Tis five years ago today since the untimly passing of my alltime footballing hero the late Derek Dougan (Wolves).
Has me wondering how many of todays Prem "stars" will be remembered with such fondness nearly fourty years after there retirement ?.
The Doog gone but not forgoten.

He seemed a nice bloke I last saw him at Jeff Astle's funeral.

Not a problem Fish.
I corresponded with The Doog many times before his passing and he was only to happy to sign my photographs for me,and may i add at no extra cost to me, one Prem super "Star"several years ago who one of my daughters had a crush on wanted £60 for an autograph , neadless to say i told him were to stick it.
Nothing was ever to much trouble for The Doog who always put the fans first.
