Miggins Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Born in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, now living in beautiful Belper in Derbyshire. Nearest team growing up was Burton Albion - I'm pleased that they are doing well. Started supporting Derby whilst I was at school in the 1970's because they were local . My Uncle took me to matches at the BBG. They have been my team ever since. Edited January 2, 2022 by Miggins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Devon Exeter City Lived in Burton, and my Dad went to the BBG via the Anglesey Arms. He still talks about John Royle and the legendary Harold Johnson, who could down a pint in 3 seconds. Went to my first game in October 1971 v Arsenal, won 2-1 with Steve Powell making his professional debut. Gladys was my favourite player.

thelovebelow Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Somerset Bristol City. Born and raised in Derby. Listening to Graham Richards on Radio Derby one time when I was a kid, thinking Derby had just won the World Cup or something. I think we'd just beaten Port Vale. Hooked me right in. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
