Vital Football Hero
It is almost 25 years to the day since I last met Derek Spence. In that time his famous blonde locks may have thinned a little and there may be the odd grey hair around the temples, but most other things remain the same.

Now 67 years of age, Derek still possesses the physical and mental attributes that during his professional footballing career always made him such a difficult opponent to play against. His passionately articulate and personable manner has, over many years, afforded him a level of popularity with those that met him through his long and distinguished career in English and Greek football – and perhaps most famously as a free-scoring center-forward for Northern Ireland
