Capture the history and greatest moments of 'Derby County' through the newspapers, as written at the time.
Starting in 1912 with coverage of Derby’s 2:0 win over Barnsley to secure promotion to Division 1, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century.
Top early stories include the 1923 FA Cup semi final vs West Ham, the 8-0 trouncing of Sheffield Wed in 1927, and 5-0 win over Man U in 1928. Relive the glory of winning the FA Cup in 1946 beating Charlton 4-1, the historic 5-0 defeat over Spurs in 1969 in front of a record crowd of 41,826, becoming Champions of Division 2 in 1969 and Division 1 in 1972 and again in 1975. Read about the top European games, Brian Clough’s departure in 1973, Bruce Rioch and Francis Lee’s signing in 1974, and Peter Shilton and Mark Wright in 1987. Coverage also of more recent times including promotion to the Premiership in 1996, Derby’s last game at the Baseball Stadium vs Arsenal in 1997 and much much more.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Derby County fans.
