Gazza58 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Seven years today we lost a proper Sheffield legend,despite what some buggers say :)I'm actually not old enough to have seen the great man play , but obviously have been brought up listening to the story's of his goal scoring achievements.What he could have achieved if not for that terrible tragedy god only knows, but no one will ever come close to having the equal respect from both sides of the city.RIP Derek.
rossyrooney Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Nice thread. R.I.P. Derek ... Sheffields footballing legend and a lovely man too.

Yer right not old enough. But yes a true sheffield Legend RIP Mr Derek Dooley
Sheridan1-0 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 In the era where "legend" is banded about too easily.... I think Derek Dooley thoroughly deserves every accolade going....63 goals in 60 odd games ... Then to lose a leg and get sacked as manager on Christmas Eve.... if that wasn't bad enough...he spent his later years at Bramall Lane...!!! It says a lot about him that he has a statue at the Lane... surprised Wednesday never did something similar at Hillsborough.. RIP Derek Dooley:clap:
ALAN 58 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Blue or Red they will never be another Derek Dooley. R.I.P
Tofty Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 As a 6 year old in 1952 I saw Derek Dooley play but unfortunately I was too young to remember much about it. RIP Derek Dooley.
