Ian Feuer went on to play in the Prem for West Ham and Derby.

I think Jacko is the only Diamonds player if he makes the step up - all of the others were loan players weren't they? So not "proper" ex-Diamonds !!

You are assuming that Jacko will actually play a Premiership game though. It is 4 however already, with Ruddy, Ashdown, Folan and Feuer.

Jacko is most LIKELY to be added to that list and I would probably put an outside bet on both Sharp and Tomlin doing the same within a couple of years.

Tomlin will play for England.

Not Premier League, but Steve Cherry (GK - 18 Appearances in 1997 for R&D) may have played Top Flight football in England. He was at Derby between 1979 & 1984. Derby were in the First Division in 1979/80, but were relegated at the end of that season. He made 77 appearances during his time at Derby, so there is a possibility. I'm trying to confirm :)

Quite a few players have come to us on the way down who played in the Premiership. Chris Whyte & Alun Armstrong spring to mind.

Dean Holdsworth another? (Albeit not for long...)
