That's a very well worked-through solution @loweman2. Grassroots nurturing such as the work that Reg did is the reason why Derby is such a footballing city - and it's not of course just about football. We have seen over the last 2 years what football does as a vehicle for binding the community, giving identity to local people, helping local people through hardship and economic difficulty in a way that our so-called elected national politicians materially fail to do on a regular basis. To quote Shankly, "Some people think football is a matter of life & death - I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” loweman2 and Reggie Greenwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to all at Rams Heritage Trust. I heard about it on radio Derby this morning. The plinth is made from bricks from the Baseball Ground. His family are thrilled to bits with this tribute and it's true likeness to the great man. Well done to all who made it happen. Looking forward to seeing it! loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think the bricks might be from the old Baseball ground, I’m not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
