PhilGeeWasMyIdol Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 As a new member and long time voyeur who belatedly decided to get with it, I thought I'd pose the question. Partly in a way of introducing myself. Phil Gee and Bobby D were our forwards when my old man started to take me to the BBG. For a couple of seasons or more they were on fire. I can't be sure how many they got between them but it seemed like close to 40 a season. One of my early memories was Gee scoring at Brammall Lane to secure a win and put us on the verge of promotion. Maybe though the most talented combo was Saunders and Goddard. A mate said only the other day the goal at old Trafford was one of our best. I enjoyed the Kitson, Gabbiadini and Super Tommy Johnson attack. Felt a bit like it never quite lived up to what it could of been though. In more recent times (for me anyway) Biaino and Wanchope, and last season's 3 up top when Wilson, Marriott and Lawrence were rocking was going some. So who is it then, which forward line for you? A two or a three? Or a one man Chrissy Martin in his pomp? And hello by the way, from what I've seen you lot are a decent bunch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irobinson Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 George and Lee Hector and Ohare Goddard and Saunders think they were the best combos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Baiano, Wanchope and Sturridge Martin, Ward and Russell (backed up by Dawkins and Bamford). Rasiak, Smith and Tudgay (backed up by Bisgaard and Rwich) Howard, Barnes and Stead (Lupoli) Hulse and Commons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me 2 I enjoyed watching Gabbiadini as well but he never had the partnership factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm going to stretch a point, but McMinn, Saunders, Goddard and Micklewhite as an attacking threat were beautiful to watch. Studge, Wanchope and Baiano were amazing too though. Couldn't choose between my two favourite teams ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Swindles and Biley were a fun watch, Hector and O'Hare probably the best, Goddard and Saunders. Recent times, none really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burley's team will always have a place in heart fof being the first really good Derby side I had the pleasure of cheering on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilGeeWasMyIdol Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 No mention for Phil Gee then? He did a decent job on my dad's kitchen not far back, by all accounts. Proper centre forward was Phil, and with Bobby alongside... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Depends if you mean live at a game or include watching it on the tv? As an oldun, as a kid I saw the Championship winning team on tv, but live my first game was our 6-2 away win at Ipswich last game of the season in 1976. Frannie Lee's last game. Charlie George was injured so it was Hector and Lee up top. More recently I loved the Saunders/Goddard combo..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddards chip against Everton was class Saunders was surprisingly good in the air for his height and Goddards guile made him a perfect foil for Saunders pace. One of our worst pieces of business was selling Goddard imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my point it was live at a game, but I don't suppose watching on TV at the time makes much difference. I would love to say Hector, as my dad does, but not being born can't really count can it. Actually changed my mind, Steve Bloomer in 1894 was legendary . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Tough call between Goddard/Saunders or Baiano/Wanchope, both partnerships terrorised the best defenders at the highest level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Although the best is probably Duncan. Doherty stamps. Carter. Crooks very much doubt that there is anyone left to tell us about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
