I received some more of my old cards back today signed by two ex derby legends.
Alan Durban began his career at Cardiff City and was transferred to Derby County for £10,000 in July 1963 at the age of 22 having played over 50 times for Cardiff. Under Clough, Durban was moved from Inside-forward to an attacking midfield role and was handed the captaincy , he won a Football League First Division championship medal with Derby in 1971-72, although he then left the club in 1973 to join Shrewsbury Town where he later took charge as player-manager .Alan made 27 appearances for Wales.
My second reply was from Derby legend Kevin Hector.
After starting at Bradford Park Avenue, he signed for Derby County in 1966 and was a key player in their success under the management of Brian Clough and Dave Mackay over the next few seasons, forming a formidable partnership with John O'Hare. Hector played for the Rams for a total of 12 years, during which time they won the Football League First Division championship twice (the first time in 1972 under Clough and the second time in 1975 under Mackay), the Football League Second Division championship and promotion to the First Division in 1969, and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup, FA Cup and the League Cup. He rejoined the club for a brief spell in 1980, when they had been relegated back to the Second Division, and stayed with them for two years. He made a total of 486 league appearances, and scoring 155 goals. He was also capped twice for England. His 486 league appearances is a record for a Derby County player.
