Ramslad1992 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 As the title says, which player made you fall in love with Derby? the player you wanted to be when you grew up? The player that scored THAT goal you will always remember? I’ll go first, I was even happy(ish) when he scored against us, I had this shirt with his name on.

Kernow Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Poom for sure. He was the reason I decided to become a goalkeeper myself. I used to draw pictures of him after school and my mum would post them to DCFC. Got a couple printed in programmes in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up as a defender as I was quite frankly rubbish in goal. If I was thinking defender it would have to be this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Kevin Hector. Told the story before.... Won an essay competition at school "who would you most like to meet?" Early in 1971, I guess. My friend, who said Archie Gemmill, and I were invited to watch the players train at the BBG by Mr Clough himself. Great day. Shook Cloughie's hand, in his office, honestly didn't wash it for a week. Got loads of autographs, ironically missing out on Zak's. Did get it years later before a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Shilton and Wright because I was still at the age where I was completely awestruck that I was watching England internationals playing for Derby. Saunders too because he scored lots and lots of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 It was in my blood, before I was even born. Jackie Stamps was a friend of my grandad, Reg Harrison was a friend (and an army buddy) of my father, and both my mum and my granny were the lovely ladies in the kitchen at the Midland Hotel who let the players sneak out the back way (for 'team-building and maintenance of morale', probably in the Brunny) when they were supposed to be under strict curfew in the few days leading up to the '46 cup final. So I couldn't be anything else except a Ram. My first playing heroes though were Reg Matthews, Bobby Saxton and Eddie Thomas - and then The King arrived.

Curtains Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Geoff Barrowcliffe Amazing watching him at Baseball Ground from the kids pen . We used to run into Osmaston End when stewards weren’t watching . Geoff played at the back so could look up at him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslad1992 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 I absolutely love the age ranges here... some of us are 50 years apart but have the same passion, it’s great! Who’s going to make the new generation fall in love? Sibley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
