor. Ian Buxton was a regular player round those years, so we had two Cricketing footballers on the Books at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Blackburn 5-1 Derby, 1983 Derby scorer on the day was Bobby Campbell although I don't remember the goal or in fact Bobby himself. I do remember however that Simon Garner scored all 5 of Blackburns goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Ram for All Seasons Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Kevin Hector, the King himself! All I can remember about the game was the general buzz and atmosphere and the score. I was 8 years old and didn't know any of the players, although I'm sure I must have known about Kevin Hector by the time the final whistle was sounded, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Alan Durban v Spurs in 1973, which we won 5 - 0. Saw it from the Popside in the biggest ever Baseball Ground attendance! What a debut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I can't remember it so I has to look it up Franny Lee 4 Oct 1975 1-0 v Ipswich. Fantastic side playing but I am just too young to remember our greatest days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to look it up to see who scored but that was me first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poss '67? Without Google, I couldn't tell you the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got there so early - very excited - but was desperate to get up in the Ley Stand to see the pitch. We were first up there - and a journo from the Ram came over to talk to us. And took our photos - and created the story of ‘Ian (7) in the Ley Stand with the Lark.” it was published in the Ram - the next week. Not sure I still have the photo in the loft!! Be be great to go through the Ram archive!! Best day out for a seven year old think Booby Moore played that day - for WH - FL senior did. But for me - the start of being a Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised it was 89 looking it up, I thought it was earlier. What a game to go to if that was your first. An amazing match when Everton were really good, but so were we. Goddard and Saunders - the thinking man's strike partnership. On 22/11/2018 at 22:57, ScamRam said: Gerry Daly, followed by two from John Duncan in a 4-1 win against Forest. Not a bad way to start my love affair with the Rams! Nov 1979 Unfortunately we didn't win for ever after that match, something like 15 games, and we're relegated! But I remember it well and it would have been an incredible atmosphere in which to begin. Great thread from @BurtonRam7but although I was lucky enough to share a season ticket from when I was 4 or 5, it means I simply don't remember. And no one can tell me the first game I went to.

jimbo jones Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Francesco Baiano - in the 5-2 win at Hillsborough in 97. Had been to a couple of home game and not seen a Derby goal. What a first away game to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Dunno whether it is the first I saw but its the earliest I can remember. Kinkladze scored a freekick after Lee Morris had gone for the ball, their keeper was judged to have handled outside the area and sent off, the sub keepers first thing to do was to pick the ball out the net. EDIT: Just done some research - We beat Rotherham 3-0... Look at that starting line up... Warren Barton ffs John Gregory ahead of his time with the 433!

We were 3-1 down with 5 mins to go. Was with my uncle that day and we decided to leave early to miss the traffic (his decision not mine) and I missed two late goals to make it 3-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dordogne-Ram Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Notts County 0 v. Derby 1 12/9/1953 , Big Norman Neilson the scorer. Attendance : 23, 899 Ray Middleton (Justice of the Peace (JP), Bert Mozley (England international), Geoff Barrowcliffe (probrably Derby's best uncapped player), Albert Mayes (useful snooker player), Ken Oliver ("Rubberneck"), Colin Walker (graduated from DCFC offices to first team), Reg Harrison (still going strong I believe), Jimmy Dunn (born Edinburgh), Norman Neilson ( South African, better known as a centre half), Jack Lee (England international and played County Championship cricket for Leicestershire), Cecil Law (Rhodesian). Notts centre half Smith sent off, thumped someone in the crowd as he was going down the tunnel! Thanks @BurtonRam7 for creating this thread - lots of memories for all of us!

Mr Tibbs Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Deon Burton in a 4-3 loss to Newcastle at Pride Park, April 98/99. Cant remember it if I’m honest. I do remember thousands of Geordies making a racket and Nolberto Solano being an absolute wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
