eccles the ram Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 First job was in an Insurance company. Roger Davies had scored a hatrick in the cup at Tottenham and he came into the office with his beaming smile! Sandra, got to the counter before me, asked what he wanted and then asked his name! The smile vanished. Stupid woman confirmed she knows nothing about football. Must be supporting them down the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I went to primary school with Gary Micklewhite’s daughter and had a few play dates around their house. Mart Poom’s kid also shared the same birthday as my sister and we ended up having birthday celebrations in the same restaurant at the same time for them on a couple of occasions. I refused Huddlestone service at a bar I worked at when he was 17. He didn’t like that. I’m sure I’ll think of more in time. Derby is a small place really.

Jourdan Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I would often see Marc Edworthy and Mark Stallard doing the school run years ago. Edworthy’s kids went to school near our family home and Stallard’s kids went to the same school as my sister. So if I was picking up my sister from school or going to the supermarket, we would often bump into each other. Eddy would always stop and wave or say hello. He always came across as a really friendly, down-to-earth, and approachable guy. Oh, and Deon Burton could have been my uncle. Apparently he tried to chat up my auntie many moons ago, but she turned him down. Lucky escape for Deon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Rambe33 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Saw Baiano and Stefano Eranio in Markeaton McDonalds with their family back in the day. I was 9, caked in mud after playing that morning and I kept trying to hug them but they kept fending me away. Reminiscent of the scene in Slumdog Millionaire trying to get an autograph: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin_Ram Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Many moons ago, my cousin and I used to watch Derbyshire cricket at the Racecourse. There was a gap in the fence that we could get through. I went on my own one time. I was having a knockabout with two young lads, about my age. Eventually their dad called for them to go. It was Brian Clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he booked in deliveries. Never had a conversation with him. He was very quiet and also really massive. Was once talking with a former player who changed next to Roger at a charity match, and he confirmed Roger is massive everywhere! Nudge nudge, wink wink. ?

Not personally, but I could tell you a few stories some comical, some rather sordid regarding the above . When your dealing with young blokes with a lot of money and an ego, it's amazing how many can turn into dicks in a matter of weeks. Some still remain sound enough and quite a laugh. Money doesn't change people but it will enhance the general characteristics they already have in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I stepped on Lee Carsleys foot in Berlins when he had just got back into training following a foot injury. He looked like it hurt a fair bit. Also had an inebriated Christian Dailly thrown at me by the bouncers when I walked past Brannigans one night Good job I was there to break his fall.

roboto Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 21 minutes ago, DarkFruitsRam7 said: Do tell us more. Haha. That's pretty much it. He was out with some friends, who must've been around the same age. He was drinking down Sadlergate and came to the bar I was working at. He was annoyed that I wouldn't serve him, because I knew exactly how old he was, and he did a bit of a "don't you know who I am?" rant. Which led to me letting him know exactly who he was and that's why I couldn't serve him. He soon left and carried on drinking at other places down the road. Not that interesting really ?
