dcfcdavecov Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Always like Dean Yates myself. Ahh, Barnsley away, December 28th 1998? No roof, snowing, car stuck in the adjacent field. Yates gets sent off. crowd falls silent. Yates walks up to the ref and shouts "**** you". Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 From Notts with love... Dean Yates: Huddersfield away...boxing day...1-0....Ronnie Willems...we are top of the league, we are top of the league.... Stopped at tthe services on the way home, having a big fat burger to soak up the alcohol and in walks Dean Yates, sat next to us and chatted about the match, saying he often travelled to away games in his car on his own..! Really nice bloke...and could he put away the burgers..! Craig Short: Remember when he signed for us and he had a massive burn mark on his face because he had been ironing his shirt for the press conference and tested the heat of the iron on his cheek.! Tommy Johnson: Drunken night out after some game in London, 3 of us all decided that we would pick a name of a Derby player to name our kids after...I picked Archie (who is now 9)....one of the lads picked Charlie (he is now 7)and the youngest of the trio picked Tommy......and he was born two weeks ago.. Thanks for the memories Notts....keep those great players coming our way.....and like someone has already said......we built your ground for you...we built your ground for you....

ramblur Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I remember another one from Notts County,Don Roby in the 1960's:confused: He played a few games and did quite well. I'd never apologise for bringing this up again-one of the most interesting pieces I've read on an era I remember with fondness:- http://www.bygonederbyshire.co.uk/stories/Derby-County-Era-canny-signings-little-success/article-1784555-detail/article.html Not much on Roby,I'm afraid,but a feast of other goodies.Never realised that Andrew Ward was involved with the book (am assuming it's Tim's son).Went to school at the same time as Andy-very good cricketer and remember him carting the 'masters' bowling to all points in an annual 'masters v boys' match.Who knows,Andy may be posting on a forum somewhere.

ramblur Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Really loved that piece brought it all flooding back and Brian Clough was so lucky that Tim Ward left him with the legacy of Zac. ...not forgetting Webster and Durban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ram Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 ...not forgetting Webster and Durban. ... and Colin Boulton, Peter Daniel and a few others. Tim Ward was a Derby legend, lived in a big house not far from my Great Aunt in Shelton Lock/Chellaston and was a great former England player and a good chap all round.

Smalley Ram Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Dean Yates was a big success at Derby. Can anyone remember Paul Hooks ? I remember Paul Hooks but strangely can't remember if he was any good - was it in the turd division days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 No, he was'nt very good. He was a left footed midfielder and to be fair I was probably judging him on memories of Archie and Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
