As one of the usual 26,000-plus fans watching Derby v Swansea, I was tickled to see the bloke in front of me literally bowing down in homage every time Tealhinio (Gary Teal) or Robbie Savage (blond hair blowing in the wind) touched the ball.
Humbled Rams fan have transformed their attitude towards these two players of late - and gladly admitted they were wrong. Both Teal and Sav have been playing brilliantly under Nigel Clough's stewardship.
Nevertheless, some of the massed ranks of Rams fans are clearly squirming with niggling guilt for being so flamin' orrible to their own players in the past.
After months of yelling less than complimentary comments at the two Derby County stars, it's time to make amends.
Not sure that the new song, Teal Wonderland, about our Gary, cuts the mustard, though. It's lyrics go along the lines of: "He used to be **** but now he's all-right. Bet Gary just loves that little ditty!"
Anyway, thankfully some Rams fans are trying to make amends in other ways. The supporter I spotted clearly felt so guilty when the Derby boys did another star turn, that physically bowing down to the floor, arms outstretched in homage, was the only way to make up for his rotten ranting, even if it meant missing a goal or two.
Gary and Sav... may the force of humbled Rams fans be with you!
