He was a decent player for us in one of the most exciting teams in the clubs recent history. Burton was in the Rest of the World XI, sharing a dressing room with the likes of Brazils Ronaldo and Argentine Gabriel Batistuta. How many Rams players have that on their CV?

RamNut Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Didn’t like him. not helped by him giving Derby fans the finger gesture away at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 lived next door to a mate of mine . He used to go out with Scary Spices sister, who may have been an actress . Quite a nice bloke apparently, but his car stereo was a pain in the arse. I can remember him going on a little run of games perhaps starting away at Sheff Wed , where he scored crackers for a few games , other than that squad player really.

Ramos Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I remember him coming back from injury to play a couple of times after we had been relegated and everyone thought he was the second coming after scoring I believe a good goal against Sheffield United... then we sold him just cause we are Derby. i do also remember him taking one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen against Ipswich in that relegation season. If you mention the name Deon Burton to my dad he still says ‘why didn’t he just bloody smash it in’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTSIDER Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 thought he was good player, didnt he have a stint on radio Derby commentating on games and got alot of stick for being honest and negative of the team?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roots Manuva Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I liked him though he could be frustrating at times. more than able back up for the likes of Wanchope & Sturridge at the time...remember him tearing Bolton to shreds at PP at the back end of the 97/98 season, what a years that was <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be thinking of Deano. Sturridge did the commentary during our ill fated 11 points season. He immediately noticed how crap the team were and said so, repeatedly. He got a lot of unfair criticism for being miserable. What the hell was he meant to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottig Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Finished his career at my local club, Worcester City (see my profile photo), and helped us reach the first round of the FA Cup for a second year running in 2015. A class player. I was there to applaud him off the pitch on his last game. Many years before as a kid I saw him play for Derby in a pre-season friendly against Real Mallorca too, I believe.

swanny Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 remember him as being a frustrating player. always felt he was about to do great things, but never seemed to consistently do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Apart from a few crackers, most of his goals were scuffs, miss-hits and in-offs, almost as though he was trying his best to miss but wasn't good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
