RIP. “I have had… such terrible experiences with… that… with… with the AIDS. Um… I’ve lost so many friends to that terrible disease. My half-brother, who was such a promising dancer, very quietly, very peacefully, he went. And then… Freddie went.” –Dean Lerner

I had the pleasure of being at that game at the Baseball Ground. A classic had everything 3-2 to Derby . Two injury time goals including one from one of our own Duncan McKenzie. They don’t make them like that anymore.

I was only 15 but remember so many of the greats played that day including Lee but City at the time were a great side, Lee Bell and Summerbee being the stand outs. I remember City won 2-1 and United were on a downer having just lost an FA Cup semi final. Crowd of 63k and it was an incredible experience for a schoolboy at the time - I think it was about my first time outside Grimsby!
