The Second Coming

Well today was a day to remember in Derby County history for me...(Sorry have to talk about footie today).....
The thing about being a supporter is that every so often a player will come along that you take a fancy to....No not like that.....well sometimes like that......He becomes your favourite player and you live the games through him.....Then things change. Your fave player has a big offer come in for him and then he is gone....You are devastated for a while but your heart is really with the team so you eventually forget about him and eventually you have a new favourite player.

So a few years ago we signed this young lad who was just breaking into the England set-up. I really liked the look of him and he became my favourite player...Seth Johnson...I got his autograph and everything ;) I'd even seen him play for the England U21s at Pride Park and thought he was a great prospect for the future.
Then in 2001 he was sold to Leeds United for a whopping £7Million.....You couldn't really be devastated at that kind of money I guess....

Unfortunately Sethlad as the fans affectionately call him didn't have such a good time at Leeds. He was dogged by injury. He didn't see much action. There was also a clause in the contract that once he played a certain number of games, Leeds would have to pay us... Derby County.... more money...They are as strapped as we are unfortunately.
So, Today he is back...The second coming of Seth Johnson!!!!!! Hopefully he will be in the team against Cardiff for Saturday....Now if only I could get to the match

News on the move including audio and video....for those that are interested ;-)
