All Time Top Twenty Favourite Derby Players

Recommended Posts

Being 17, I've seen only a handful of "good" players. My list is pretty embarassing compared to some older fans'....

1. Gianfranco Labarthe Tome

Ha. No seriously, based on my opinion when they were at the club:

1. Dean Sturridge (because when I was 3, he was the only player I knew)

2. Gregzrz Raziak

3. Inigo Idiakez

4. Mart Poom

5. Kris Commons

6. Giles Barnes

7. Leon Osman

8. Tommy Smith

10. Shaun Barker

11. Marco Reich

12. Frank Fielding (for attitude)

13. Tom Huddlestone

14. Paul Peschisolido

15. Steve Horward.

Infact, I can't even do 20.

It's a favourite players list FFS not best players Dangerous! Powell was exactly the sort of player we needed at that time to allow Eranio, Baiano, Asanovic to play their football without worry.

Anyway, I'll pick 3 as it's a clear 3 for me everyone else is on a par.

1. Poom - I used to be a keeper when I was younger, growing up at the time Poom was in his pomp at Derby and I totally idolised the blokes focus and attitude.

2. Igor - Just an ice-cool, stylish, classy leader of men and seems to have the club at heart, given his exploits in the summer.

3. Stefano Eranio - slick passing, outstanding touch, great vision and his partnership with Baiano between 97 and 99 was fantastic to watch - such understanding and chemistry between the two.
