A quick trawl of the web seems to suggest the fatty in question could be Martin Taylor, the goalkeeping coach.

I remember Martin Taylor playing in goal for Derby (when thy ended our cup run - the bastards). Would never, ever have guessed that it might be the same guy! :shock:

Nigel Clough probably keeps him on staff to make himself seem slim. If Young Cloughy's face gets any rounder it might get mistaken for a football itself...

There's a fair few Derby fans who wouldn't mind a kick of it, I'm sure!
