He is as much of our history as Clough and Taylor but for the opposite reasons, the ying to their Yang yes we had an ageing team but he blew it to pieces and got it so spectacularly wrong in every way.

ziggyram59 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Great memories of the BBG but for me 2 matches stand out both European Cup ties against Benfica and Real Madrid what magical nights they were. When you thought Derby were going to be great forever and ever. loweman2, Kathcairns, Reggie Greenwood and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addingham Ram Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Some amazing memories Loweman2. That iconic picture of Bobby D wheeling away after scoring pretty much sums up my BBG memories. Perhaps my favourite BBG match, for so many reasons, was beating Palace to clinch promotion. Robbie Van der Laan you legend! I'm just interested. One of your comments suggested you were, like me, just too young to remember the glory years of the league titles (apologies if I'm mistaken), so what is your favourite BBG memory, and what's your favourite bit of memorabilia? loweman2, ziggyram59 and Wistaston Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree that picture of Bobby Davison has it all. Is there a colour version of it? would love a copy of it on my wall. loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bloor Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Great photos, great memories. Thanks loweman! Some memories of the Boys Enclosure, Normanton End, 9d entry, packed in like suffocating sardines: 1959 Cup 3rd Round Derby v. 1st Div Preston. 2-2, Jack Parry and George Darwin scored our goals. We were winning til Albert Mays conceded a daft penalty. The late great Tom Finney took their corners. In the Boys Enclosure, we were close enough to smell his embrocation. 61-62 season. Derby 2 Shankley's LIverpool 0. Bill Curry flicked the ball over his and Big Ron Yeats's shoulders, ran round him like he was a stone post and scored a stunning goal. Pitch invasion at the end. 62-63 season. Derby 2 Sunderland 2. Jack Parry scored with an incredibly brave header, diving through a forest of legs and swinging boots. At the Normanton end, right in front of us. NG2Ram, Kathcairns, loweman2 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one. Special days, like you say. We never saw the League winning teams, but we had those Arthur Cox years. I think that's why everyone loved the BBG. Different generations had different memories, each special to them. I have grown fond of Pride Park over the years, but only as much as its where we now call home. The South Stand can be amazing at times, but my spiritual home will always be the Popside, watching Booby D banging them in.

I sat in The Ley Stand with my neighbour who got me into watching Derby because I was only 11 in 1972/73 season, it was only as I got older 16 that I stood on The Pop Side.
