Rev Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I really enjoy these RamsTV meets when it's a player from before my time. It's great to have a link to the past beyond simple words on a page, and really is well appreciated, by me at least. Keep em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an essential part of that early team. He wasn't the best player simply because there were so many great players but he was a Ram alright. great to hear him talk about the three players who were my early favourites - les green, dave mackay and willie carlin. We never quite replaced them. It wasn't possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Went to school with one of his relatives (nephew I think?) - and this was at the height of his Red Dog era, so this lad would turn up to football training in a Forest kit every week. Needless to say, we meted out the appropriate treatment to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No interest in this one . You'll miss an interesting interview with someone who obviously has a lot of fond memories of his time at the club. Yes, he probably is a "red" now more than black and white, but that doesn't mean that his contribution to our club should be ignored. I'm looking forward to the second part, even if it probably is talking about the wonder years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Quote Speaking to the Derby Telegraph he said: “There’s some important memorabilia there. People ask me why I’m selling them and I say listen ‘I don’t owe the bookmakers any money, I own my own house, I own my own car' – there’s no desperate reason to sell them but just hoping to have a bit more money when it gets closer to Christmas. “It was a great honour to play for Derby and win the medals. It’s just come to a time when I’ve moved from living in Sheffield for 20 years to moving to an apartment in Nottingham and the medals I don’t have on display anyway and I thought selling them would give me a few more quid at Christmas to do some shopping.” To be fair he’s 68, as he says doesn’t have them on display, why not sell them on, put a few quid in the bank to splash out on Christmas with his family and allow a collector the chance to own some memorabilia from the club they love. Win/win. Don’t see a problem myself. He was an employee of the club, as he was Forest. He’s not come out and said anything bad about us, in fact says it was an honour to play for us. Might sell his Forest medals in a couple of years, take his family away to Skeggy or somewhere. Can’t take them with you when you’re gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many ex players become true fans of their old clubs? I mean to an extent where they watch them over any other club. We've got Roy Mac. Mark Edworthy is still around but in very similar circumstances to McGovern (club ambassador etc) as is Johnson. Charlie George loves Derby County but he is and always will be a Gunner first. Watch the interview, you may just enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superzak Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Charlie George came to Derby at the tail end of his career. it would seem very odd if he came out and said hed kept his Derby medal but sold his Arsenal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGovern had far more success at Forest, and probably spent more time there. Certainly his best years (peak of his career) were spent there.
