Savage

There's been worse servants for the club than Robbie. He wasn't a good footballer when he played for us, not at all, and I was glad when he hung up his boots but you can't fault his passion for the club and you always knew he was trying his best for us. His genuine love the club despite it not really giving him much in terms of on-field achievment or financial gain is something I would have thought our fans would like.

I'm not defending his footballing ability at Derby, but I don't understand some of the hate he gets.

Don't forget - he's not Ruben Zadkovich.

I'd like to be a million quid behind what he earnt for us over the last 3 seasons, and we allowed him to concentrate on his new 'career' as well.
