We were all ecstatic so I said I'd not have a shave until we got promoted."At the time I was thinking we'd get the second promotion slot, but play-offs it was. I thought we'd easily beat QPR but then up popped Bobby Zamora."I didn't think I'd have to wait 10 years. We got into the play-offs a couple of times, it became a bit of a joke that the beard was in danger."I actually quite like the beard now - I might grow one again, but not as wild and woolly as this one."After more than a decade, Mr Scott's beard will go for good on 24 May at the Dandy Gent barbers in Derby.Follow BBC Derby on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.
