Our Derby County Collection - Luke & Keith Boden

Basically my girlfriend wrote a letter to Derby County saying how Peter Shilton was my hero and I'd rather watch Derby County than be with her (true) and could I have Peters goalkeeping jersey. In the Forest programme letters page this was printed (aaaargh) and a reply "Peter has kindly agreed to give you one of his jerseys" In typical Derby style the trouble now began. Grantham journal was in touch with my girlfriend saying she and I was going to meet Peter and get my shirt (aaaaaaaaaargh). Then she gets a letter saying "you must appreciate Peter gets a lot of these requests so we're sending you a signed photo instead. (baalocks) After telling my Mum all this (lifelong Derby fan) she wasn't best pleased. First a letter was sent to Arthur Cox (no joy) then Stuart Webb (no joy) then Robert Maxwell. Sure enough a letter from Mirror group newspapers arrives apologising and "your jerseys in the post" I still have the letters she received from Derby and Mirror group somewhere.
