mattjon Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Is this the same Derek Darby that was involved in the scrap metal trade (I think) and whose son ran the Bowling Green at Grimesthorpe. Always well dressed and could seriously look after himself. If so then best wishes to all his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleke95 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I know a Derrick Darby, he had a brother called Alan. Is this the same guy? I know him from Attercliffe in the late seventies (Westbury Street I think). Come to think of it I've got a feeling his dad was called Derrick as well.
