cannable Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Good piece here on his fractured skull. Can’t believe it was ten years ago. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/found-skull-more-bits-thought-5245500.amp?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Very talented footballer, but sadly made of glass. Where have we heard that before? Was an interesting piece. I hadn't realized the injury was quite so bad. Brave to carry on playing. Kudos to physio Neil Sullivan on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I did start putting a ‘ruined by injuries’ Derby XI together in my head. So far I have; Martin Taylor, Miles Addison, Dean Yeats, Giles Barnes, George Thorne and Steve Davies.

So far I have; Martin Taylor, Miles Addison, Dean Yeats, Giles Barnes, George Thorne and Steve Davies. Would have to be managed by Brian Clough. You can add in Sean Barker, Branko Strupar and, probably, Lee Morris. I'm going to add in there - being very gracious - Gary Teale. He had a really bad injury before he came to us and it did seem to be the deep rooted psychological reason why he ran a mile in the other direction when a bit of defending was called for. I can think of a defender, as well, if injuries includes playing without your orthapaedic insoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Honestly don’t even remember this happening. Seem to remember 11 year old me having Steve Davies as my favourite player though. Maybe I blanked what happened out my memory ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember we has Mo Konjic here as well for two years who never seemed to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 He was a good player Steve Davies and at times very good. But I seem to remember that he left in slightly odd circumstances - something about personal reasons that never got fully explained (and which isn't covered in the article). Maybe he just needed a fresh start after all the injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him bagging that penalty at the City Ground in my first ever Forest away game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I’ve always felt sportstars switching sports is a recipe for disaster. Didn’t work for Micheal Jordan, it was never going to work for Steve Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
