Macintosh Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Tim Ward and Breedon Books set up the Derby County Former Players' Association long ago. Here are some images of players only a few will remember, at the Donington Thistle Hotel I think it was, the first sponsored dinner held. Since then (1991) they have raised many thousands for charity. I don't think Ikechi Anya ever got an invite. Tim's son, Andrew, wrote The Derby County Story, which was launched that evening. Breedon's Anton Rippon is behind Tommy Powell, dad of Steve Powell. I have more images that I need to dig out and share.

I worked with and took over from Tim briefly before he retired from his sales job. An absolute gentleman and lots of great stories about the Rams and football in general Macintosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
