Great fun, great lads and great supporters. 🔥

Here's another true story.

A few years before we were on holiday in Belalmadina.

Dee were away to hearts on the Saturday

J and me usual script away to pub early for the scores.....too early and a fair scoof ensued with owner who was a wolves fan who claimed wolves were bigger than man u.....I know 🙄......anyway......the pole scores at tynecastle for a Dundee win (I think).....and it gets a bit hazy from there......in the pub and I starts the song "it's a goal from Darius the pole......to the tune of Andy Cole.

Anyway a guid night was had by all.

Next day no minding much and both wives no very happy we retreat to the pool no to get head nipped and get story straight.

Leaning against the pool wall this auld boy who we'd never seen in our puff swims past doing the breast stroke and says "how's the Derry boys the day, sair heads"....😃

Anyway come back to the derby and he scores late equaliser and I start the song in the bowzer after the game......and it stuck.😁
