Cobra Posted 16 July 2020 Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 I remember Geordie Shaw was a bit of character who played to the Derry. Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCram Posted 16 July 2020 Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 Alec Hamilton was another. It's a pity players are so restricted in what they can do. Winding up the opposition always seemed to have a positive effect on the home support. Humour was the best form of wind up. There were some great opposition players who wound up the Dee's. Charlie Millar came across as an entertainer when he came to Dens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted 16 July 2020 Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 Randy Wolters pre season up in Arbroath, looked like he was right up for crowd interaction with us (and not the pus punching way he did in Holland ). I must admit, he was one that I thought was going to be a fans favourite..... och well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton was one of the greatest players to wear our jersey, or any Scottish jersey, and it's good to know he was one loved to rouse the Dee support. Makes him feel a wee bit more relatable for those who never had the privilege of seeing him run out at Dens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Posted 16 July 2020 Author Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 There was one time I was sure Chic Charnley was looking at me and saying, "If you want to us to win make some f**cking noise." All in my head obviously but you get the point. He wanted a reaction. It worked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCram Posted 16 July 2020 Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 Favourite Charlie Millar story. Getting pelters from the Derry with the Who ate all the pies etc. Big belly gesture from him, great cheers. Then as we were winning he got the Charlie Charlie what's the score. He turned to the Derry and correctly gave the score of 2-1 using the reversed Churchill for our 2 goals. Pandemonium in the Derry. Some old bloke, not me, took offence and wanted the linesman to flag the ref so that Charlie could be charged with unsportsmanlike behaviour. He was told not to be so silly and we had a good laugh. It seems to me that somehow as fans we have lost our sense of fun and, in part, I think the players are frightened to show their emotions. What was the name of the big goalie from the Caribbean? He used to drive us daft at goal kicks with jumping up and banging the soles of his boots together a couple of times. You just knew he loved getting told to please hurry up! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Charlie Miller a lot in a football sense. He was the Chic Charnley of his day. Brilliant player. Problem was him wearing tangerine and being devastatingly effective against Dundee. It would do my head in when Dees would taunt him, as he clearly thrived on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Campbell's Ghost Posted 16 July 2020 Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 Andy Rhodes, Dunfermline and maybe Fermers keeper, dad of Jordan Rhodes. He used to do his wobbly leg routine at pens and always had a smile or taunt for us Dees as he ran towards us to take up position in goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy McLean Posted 16 July 2020 Report Share Posted 16 July 2020 The late great Davie Cooper was another. He loved tormenting The Derry when he hugged the touch line. Everybody was screaming at him, myself included but it just encouraged him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
