MuespachRam Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Deon had a great first touch, always said that if Dean Sturridge had Deon Burtons first touch he would have been a world beater...unfortunately he had the first touch of a dry stone wall.

I seem to remember him being announced as "The Derby County player who has won most international caps whilst playing for the club" or something extremely similar? CBA to google it!

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Sat in the North Stand one day when he scored the first against Leicester in a 3-2 defeat (including the infamous Robbie Savage "swallow dive" for the winning pen). Handy player in his time, but went off the boil. Where did he go to after Derby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
