I'm bored with writing I went to the gym and had curry for my tea, then had a few drinks and I didn't start my blog to discuss work, so I've decided to introduce a new (possibly ongoing) feature to my blog: 'Today's Hero'!
Derby County are playing Nottingham Forest today (the score was one a piece last time I checked, amazingly Bangladesh TV isn't covering the match live), so it seemed appropriate to start with former Rams' Croat libero and captain, Igor Stimac
Igor wasn't my favourite 90s Derby player (that was Tommy Johnson) but he was by far the most important. Handsome (the photo doesn't do him justice), and build like a cruiserweight boxer, he was an awesome sight when in action and I can still hear the spontaneous cry of 'Igor, Igor, Igor', that rang round the Baseball Ground on the afternoon he was first introduced to the fans
An older friend said there was an air of Dave Mckay about the way he read the game and his physical presence; a real compliment. A worthy start to Today's Hero I think
Edit: 2-1 to the Rams. Igor you're a hero alright, ftw
