cannable Posted Friday at 20:04 Share Posted Friday at 20:04 That got me about his dad. Always used to be funny having a pop at him on Twitter about how he used to be a Derby fan, nothing malicious. I even said at work this morning, I wonder if this means his Dad’s a Derby fan again. f****** s*** he won’t get to see him play for us.

Scott129 Posted Friday at 20:34 Share Posted Friday at 20:34 I don't know how long this move has been on the cards - or when we started talking to him - but I hope his dad knew this was a possibility before he passed away. He would have been chuffed to bits. Derby4Me, JPRamFan, 1967Ram and 4 others 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted Friday at 20:42 Share Posted Friday at 20:42 I got told by my reliable source that his dads passing was a big factor in Ben joining us. Firstly because he wanted to be local mear his family, and secondly because it was his dads dream to see Ben play for us. I got told this on Weds.

For any Rams fan who is a dad, I think having their child play for Derby would be the ultimate dream come true. Osborn apparently rejected more money elsewhere, so I wonder if his recent loss may have impacted his decision? I’ve already seen his sister tweet the below, he must be doing all his family proud joining this club.

The_Sheriff Posted Friday at 21:29 Share Posted Friday at 21:29 His wife is also from derby (former school friend of my sister) and is also the cousin of actor jack o'connel So It's fair to speculate it suited the whole family for him to be back in Derby! Hopefully he does well for us. Carl Sagan, Ram1988 and Carnero 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted Friday at 22:39 Share Posted Friday at 22:39 Welcome back home Ben… one of our own! Took a while to get going, but looks like our summer business is about to get properly underway. Decent start to the much needed rebuild… although interestingly I get the impression from what I’ve heard that he wasn’t one of our first choice signings. Not sure who we missed out on, as far as I’m aware no strongly linked targets have gone elsewhere yet… just hope it doesn’t mean that what I heard about Adams being too expensive to sign permanently is true… Expect us to sign another 3 CMs this window, let’s hope Adams is next!

Carl Sagan Posted Friday at 23:59 Share Posted Friday at 23:59 Such a good long interview. A Warne signing in terms of the character of the player - which is a huge plus. And team spirit and a team of characters can take you a long way. We're all gutted for him and his family, about his dad. So recently. What a shame the old man didn't get to see his boy in a Rams shirt. But welcome, Ben! Hope you're part of something special at Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted Saturday at 00:19 Share Posted Saturday at 00:19 Good honest interview, but I especially liked how he felt that he would be more motivated playing for us over the other interested teams. It's nice to see that it's not all about the biggest pay day for some players Caerphilly Ram, Crewton, DarkFruitsRam7 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have backed him from a little kid at Forest and had a feeling he would sign one day. Dare I say it, I even stuck a few quid on him scoring in THAT game! Welcome home Ben, go make your dad even more proud than he already would be! He has just by putting a ram on his chest instead of that shower of sh*t 🤣, great signing and a great lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been chuffed to bits. From talking to a lot of people I know including Ben himself , it’s been about 3-4 weeks serious interest. Warne actually contacted him after the season to ask about the contract situation but Ben had originally wanted to re-sign with the blades. However, they were in a mini embargo as they were in talks for a new owner so couldn’t offer new deals. Ben and my mate who own the Lonely Boy in Borrowash then went to scout a new celebrity-exclusive bar in the Algarve and Warne texted him daily and even asked if he’d like a special montage for his family e.g. a tribute thing for his dad. He really liked warnes down to earth approach and Ben’s very grounded so I guess the personalities clicked.

IlsonDerby Posted Saturday at 08:47 Share Posted Saturday at 08:47 Osbourne in, Hourihane out. Net age change: -3 This is one way of reducing the age of the squad. We still need experience. Waghorn replaced with Jackson: -4 Smith replaced by one of the lads we’ve been linked with: at least -7 Gayle replaced by Yates: -7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as they openly were talking to people at the bar, it’s a really good bar I’ve got to say. on a different topic it looks highly likely Ebou might be off the cards Edited Saturday at 09:11 by simmoram1995 DarkFruitsRam7 and Mucker1884 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
