  • I had forgotten about that game, good goal by Pardew though...

    1994/95 was the season in Garry Nelson's Left Foot Forward book, I recall

    We done the same to Newcastle a few years earlier

    Must've been Newcastle's lowest point. Keegan replaced Ardiles shortly after this and saved them from relegation to the old third division. Promotion as champions the following season, followed by third in the Premiership the year after and European football. Maybe we could ... ah no forget it ...

    Truly horrible. What made it even worse was that I had to witness it in the company of my best mate - a Derby fan. Lording it at half time, even a bit embarrassed for him as a guest at the Valley, then calamity struck leading to perennial piss-taking ever since. How I hated Marco Gabbiadini.

    On the positive side I think this was the end of the road for Curbs with our then central defensive dream team of Chapple and McLeary, who soon made way for the youth of Rufus and reassuring solidity of Sweaty Balmer. I could be making it up though.

    Didn't Gabbiadini get a hat trick for Sunderland against us at the Boleyn?

    Yep - I wstched that as well - he was a quality striker I always thought - given a bit more conviction he could have been top class - I saw his brother play against my mate's non league team (his brother played for tadcster Albion - yes !!! - and his brother W's a fat gig but you could see he was a player - marco was a wasted talent in my view

    He was one of those strikers that you always feared when you saw them on the oppo's team sheet. Imre Varadi and Mike Sheron were two others that always seemed to enjoy themselves against us.

    Sheron was one of those strange players who made a big impact - made a big move - failure (Norwich) - moved on and then did well again - english football has so many examples of this - weird isn't it

    Here are a few ransoms in the same vein...

    Robert Fleck....Norwich to Chelsea.

    Peter Davenport.....Forest to Man Utd.

    Trevor Senior....Reading to Watford.

    Morgan Fox was at fault for all four of Derbys goals

    He was about 16 months old.

    Can't remember the game but the entire team in those days cost about £ 2.50 so they probably did their best.

    Chapple was an awful defender

    Speaks highly of your defending. .....

    Annoyingly this only gives the Derby players.

    Their team was pretty decent, it also included Craig Short, Lee Carsley, Paul Simpson and in defence Daren Wassall who is currently the manager at Derby!

    Gabbiadini was such a good finisher though. Mark Robson still reminds me of a little boy playing with the big boys....those were the days.
  • Was this the game that turned Tom Hovi into a legend?

    Tom Hovi was born a legend ;-)

    I think this was from the time the owner was trying to buy promotion, hence the talent on show.
