GuiseleyRam Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Does anyone remember a game where John O'Hare went in goal for Derby at the Baseball Ground? Apparently it was for 20 minutes or so at the end of a game (and he didn't concede!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretDave Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I don't remember that, but I do remember Paul Williams keeping goal against Bristol City after our goalkeeper got sent off, Steve Sutton I think. He let a fair few goals in though! Also remember Robbie Savage in goal after Bywater went off injured and Deeney got sent off. Best outfield goalkeeper performance I remember was Man City against Derby when Niall Quinn took goal and saved a Dean Saunders penalty back in 1991. Quinn scored earlier in that match too. Derby got relegated that day. GuiseleyRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby got relegated that day. I was behind that goal at Maine Road that day. Great save as I recall. We were terrible even against 10 GuiseleyRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He let a fair few goals in though! I remember that all too well. I took this Leeds girl I was seeing to the game, when Sutton rugby tacked their player on the line there was a hushed silence on the pop side as the ref reached for his pocket. Then the crowd groaned as the red came out, all apart the the girl I was with who let out a loud and sustained laugh, much to my chagrin.

Eddie Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) Darlington at home in the League Cup, if I recall correctly. I think Reg Matthews got injured and John O'Hare took the gloves. The game finished 5-4 to Derby. Edited May 18 by Eddie GuiseleyRam and sage 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season clough took over and the game before the semis when Leeds beat us over 2 legs. We were not very competitive that year finished low in div 2.

Colin Boulton went off in the second half for six minutes for treatment to a wrist injury and O'Hare went in goal until Boulton returned. The Bristol goal was scored in the 83rd minute at the Normanton End when Boulton was back on the field.

I have found the Derby Evening Telegraph report from the Monday after the game and it does state that John O'Hare 'deputised admirably' for Colin Boulton while he was off the pitch for treatment.
