Sad news. A real gentleman who will be sorely missed & never complained even when losing his leg in a relatively short career unlike many of the scum chavbags ie Micah Richards for whom a tear wont be shed. Saw & heard him on the radio & satellite & a very popular figure in the Rome of the north on the blue & red half of the steel city. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7279889.stm |

Its the attitude & behaviour of current players Gres. Not all of course but a select few who seem to think they are Gods gift to mankind.
I doubt very much in sixty years time if many people would turn up to see the passing of a Dooley like figure as for Matthews or Manion or Milburn .
I've respect for people like Giggs or Scholes for instance or say Smudger at Watford & nowt for flash arrogant pillocks ie Micah Richards.

I didnt realise Richards was like that tbh - Dyer, Defoe etc etc yes but ive never heard of Micah Richards in any tabloid stories? i get your point though, the likes of Terry et al are no role models for anyone! |

I dont read the tabloids honest  but there were some recent incidents . The money seems to go to their heads Gres . Far too much far too early & often for precious little talent. Cloughie would not tolerate some of the childish behaviour I've seen ie Gallas acting like a baby at Birmingham & neither I suspect would Ferguson. |

Cloughie would have been done for assault...by his own players i reckon! ;D ;D |

True sadly.  Have you ever suffered an attack by an irate fan or manager verbally or physically ? Are you an overpaid prima donna ? Had your delicate ego pricked ? If so you CAN claim compensation ? Simply call us on MO N E Y G R A B B I N G L A W Y E R S N O T I N T E R E S T E D I N R E A L J U S T I C E. Some days I wonder why I keep watching this game.Its so far removed from the games I've seen recently on ESPN Classic when we stuffed Everton 2-1 (Falco & Barnes)& Arsenal 4-2 (angry Arsenal players & fans so no change there then !)in the FA Cup QF as to be have from another historical era. |

I watched the highlights of Derby 4-1 Real Madrid in the European Cup QF earlier on youtube. Was brilliant! Will never see us do that again! |

My dad keeps talking about it ! He was a Forest fan when he was working up there at Rolls Royce on the assembly line. But you are right. Unless we get salary caps even a draft system the rich will get stronger even a European SuperLeague whilst rhe rest languish ever further behind. See you later Gres.  |

Dooley was the only player that managed to play for both Sheffield clubs and remained liked by both side. Shall have a drink for him in Dooleys Bar at Hillsborough on Saturday.
RIP Derek

Had the pleasure of meeting the legend himself a few years ago at one of those evenings with do`s. A real gent, quite happy to give every time for a chat and a photo. Lovely fella and will be sadly missed by both sides of the city.
63 goals in 63 games is a record to be proud in a career tragically cut short by injury

but there were some recent incidents . 
Forever without exception. x
