http://bygonederbyshire.co.uk/articles/Vann,_Bernard:_Rams_centre-forward_was_war_hero Thought this is appropriate lads for tomorrow one of the few professional footballers to have ever won a victoria cross whilst serving his country and he is one of ours (Derby County) I am proud to say...unfortunately killed in action 3 days after winning the vc with the Sherwood Foresters on the western front in 1918, spare a thought for Bernard tomorrow lads.
Lest we forget.
