Sparkle Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Strange bit i know but my mum was born and lived very near Bramell lane Sheffield but one night the Germans came along and blew up her house so she was evacuated to the outskirts of Derby as her mum had died and her Dad was in the RAF in Canada. During our recent lockdown we actually managed to find her mums grave in Sheffield (quite an achievement) and took her there and we also went to the spot where she lived and you can guess what’s built there - A Mc Donald’s drive through ?

I know she had a tricky start, but has everything settled down now? Apologies if I've mixed you up with another poster, in advance. She’s absolutely fantastic thank you ? she’s the middle one though haha. She’s two next month and *touch wood* hasn’t had any issues for over 6 months. looking at her you wouldn’t have known anything was wrong. Thank you for asking ?.

BatRam Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 When i was a kid the only team i supported was England cause i like David beckham , lampard, terry and co. So i liked watching Man utd. Fell out of love with watching football apart from international and playing it. And then i started supporting Derby around the time we had Kris Commons and Robbie savage. So all iv known is the championship ? I've always liked watching spurs aswell. When it was Rednapp managing Defoe , crouch , kranjar , bale , lennon , modric.

Eric the half a ram Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Granddad's team, Derby on dads side, mum's side he preferred cricket but if pushed Wolves Dad's team, Derby. Mum's team, Wolves because her dad did (my brother supports them too!) School, late 70s early 80s so Brighton or Pompey due to location and Liverpool due to glory hunting! Local team, Bognor Regis Fc. Kids club, I'm trying to push Derby, but she is more into dance and drama ??. CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich84 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Paternal Grandad - Derby, never went much apparently but my Dad and his Bro used to from a young age. My Gran was a massive Liverpool fan after moving to Derby from up there as a young adult for work. Dad - Derby Mum - never interested as her parents weren't either Primary school (Draycott) - remember in mid 70's we had playground fights, Derby v everyone else (nothing changed there....), 50:50, but everyone else included Forest, Leeds, Liverpool, Manure etc etc Local team - in South Derbyshire now so Burton Albion Kids team - eldest son ST holder, daughter was ST holder with me until she left for Uni, youngest not into any sport (doesn't deal well with crowds) but I drag him along a couple times a season Edited May 13, 2022 by Rich84 Clarify CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadAmster Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) - Grandad’s Team one was Derby, the other died long before I was born so I don't know - Dad’s Team Derby - Mum’s Team Derby - Everyone at your school's Team Derby Chelsea MU MC Liverpool Everton WBA Spurs Wolves Leicester....... etc - Your local Team now My team is still derby but my closest professional team is Ajax - Your kids Team(s) both born 15 miles from the Johan Cruijff ArenA so, obviously, they support Derby.
