RIP Derek it was nice to know you, not through football but from when you used to stand behind the trade counter. Never to proud to get his hands dirty if the counter hands were busy out would come Derek to help out. What he didn't know about plumbing supplies weren't worth knowing.

Very strange that there's been no mention whatsoever of his time as a Forest director many years ago.

He was also a Magistrate at one time. I was up before him once when i pleaded not guilty to a speeding offence. Conducted my own defence and won.

 As i left the courtroom, the two cops who brought the charge were waiting for me. I was expecting problems as my version of events didn't tally with theirs. The opposite was the case- they both shook my hand, remarked how unusual it was for someone to get off a speeding charge, and took me upstairs to their canteen and bought me a drink.
