Playing just 4 times for Newcastle United Derek didn't manage to record a single win in his time with the club. A draw after coming as a sub against Chelsea was indeed his only point achieved whilst at the club. Who knows what might have been for the lad however, as a nasty ankle injury was the only reason he didn't end up having a career as a Pro, with the injury forcing to quit the professional league when still a teenager. Bell was at the centre of case that saw George Ormond convicted of child sex abuse years later. His life was blighted by mental health issues after the trial in 2002.
