Highlights

  • Shaun Derry turned Notts County's fortunes around by utilising the free transfer and loan markets to bring in a mix of experienced and young players.
  • Kieron Freeman, the first signing under Derry, had loan spells before moving to Sheffield United, and now plays for Oldham Athletic in the National League.
  • Gareth Roberts, another signing under Derry, had a forgettable time at Notts County, but has since retired and worked as an assistant manager, most recently at Stalybridge Celtic.
