00s Paulo Wanchope, Costa Rica
90s Mel sage
70s Spurs and Rod Thomas
60s Bobby Saxton
Own goal. Trick question. There was a documentary about Sunderland under Reid which made the headlines because of Saxton's swearing. If he was as good at football as he was at swearing he would have had a great career. I can remember him as an error prone center half.
Yes but City credited it to Gareth Williams not a Saxton own goal. I think. According to the following week's programme Williams ran 40 years and unleashed a powerful drive which went in off a defender. The club credited it to Williams in the 67/8 handbook, and Playfair annual has him scoring it too. Shepherd's stats are full of inaccuracies. Mind you I'm not sure what the official FL view is, if there is one.
Had me going a bit this one until Enoch came up with that and I realised I had different stats to the Shepherd book. Top question though.
80s is Paul Maddy - stop eroding the question to make me think it was goalkeeper!!! I forgot he was on trial with us in 89 or 90. And the three spells were with Hereford.
I could only find Gareth Williams for it as well. It was a bit perplexing when you look up all the City scorers against Derby in that decade and none of them had a managerial career of any note so a disputed own goal had to be the answer. Got the answer by looking at York and Blackburn managers. I always associate Saxton with being an Argyle player even though I do recall him being a Derby player of no particular note at all.
No, not him.
Correct.

Is it Idiakez, who'll be capped by the Basque Country?

[Edit: would have been a good guess had it been in the 10s category!]
It certainly is, well done.
Just the 10s to get I think.
70s: Derby beat spurs 8-2; maybe Rod Thomas scored.
Spedger
90s: Mel Sage.

I originally thought the 10s could be Roy Carroll, however Wikipedia is telling me he left Derby in 2009, hmm. I think that may be the answer though.
The answer is Roy Carroll - apparently he was on the bench for Derby in the game where Mark Hudson scored his sixty five yard goal.
He did and you're right.
I think that may be recent signing for those down West, Tom Carroll, rather than Roy.
Gareth Williams must have been a hell of a lot fitter than I remember if he ran for 40 years
Booming predictive text or my typing! Mind you if he did run like that we could probably do with him now, even if he is 75 years old now.Gareth Williams must have been a hell of a lot fitter than I remember if he ran for 40 years
