Rams keeper Stephen Bywater went back to school this week - to chat to youngsters about being Derby County's number one.

Stephen visited Roe Farm Primary School in Chaddesden as part of the Rams' commitment to the Premier League's 'Creating Chances' community programme.

The goalkeeper answered questions from four classes at the school and also took part in a kick-about in the school playground - keeping goal of course!

Said Stephen: "It was great fun. I remember when I was at school in Manchester, Ryan Giggs and Lee Sharpe visited and it was tremendous for all of us. I don't see myself as a big star like them, but it's useful to get out and see what is happening in the community. It takes no effort to spend an hour or two away from the training ground doing something worthwhile for the kids, and I've really enjoyed myself."
