Kinder Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Fell in love with CKR, really helped to hold things together during very difficult times. And what a parting message, pure class.

Millenniumram Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 No surprise after signing Barkuizen, McGoldrick and Collins - we’re sorted up front now without him. It’s a shame we couldn’t afford to keep him though, because he’s such a brilliant character, and his physical “bullying” style would have suited League One perfectly. Even at his age, he’d still be a brilliant asset to have at that level. Ultimately a signing that will probably be remembered as a real sign of desperation at first, but then a shining light through the clubs darkest days. Good luck Colin. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Ram Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Great heartfelt message all the best Colin thank you and good luck. Here is a game for people guess the country he ends up in next. I will start the ball rolling. USA Edited July 18, 2022 by Electric Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Not often I’ve had a player name on the back of my shirt, only other time was Rob Hulse when he signed and I was convinced we’d bounce back to the premier league at first time of asking. Kazim it was during lockdown, he was an inspiration in a dark time. He got that injury against Peterborough early season and I thought that was it I’d never watch him live in a Rams shirt but he bounced back and got to see him score against the Baggies at Christmas. He symbolised and epitomised last season, the fight to the end. When he was fit he led the charge. What a man!! Really sad he’s gone but he will forever be a cult hero and glad I have his name on my shirt to remember for years to come. So long King Kazim!! ?

Ellafella Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 CK-R made me eat my words from day #1. He exceeded expectations and we will never forget his contribution. A great footballer and a real leader. The way he tickled the Red Dog Defender after smashing home was pure and utter alpha genius.

therealhantsram Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Ouch! A bit of a slap in the face for Wayne and Liam though. No mention of them. Instead taking the plaudits for last season's performances himself and other players "we created that mentality between us players". Interesting comments.

Instead taking the plaudits for last season's performances himself "we created that mentality between us players". Interesting comments. I didn’t interpret it like that. He mentioned by name all the unsung heroes - so not a dig at Liam & Wayne but a man who wanted to laud the people other than the obvious ones.

That's a very odd take from the comments he made. He literally went out of his way to praise the people who don't ordinarily receive accolades, but are just as important. He was placing the praise for last seasons performance across the dressing room, not heaping it on his own shoulders.

Andicis Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 He was one of those players who just got it. Always tried his very best for the badge, and was a great leader when required.

YouRams Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Mistake letting him go imo he'd be a handful In league 1 even if it was off the bench. Ellafella and jono 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriggRam Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Could not believe some of the comments made towards him when he first joined, and he hadn't even kicked a ball for us.......proved alot of people wrong, and although he was only here for two seasons, had injuries and wasn't prolific.....he contributed much more and got into the hearts of us all.....I wish him all the best and he will long live in my memory.....King Colin....I salute you???

Millenniumram Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Just read his goodbye message in full. What a guy. Going out of his way to thank basically everyone at the club. He really is such a genuinely good guy and a top pro. The sort of footballer young players should aspire to emulate. The fact he was only at the club for a short period, and has had so many teams before, but took Derby County into his heart the way he did shows the type of man he is. Thank you Colin.

maydrakin Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 He’s a player that is very easy to root for. I’m pleased he got his chance and took it, becoming one of the team’s talismanic figures for the time too. I have enjoyed watching him play and wish him all the best in whatever he does next.
