Derrick Downing

I love it that his favourite players are Ferenc Puskas and Albert Broadbent.

Hes right about the goal V West ham in the cup, best goal I have seen at Ayresome.....

2nd was Big Johns chip against Alex Stepney (manure cup match)

3rd was Hughies header v QPR in the McIlmoyle Match
 
Great bloke and a great player, one of my favourites from the Stan Anderson regime. Lived in Nunthorpe. I was his son Paul's football coach for the local cub pack and Derrick used to come along to all the game - realy nice easy going bloke. His son was a very handy little footballer.
 
One of the lads from school managed to get his shirt after the Oxford game - used to wear it in sports lessons. Was jealous to death! I know someone else in Guisborough got part of big John’s shirt, one arm! Apparently it was ripped to shreads!

Hi Nosmo-king, hope alls well, thats a cracking story & remember you posting it before

Wondee if they still own the parts of the shirt, would be nice to know
 
Hiya Erimus, don’t know to be honest! Lost touch with the 2 many years ago! I had no chance as I was sitting South Stand upper for the game - with my grandad!
