Geriatram Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 This is the latest match on Rams tv, and what a match it was,we won 5- 0. But it was also the day I did one of the most embarrassing and shameful things in my time as a Rams fan. I was waiting at a bus stop on Harvey road for a bus to take me to the Osmaston Park hotel for a pre match pint,the traffic was bumper to bumper,I could see this deluxe coach coming slowly towards me and realized it was the Arsenal team coach. Not being an Arsenal fan I put on the best scowl I could, Bob Wilson smiled at me as he went slowly by, only for the traffic to stop,leaving me eyeball to eyeball with the player I disliked the most in all of football Charlie George. So I did what any self respecting Derby fan would do, I gave him the V sign and mouthed the words F--- off,but the thing is I didn't swear normally I still don't.Charlie looked at me as if to say what a plonker,fortunately the coach started to move and my bus was behind it. I immediately regretted what I did and have regretted it ever since. As you might guess Charlie became one of my all time favorite players perhaps second only to Kevin. To this day I still cringe when I think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I think it was a year or two earlier....Todd’s debut? Or was he sat on the bench next to cloughie I can’t remember......our car pulled up alongside the Arsenal coach as they were leaving. Bob Wilson had been kicked in the head during the game and was holding his head in pain. Charlie was sat behind him eating the biggest footing bag of crisps I’ve ever seen. He became one of my favourite ever players too. he got injured too young. I have begun to to think that that crap pitch injured a lot of players. nish, McFarland, Hennessy, Carlin, george, Powell, and newton to name but a few.

Wasn't Roy injured playing for England @RamNut? And Charlie's injury was all about Dennis Smith and nothing to do with the BBG pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tups Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 How good was Gladys in that period. Pinpoint and the best left winger to play for Mr Clough ? And when is the Tottenham 8 - 2 going up. Will have to get a bit of Popside crush barrier to stick in my midriff to play along with that one. My memory dims, but was Bob Wilson not from Chesterfield ? Just saying ?

Charlie did his knee at Anfield but I just think our pitch took a heavy toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Was this the game Bob Wilson had to change his shorts on the pitch ? I was in the boys pen and I seem to remember much hilarity at him changing them. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably take the pot with that raise. Playing really well at that stage of game, would have fetched it back to 2-1 and that young Man Utd team were wobbling Took some getting over that, as Wembley finals back then were incredible affairs, and team went on a downward spiral for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
