Several times, most memorably v. Liverpool at home on 15/10/57. Rams won 2-1 with goals from Dennis Woodhead and wee George Darwin, attendance 22,631, watched from the boys pen.

Defending the Normanton End, Martin McDonnell and Liverpool legend Billy Liddell , both very hard courageous players, went for a 50/50 tackle and ended up being injured. We were used to seeing ex - paratrooper McDonnell doing acrobatics when getting up from tackles, but not on this occasion!

Both players spent the remainder of the match holding each other up on the wing - no substitutes then!

Others have mentioned both Reg Ryan and (South African) Alf Ackerman who I saw play regularly. And who can forget seeing George Darwin skipping across the BBG mud wrong footing opponents repeatedly with delightful back heels.....!

Thanks @Maltyfor triggering a few memories, even if some were off topic!

 

 

Wow. What are the chances of anyone who remembers Martin McDonnell being able to use the internet ?

Ah!  Such wonderful memories.

Imagine how good it would be to see them all back in a Rams shirt again, after all these years.

Those first two can take their medals and throw them in the bin!

yes I saw that definition, I don’t think it’s a helpful one. It would suggest that, say, the name Philip Pullman is alliterative and I don’t think it is. This explanation is better I think ...

“Alliteration is about repetition of sound, not simply of letters written on the page. That’s why “Sol sells cell phones,” which repeats the “ess” sound, is alliteration, but “Sol charges cell phones” isn’t. “

So Cyrus Christie gets a red card

On this basis how about Doug Taft…
