Not sure I quite get the reference, even though I'm old enough to remember Jimmy Thompson let alone Jonny.
Yes, it will be good from our POV to have a Derby back. Suspect you will be a fair bit stronger than us this year, but we'll see.
I can understand why it wouldn't register for a fev fan but in 88 we had a decent team with Mark Graham and Steve Ella. We won some big games but it all fell apart and we had a long losing run.
Mark Graham went home and left us in the learch. Toppo decided to put a lot of local lads in, like Jonny and Paul Malinder who weren't world beaters but bled red white and blue.
With that new found Trinity spirit, led by Ella, we beat a pretty good Fev side that day and got the season back on track.
Nothing game to anyone else but it's a signpost to many about the need for passion for the team and work ethic over skillful players out for themselves.
