Quick trivia question: what's the highest number of goals a defender has scored in a season, in the top flight? Steve Bruce scored 19 in 1990/91, sharing the accolade with Derek Mountfield's remarkable exploits in 1984/85.
Mountfield was in the Jacaranda Pub on Saturday night celebrating the Derby win but was ejected with force by the bouncers after the panic button went off. His partner was similarly gruffly handled, and a third person was literally thrown out head first. There are accounts of the events here and here. I've always loved the unique atmosphere in the Jac, but hate the "bouncer syndrome" that make anyone in a bomber jacket and pin-on-tie to think themselves above the law. A quick scour of the press and I can't find any mention of this incident - I certainly won't go back until I hear that these bullies see justice.
