My user name says it all great player ,I think of all the Derby players over the years King Kev has given me the most pleasure to watch and we have had some good uns.Not lately mind.

Truly, the best striker we have ever had. How I wish he was around these days. Like many of his day, a very humble and gracious man. Zigger zagger, zigger zagger Kevin Hector!

Was too young first time around. Remember that in the early 80's he used to be a postman and he delivered mail to the Baseball Ground. Almost a surreal sight. Then Addo resigned him in 1983(?) and the King returned. The shot was taken outside the BBG before one of his second spell matches. Complete legend. Total gentleman.

Took this ages ago - circa '83(?). Dusted the neg down and thought I'd share it with you.

Nice shot fella, as i've posted before I used to fish at raynesway (1970's) near the old training ground, the players always stopped from they're run to ask what i'd caught, wouldn't get that now eh:D

I never will forget seeing King Kev walk down my drive with the mail - just seemed so wrong!! Without doubt one of the best players ive watched over the years and ive seen the best. Unfortunate not to get a better go at an England shirt imo
