B4ev6is Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I think rooney desevse it and he stuck by us when many would have not just that he paid for shirts training stuff and coach to games and paying hotels for long away games out of his own pocket and he did not have to do that. ck- and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Freeman of the City of Derby rights according to #youllnevertakethepopside.com Right to drive livestock through to market. Right to sell your wares in the market place. Right to travel toll-free through the city. Right to shout abuse at reddogs, in or out of the city boundary. Right to moan like buggery that the Ossie Park pub is now a feckin carpet shop. Right to admit that its probably a good thing that the Mitre has been demolished. Right to get pished at the early evening session in the Neptune. Kathcairns and Dordogne-Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24Charlie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Can we read between the lines with the freedom thing. The council have voted to bestow him the honour. They would look a right bunch of muppets if he left now. Does this mean the council as one of the team Derby stateholders know that the stadium deal is done and CK is definitely the man?

I think this is a bit of a stretch. Nice try though. ? rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Reg Harrison - Derby born and bred. Served as an Army Training Officer in WW2, FA Cup winner with Derby. Helped establish grassroots football clubs within the city, which (theoretically!) still provides us with future stars to this day. Brian Clough. Middlesbrough born, legendary football manager who brought Derby County their first ever league title, one of only two, also took them to a European semi-final. His legacy still hangs positively over the club to this day. Lived locally(?) in later life and passed away at Derby City Hospital. Adam Peaty - World record breaking Olympic gold medalist. 'Semi-local', born in Uttoxeter, trained in Derby throughout his teenage years. Wayne Rooney - Liverpool born, only stepped foot in Derby about 4 times in his life until he'd reached the age of 33. England's leading goalscorer. Did his level best to avoid Derby being relegated to the 3rd tier, ultimately didn't manage it but did help bring a sense of pride back to the club after a torrid few years. Didn't leave his job as reportedly the Championships highest paid manager to go and interview for a job he wasn't going to be given elsewhere.

He's credited with that almost by default of being the manager but it could have been anyone, really. Maybe not just anyone would have performed with the same level of dignity, but that in itself really isn't worth all of the flowery talk that makes it sound on a par with some truly great achievements. I added a little bit of that in nevertheless. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I love Wayne Rooney for everything he's done for the club. But all this statute and freedom of the city nonsense is absolutely ridiculous. nickmi16, jimtastic56, angieram and 5 others 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
