sonofmidnight Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 A really good hardworking midfielder and a pleasure to watch. I named my budgie Archie after him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 See, clips can be deceiving, but as somebody whose Dad wasn’t old enough to see his first spell, he looks the best player in those Derby teams. He looks the most modern as well. The one who’d be absolutely class even in today’s game. There’s McFarland and Todd too, but I guess highlights of centre-halves weren’t a thing 50 years ago so I have literally no first-hand opinion on them.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Random Archie Gemmill story... he delivered my grandparents' static caravan to their place in Wales in the late 80s! Instead of going straight back home, he spent a couple of hours having a brew and talking about the good old times. Great player and a great person. Happy Birthday Archie! ?

PendineRam Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Only good memories of Archie, what a player. How lucky we were, first we had the great Willie Carlin and then Archie! Just makes one smile broadly just thinking about them! Then you think of the current crew, sigh.........! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I recently told this story on a different thread but it's worth repeating here..... I remember hearing Cloughie when asked who was the best player he ever had saying: "Archie Gemmill thinks it's him but it wasn't. It was Roy McFarland. Archie - you're the second best".

Mucker1884 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Happy birthday Archie. One of the finest men I have ever had the honour of standing at an adjacent urinal to. (HT v Wolves on the Easter Monday, 2009... VIP doodah). No idea why they called him Wee Archie. He was actually bigger than I expected. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Getting rid of Archie was the worst bit of business the club ever did. And the competition for that title is pretty stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still one of my favourite BBG memories. His goal in Mendoza v Holland 1978 was right up there with the greatest ever seen. I don't recall ever being so excited sat watching a game on the TV, and I ain't no Scot. (In my defence though, I was 15, and it was my first WC experience, so all excitement was heightened!) *I won't bore people with yet another airing of the video. It's out there, people.
