He got treated badly and kept running away and said he always ended up in Derby before he got caught and taken back to the orphanage..... He told me this when I was about 6 years old and I decided to be a Derby fan cos that was where my dad was happiest when growing up ..... Imagine if he has lived chesterfield ...I would have been double f***** Nowt up with Th 'Town' Used to alternate with Derby and Spirites, have seen the great Arthur manage both ( best team Chesterfield ever had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdave85 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Born in Derby, dad supporter Derby. Took me to games and that was that. I used to carry a milk crate to the BBG so I could see over the advertising boards. I cried when we sold Tommy Johnson (I was too young to understand transfers and he was my favourite player). It has to be Derby, somewhere else would have gotten it wrong. Ramrob, IslandExile, Kathcairns and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnram Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Instead of family members, they should maybe have photos of players they should be passing to instead of lumping it forwards Mucker1884 and hintonsboots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Born in Derby. My family aren't really into football. Watched the 18/19 play-off semi where we lost to Fulham under Rowett. Started following the team and club, made me feel like keeping a foot back in with my Derby roots now I live in the North West. Had an incredible time watching the 18/19 season under Lampard. Was at Elland Road for the 2nd leg of the play-off semi - what a moment. Then went to Wembley, with a broken foot in a boot ?, and the result soon shadowed the pain from my broken foot. It's been a ride even for the short time that I've been a fan. My husband in a Burnley fan and that's where we live. Frustrating that we both got demoted so won't have the chance to play each other in the league. Mucker1884 and Premier ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
