He never really got the chance to develop. It was sink or swim. I felt sorry for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun to watch as long as we were already winning. Who didn’t like Taribo West? I’m not sure about the legs description. West from my recollection was an absolute Grade A, top of the game centre half that nobody could believe came to Derby. He might have been past his peak but even the Derby version of Taribo would walk straight into most PL sides now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Written off before he’d kicked a ball. To be fair, I think he was a Bristol City player at the time! Still couldn't be less arsed though. In fact, it made me like him a little more. I like seeing players buy into the pantomime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird grew on people eventually but I was a fan from the start...fantastic delivery When you look at Ince’s stats for a wide player it’s unbelievable how so many fans disliked him or were indifferent to him. Statistically he’s right up there with our best players of the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The fact that Keogh had the 'always got a mistake in him tag' pissed me off a bit. I can barely remember him making any big mistakes from 2015/16 onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malty Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hang on. No, this is easy: it’s definitely simmo. I loved him. I managed to go to around two or three games a season in those days and I was lucky to pick the two or three games that he was unplayable. Beat a man, got to the byline, cross that anyone could stick in the net. Even scored his fair share of goals. He was fantastic .... except for the games he was not. The games he disappeared, looked disinterested: often because he got a big tackle in the first ten minutes and seemed scared from then onwards. I never forget going to Leicester later in his career and someone shouted “what the duck is simmo doing?”. Someone else replied “looks like he’s getting a sun tan”. Classic terrace humour. For me though, simmo was simply a superstar. One of my early days Derby heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Not a player but, I can’t let this pass by without saying King Billy of Davies. Absolute legend. i also used to only be able to see the good things in Claud Davies... I know. on the other side of the coin, players everyone loves who I could never understand why..... dean sturridge and Malcolm Christie probably head my list...but there are many.

Carl Sagan Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Paul Emson. Incredible pace which made him a terrific outlet. Yet most people hated having him in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you Davies for the 06-07 season He recovered it well at the end when I thought we were done going into the playoffs. Wasn't it something about promotion bonuses for those he brought in January causing issues ? But as for the rest. Oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right with the marmite. I always thought he was the weakest link in the 13-14 squad and would be replaced the following year as a first team starter- still here.
