Drabble, who has made a mockery of Weltons decision not to renew his contract in the summer of 2008 by Scoring a hatful of goals for Nettleham last term, said he will not celebrate if he scores against his old club on Sunday.
"It's normal for me to celebrate a goal, but if I score I will do so with respect to my opponents," Drabble told Sky Sports News. "I still respect the Welton fans and I hope they know that.
"I still have friends in the Welton squad. That's never changed just because I now play for their local rivals.
"I can't wait to get back out onto Social Park, It will be very emotional for me and it will bring back a lot of fantastic memories."
"I don't think anyone could doubt my commitment maybe they could my work-rate but for the most part I gave my all for Welton in my two years there.
"For me it's always a great game to play against Welton as they're one of the best clubs around. But I'm with Nettleham now and I dream of winning derbies for them."
Drabble will be hoping for a similar ending to the game as when he scored the winner in the famous Christmas Welton 5 Golden eagle 4 game.
