Now remastered and brought up to date. This has been mentioned many times, usually in reference to the old cassettes it came on, but here it is, available for all.
 

I am thoroughly disillusioned and fed up with the whole lot of them.

Really enjoyed Pride. But this period was my favourite as a Derby fan. Had my first season ticket for penultimate year at BBG and into Pride Park. What a time it was. Such good times. However, I am glad its not out yet as I dont think I could bear to read it just now!

Morning squad. I've been radio silence on here the last few months for two reasons:
I can't add anything on the situation between just sorrow I've been working on something new For those who don't know and for those who don't care (understandable, no complaints from me) I produced a book called Pride in 2020, which went into the last 20 or so years of the club. That was nice, but the issue is that for those 20 years we were pretty awful. So I wanted to work on something new and a bit more feel good. And so...
I'm really, really pleased to say that my next book will go live in Autumn of this year and it's titled: Groundwork: The Inside Story Behind Jim Smith's Derby County. 
Just like Pride, it's told from the behind the scenes perspective of those incredible few years and includes insight from around 60 former players, coaches and staff members at the club. From Igor, Eranio and Sturridge, through to Steve's McClaren and Round, it delves into what made that time so special. But more than this it focuses on the work of Jim as a manager and crucially, as a man. I've spoken with the creators of Prozone, the first sports psychologist in British football, the first fitness coach in the game, to evaluate how pivotal Derby (yes, Derby) were in the evolution of football in this country. And there is also a section remembering Jim himself, including thoughts from his family, as well as close friends like Harry Redknapp and Howard Wilkinson. There's even a Graham Richards cameo or two. 
I know there's a lot of continuing nightmares around us at the minute, but hopefully this brings a bit of joy and memories of what this club can be. ?

His description of Wanchope as an octopus juggling a bar of soap always comes to mind. What a team he put together.

Cant wait to read this Ryan

Just finished reading Jim's autobiography. Good read. But seems partly written while he was still managing at Derby so you could see he was careful over some of the things he said.
If this book reaches the standards you set in the first, Pride, it will be very illuminating. Cannot wait. Good luck.

I’ll def buy this

Brilliant. Looking forward to reading this. What a great man and Derby manager.
TBE really put Derby back on the football map and created some amazing memories. Great days.
Had my first ST in 84 so witnessed the amazing renaissance led by King Arthur, then TBE got us back up after a brief dip. Seems like yesterday we were a steady Prem team and whisper it… even liked and admired by other teams.
Now repeat after me, loud and proud, for at least 30 minutes:
Bald Eagle, Barmy Army
Bald Eagle, Barmy Army
Bald Eagle, Barmy Army
?
 

Can’t wait to read this!
Great work @HuddersRam ?
