To try and put his name along side cult heroes like Bloomer, Mackay Hector Saunders McFarland Todd George Stimac etc is just talking daft!

Did I say that Commons belonged with Bloomer, Mackay, Hector, Saunders, McFarland, Todd, George and Stimatc etc. No! they put their own path of legacy on Derby and so did Commons and any other player at the club. They were good in their own rights, if Mackay, Bloomer, Hector, Saunders, McFarland, Todd, George and Stimac etc was still playing and they were in their 30's and they were still showing their prime you would put them in your squad in a heart beat.
