Nice list, although I don’t think I’ve seen Alan Buckley’s name in that kind of company before!! Was he Walsall manager in that era....do we blame him for David €£@%ing Kelly and Fred Barber?

He also turned out over 400 times for Walsall as a player. And he managed Grimsby for 11 years in three spells...I’ve always regarded him as a stalwart of our domestic game....love loyal, passionate guys like him...

The first player to wear boots other than black ones I believe.....loved it when Clough dragged him back onto the pitch after a game and asked him to “show me the hole on the pitch” ..... “What hole boss?” said Hinton....”The one you’ve been f@cking hiding in all afternoon” ...... Alan Ball did around the same time Not sure Who was first - You May be right about Hinton being the first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me intrigued - Both were approached by Hummel who made them with big money to wear them Researching it both wore them in 70/71 season and Hinton is widely acclaimed as the first But looking at this article it looks like Ball wore them in Charity Shield prior to that season Before reading the article anyone able to name a third player to wear them (City connection) (I didn’t realise he did) https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.footy-boots.com/alan-balls-white-boots/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you got that right Slarti? Yogi didn’t start his playing career until the ‘80s, he only played for Scottish and Welsh clubs and didn’t play for the Mackems and the other John Hughes lasted 15 minutes into his 1973 Sunderland debut before injury finished his career....apologies if I’ve got that wrong...

Monkeh Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Derby have to sell pretty much all their high earners and anyone they can get a fee for as that gambled a few years back spending serious money as they thought they'd get promoted, goes to show that spending doesn't always get you up, as another poster put it, gradual progress all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
