Cripes.  I've only seen two play live on that list and I'm 47 ?

I am 49 and have seen two I  saw Hector as I was taken to a game for my 7th Birthday and Martin obviously much later.

From 1977 to 1995 I was either too young to take myself, too poor to afford or in fact playing myself so I therefor totally missed Bobby Davison

I have only just realised this and have quite upset myself lol

He's one of my favourite ever Derby players, but I don't think he's a legend.

I know this debate happens all the time, but I think legends are the ones who have brought proper silverware to the club. So in that sense, I don't think we've had a 'legend' since the 1970s.

For me, the next step below that are 'icons'. Plenty fall into that category.

How do you know he hasn’t brought a knife and fork to the club to eat his dinner?

[DCFC1388]

He was written off when he cane in on loan as not being good enough, problem was football brain wise he was levels above the players at the time until some got on his wavelength like Bryson & Hughes. 

Glad after the years away he has come back & scored some more goals for us, even if he ends up leaving this summer he has been a brilliant signing & one of the best forwards we have had for a long time.

Will always remember him for scoring a goal during a special minutes applause for someone close to me, never cried at football until that day!

Didn't realise that Simmo had so many.

Ramage too, didn't realise he was so old either.

On the bright side, being 47, you are (only just) old enough to get away with using the word "Cripes", without getting ridiculed.  Any younger, and boy would I have given you stick!

And people still say he is overated. Special player. 

I really like CM9 as a footballer; but when you speak to him what always comes across is his intelligence and his emotional intelligence. I hope he sticks around at Derby and does his coaching badges; he’s got real leadership potential.

I second this. Puts the 'erm like you say' players to shame. What a breath of fresh air to hear an eloquent way of speaking and also, having conviction in what he is saying, when then translates on the pitch. 

[Burton_Ram]

Interesting to see he’s the only guy in there from the last 20 odd yrs. shows we have not had too many prolific & long serving strikers for some time.

It would be smashing if you could share some of the conversations you have enjoyed with Chris, in particular giving us further insight as to his emotional intelligence.

Gabbiadini has been the closest to breaking it in that time, think he was about 4 or 5 short. 

Bobby Davison broke the 70 mark in his first spell with us, but technically speaking he was still adding to his tally in the 1990s.

Seen 6 King Kev , John O’Hare , Durban , Hinton , Bobby D and CM9 

Yes me too. I was so lucky and privileged to see them play and I treasure memories of the B Clough days. Great to see Chris has made it into the list. He is loyal to the club - a very rare thing these days. So pleased he's playing and scoring again.

I would if I could @i-Ram but discretion forbids it. However, CM9 always floats above what could be described as the jaundiced view and always takes the attitude that is constructive rather than divisive. This may sound like coded Horlicks but I would say that he has demonstrated real leadership over events that were dividing the dressing-room this season.

You don’t look old enough. ?

You are a gentleman Sir. I was 14 at the time - 40 years ago. It was 1980. Jack was an absolute hero of mine but not in great health. For a Derby legend his living circumstances were not that salubrious. I wish I’d have had the temerity to talk about his career more than I did. 

[ImARam2]

From that list I've actually watched 15 of those players, 'live',  at the BBG or PP, not just on the television.

Some fantastic times, as well as goals, over the years, supporting The Rams.

I'm now in my 58th year as a supporter - as the first time I stepped into the BBG was in January 1962, aged 9 years old.
