Nicest ever Derby players?


Recommended Posts

Paul Simpson once bought a young lad of about 10 a Derby pen from the Ramtique when he asked for his autograph and the pen had ran out.   Also spent a lot of time at the BBG sat in the dugout with McFarland and Guthrie having lunch when I was doing some work after Hillsborough taking out crash barriers from the Ossie End in 1990.  Got to know them well and they were very nice .  Roger Davies is nice and likes a joke. His campadrie Archie Gemmill is a right miserable bugger mind.

Roy Mac, absolute top bloke. One of the best footballers of his generation yet genuinely one of the nicest chaps you'll ever meet.

Darren Moore, lovely bloke, always had time to chat football even outside The Stuart Hotel on London Road after a post match meal with his missus.

Colin Boulton was laid back, relaxed, friendly, very ordinary. It never seemed to dawn on him that he was one of the best keepers in England (won the League twice), and would have won many England caps if he played in a different era. He had Gordon Banks, Ray Clemence and Peter Shilton in front of him for England.
