Quite a short gap between this and my first interview, and this with the same Derby fan I spoke to for the first interview.

I always felt a bit sorry for Gaz when he was with us – he was bought by Hart as a player to come off the bench and change a game (in my opinion), but was rushed into the side when still recovering from an injury to replace David Johnson, who’d just broken his leg, [...]

The lethal frontman has been working hard on his recuperation from a torn medial ligament on the opening day of the season, and is hopeful that the initial estimate of a four month layoff was somewhat exaggerated. He [...]

I was blessed with being tolerant, so I have amongst my acquaintances a number of supporters of Derby County, ranging from colleagues to friends – I thought it would be interesting to interview one of them, this is that interview. Hello, it’s not been the best of starts for the mutton molesters this season, has [...]
