What?!!!

Copied and pasted from the Derby Co Official site. Now come on lads, this is just plain daft. FA Cup losers three times considered an honour? League Cup semi final twice....? Second round of the Euro Cup once and EUFA cup second and third round? Is this what you all brag about to the opposition fans? Plastic coffee cups in the trophy cabinet? Its laughable, daft, pathetic, poor, desperate...... isnt it? Take the losses out and there isnt much left is there?

Worthington E

When I was at Wembley to watch the Charity Shield match in 1976, we beat West Ham Roy Mac and the great Zak scored, the only beer I could find was Worthington White shield. It had got sediment in the bottom of the bottle and was quite strong. It tasted horrible when you had to drink it out of the bottle, You got all the sediment in you mouth. It did make me regular though.

Not to mention Tartan Bitter, they used to sell it at the 7 Stars.
