Many in football have taken advantage of their ‘celebrity’ by entering the licensed trade, some while still playing or managing. Here Peter Seddon - confirmed football 'trivialogist' and author of 'The Little Book of Derby County' - offers a selection of Derby County personalities who were all ‘mine host’ locally at some time or another. Alas, some of the hostelries, like their landlords, stopped serving many years ago. Additions to the list would be welcome.

HARRY MASKREY – THE NEW INN, DERBY

JOHN GOODALL – THE STATION INN, DERBY

STUART McMILLAN – THE NAG’S HEAD, MICKLEOVER

GEORGE DAVIS – THE PLOUGH INN, ALFRETON

TOM CRILLY – THE HILTON ARMS, DERBY

BILLY HUGHES – THE RISING SUN, DERBY

ERIC STEELE – THE HOLLYBUSH INN, BREEDON-ON-THE HILL

GEORGE THORNEWELL – THE WHITE HART, DUFFIELD

KEVIN HECTOR – THE STAFF OF LIFE, TICKNALL

ROGER DAVIES- THE COCK INN, HANBURY

DAVID NISH – THE TURK’S HEAD, DONISTHORPE
