sawley_ram Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Just stumbled across the whole game on YouTube, not sure how many else have found it on there but it was a great watch. I only found clicked on it as it was the game played closest to the day I was born. What struck me while watching it were the comments from the late, great Brian Clough. During pre-match he talks about how being at Derby were the happiest days of his managerial career, and after the game he talked about sitting with the Spurs fans and that they had enjoyed a great game of football "despite the fact that I'm a Derby man" -- all said why manager of Forest..! Also quite topical as Maxwell had at the time turned down a bid of £3 million for us (only about £6.5 mil today). I'm sure a few have seen this, but now the nights are drawing in and Strictly's back on the box it's a good getaway game.

Ramrob Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Thanks for sharing @sawley_ramI’ve got the programme for this match up in the loft. Could you imagine your ex-manager and current manager of your fiercest rivals, saying what Cloughie did, in this day and age?! sawley_ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 In fairness, that could easily be interpreted as "... despite me being a man who lives in Derby", but hey, if it winds that lot up, he is, was, and always will be "A Derby man"! ? 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 What we'd do for a striker like Dean Saunders now....... his partnership with Goddard was the best I've ever seen at DCFC and although Harford was a good tough old CF he never replaced Goddard for me JJs dms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Also what good signings Gary Micklewhite and Geraint Williams were and we didn't overpay from QPR and Bristol Rovers respectively unless I'm mistaken. Premier ram and JJs dms 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember figures of around £70k for Micklewhite and £45k for George - paid for by the fee we received for Kevin Wilson. Those were the days eh?

OoooMarkWright Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I loved that era, some very happy memories, but the standard of football at times is terrible. The back pass rule was certainly a massive rule change for the better, it’s improved the quality of football hugely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Still don't get how that team got relegated. Shilton, Wright and Saunders. Plus Harford, George Williams and Micklewhite. Maybe the defence was a bit shaky Wright needed a partner and Harford was often injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold Goddard and Callaghan, never really found a good enough partner for Wright, Shilton was losing his agility and the players coming through the youth team were either a couple of years short of experience (Paul Williams) or not quite good enough.
