However, you look a bit over the top in all that Derby sports gear. Swansea Marriott? I dont remember him either, guess he was a golfer or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Dave Mackay after any home game in the bar at Derby dog track. Colin Todd on a flight from Copenhagen during an international break when he was Bolton gaffer. The whole Chelsea squad approx 1991/92 pre-season tour of Ireland in the same hotel as me. Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Dennis Wise, etc. The one who stood out as a real nice guy was Paul Elliott. Peter Schemichel coming into a restaurant in Prestbury as Mrs Grumpy and I were leaving. Went to school with Steve Sutton. Edited November 14, 2022 by Grumpy Git Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Pretty much every player who played for us between about 1972 and 1985. Since then, ooo Mark Wright in the Broadway a couple of times and Dave Watson in the A1 Little Chef after we won at Cambridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Oh and Nigel Clough at Orlando airport shortly after he'd taken the Derby job on. Most embarrassing celeb moment I've ever had but too long a story to tell now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImARam2 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 When I was working in the Middle East for a major British oil company, my colleague and I met Les Ferdinand at a sports function, which was being held by the Abu Dhabi Sports programme. Got chatting to him over a couple of drinks and invited him to dinner, which he accepted and we went to a top-class sushi restaurant and over a couple of hours of food, and more drinks, had a great conversation about football in general, including managers, other players and injuries. A really lovely guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Peter Shilton in a mens clothes shop. It was a meet and greet (he was Derby and Englands keeper at the time). My mate and me said we were both Derby fans. He laughed and said "Oh we have some fans then!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
