Crazy to think he only won 1 Derby more than Liam Scales and Scales only made his Derby debut in September 2023, 1 win more than Scales from 28 more appearances. Mental to think if Scales lost 25 of his next 28 Derbies he'd probably still have a better record than Tavernier.
Funny also that his entire time there he only missed 5 Debies and they won 3 and drew 2 of them, were unbeaten when he didn't play.
