@super_ram Did Dave Mackay have a nickname. Was it Big Dave?

That's a Strong Possibility ,the only reason I said John O'Hare was that he scored a late goal vs Leeds to Knock them out of the F.A Cup 3-2, and the Ball came off his Chest, and it was said Old Barrell Chest's scored the winner. Mind You it was an awful Long Time Ago so memories ain't as Sharp as they used to be.

I also remember Dave Mackay was once called by a Reporter when he first signed for Derby Old Man River, because he just keeps Rolling Along. Wasn't he due to Retire before Cloughie brought him to the Baseball Ground?

I remember when Dave signed for Derby. I think Cloughie built the team around him and got Dave to play as sweeper. Funny that today they expect the goalie to do that????

Dave went to Swindon after his Derby days for a year.

@Robbie , I'm not aware of a nickname that stuck(apart from miracle man after breaking his leg twice) I just remember him as 'Mighty Mac)

@super_ram

One of the most Vivid things I remember about Dave Mackay was that photo of him and Billy Bremner, where Dave's got Bremner by the front of his shirt and is almost lifting him off the Ground in Shear Anger. What had happened Dave wasn't long back after Breaking a Leg and Bremner had Fouled him, and Dave didn't like it which was understandable remembering the Dirty Leeds Side of the 1970's.
