I was fortunate enough to watch our second title win as a youth on the 'pop side' I'll always remember a midweek game towards the end of that season against man city, which we won 2-0 (I think) with Rioch scoring an absolute screamer! The other game that always stands out is our FA Cup quarter final victory over Newcastle...... The goals..... What a game, Charlie George, Kevin Hector, never reach those heights again, I consider myself very fortunate to have witnessed that era........ You Raaaaaaaaams!!

This Easter Bank Holiday Monday will be 54 years to the day in 1963 that my Father took me to see the Rams for the first time at the BBG, and my memories have not diminished from that first time.
We played Middlesborough and we stood in the Osmaston End paddock, next to the players tunnel and behind the small wooden dugout. I can't remember the attendance or all who scored, however, I do remember that Derby were losing 3-1 with 5 minutes remaining but we scored twice in those final minutes to draw 3-3.
I have so many memories of following the Rams, home and away, as well as many anecdotes of glories and failures, and despite being pilloried by other club's supporters when I was based overseas, it will always be that first experience which set me on a path of following Derby County football Club.
