Skipper Savage Celebrates Derby Getting 2010/11 Started With A Win At Leeds

Pictured here is former Derby County skipper Robbie Savage celebrating at the final whistle as the Rams got the 2010/11 campaign started with a 2-1 victory at Elland Road against Leeds United.

Rob Hulse put Derby ahead early on with a powerful finish, only for Luciano Becchio to equalise soon afterwards for the hosts from close range.

However, Kris Commons netted the winner just before the half-hour mark from the penalty spot to get Derby off to a flying start away from home.

Derby finished the 2010/11 season in 19th place in the Sky Bet Championship table in a campaign with Wales international midfielder Savage a regular in the side.

The season proved to be Savage’s final one as a professional football as he announced his retirement at the end of the campaign.
