Zag zig Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 5 hours ago, Brammie Steve said: Richard Keogh made one mistake and is still popular with many fans for his years of loyal service. John McGovern was brilliant for the Rams and scored the goal against Liverpool that got us our first league championship! Do these deserve to be more unpopular than Derek Hales and Sam Longson? Yes Sam (reluctantly) financed Cloughie's purchases but he forced Sir Brian and Peter out in one of the darkest days in the Rams'history. McGovern was before my time but commented before Derek Hales was my first recollection of a striker and my old man put his poster on my bedroom wall. He was going to bring us the title apparently 🙄. For me, he will forever be the most unpopular because it’s my first let down as a fan and realisation Dads don’t always tell the truth 😂 SaffyRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earnshaw and John were especially reviled. I think for the manager it's a contest between Nigel Pearson and Phil Brown. I can still remember Brown berating the fans on the radio because he thought we'd boo'd Kevin Poole when people had chanted his name.... Anya won a hard-earned reputation in midfield as a complete scrounger by robbing the club blind. Whilst Savage won over a decent contingent of fans, a number still booed him when the announcer read out his name before kick-off. In defence, Claude Davies is an all too obvious candidate. These are just off the top of my head. Like most of Claude’s headers! Leeds Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 8 hours ago, angieram said: Crazy list. Middleton and Moreland were both nice guys who would never replace in the fans' affections the great players of adjacent seasons. Just weren't in the same class. McGovern - classy footballer who played at the very top of the game for us. Did the hard work and was always under-appreciated. A small element of Derby fans have always liked to heap derision on a scapegoat of their choice. Cyrus Christie, Kelle Roos, Morgan Whitaker, spring to mind from the recent past. It says a lot more about those so called fans than it does about the players. John McGovern is one of my favourite ever players for Derby. Very under-appreciated and as you say, it says far more about the so called fans than it does about the player. angieram and Dordogne-Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did all the un-noticed donkey work that enabled the rest of the team to “tick”. I was there and I saw all the donkey work! Well said.

bimmerman Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Deeney C. Christie Claude Keogh B. Johnson Butterfield Hendrick Savage Paterson Sammon Tyson Bench. Buchanan, Leon Best, Mikkel Beck, Anya, Roy Carroll, Omar Mascarell, Albentosa, Blackman Hendrick is for his post Derby career since, savage because everyone hated him. Personally I quite like him Paterson because he's a red dog that was just here for a Mel Morris payday. f*** that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
