1962/68 away shirt

Fabulous. Please do keep us up to date as I definitely want to buy. Thanks @loweman2. 

The player second from the right in the row of five players is Harry Storer, he played for the Rams between 1921 to 1928 he was capped for England twice,he also played cricket for Derbyshire. But more importantly for me he was manager of the Rams when I first started supporting them without going with my dad, in 1955, He was a no nonsense manager and Brian Clough modeled himself on Storer. Even though we were in the third division north I loved those times and I have never lost my love of Derby County. UTR 

We have had such a great response to them that we are looking at getting a run of 84 done to tie in with the 125 year anniversary of the BBG, get on Twitter and follow us at @ramsheritage or search  for Rams Heritage Trust, we are getting some ideas of numbers, they will be around £80 each as they are a bespoke order, I will also put some updates on here, they really are a superbly well made shirt, British made, not CHINESE imported.

As part of my collection and the rams heritage group that we have formed, myself and Jason Shardlow aka est1884 or boyfromtheterrace have with the help of toffs recreated the first Derby County shirts you have a badge, we had that embroidered by a third party and toffs applied it for us to the Bespoke shirts that they had made for us, it has really brought this period back to life and will be at future rams heritage displays so look out for events.

This book by local Derby historian Peter Seddon is an absolute “must read” for Derby County fans. Exquisitely and beautifully written, the prose takes you back 135 years to the very moments at the Bell Hotel in Sadlergate, Derby in May 1884 when the “upstart” Chocolate & Cambridge Blues were created; you are taken through the journey piece by piece and can almost hear the discussion which took place in that salubrious yet smokey hotel room. Beautiful stuff...Repton schoolmasters, farm labourers and Midland Railway clerks combine during a unique period of English social change to create the Beloved Club we know today. All in the name of filling the empty coffers of the faltering cricket club...

Still really feel for him. He’s been poorly advised. I really hope the PFA can work a reconciliation between him and the Club but he has to accept he’s now an ex- pro footballer. A reminder to us all about how your life can flip in an instant...

Agreed, his agent didn't come across great in that interview. The cynic in me thinks that he was more interested in protecting his own interests than Richard Keoghs. Especially when you factor in that RK is far and away the highest wage earner on that agents client list. The rest of his clients combined probably don't even earn anywhere near what Keogh earns, or should I say earnt.

This!
That interview with his agent on Talksport showed how far out of touch with reality his agent is/was. Mix this in with a bit of arrogance/ignorance to accept the reality of the situation and maybe even a sense of entitlement and you have the current situation.

We don’t welcome the situation that has arisen and we feel terrible for RK; but there is a reality that cannot be ignored. I’m doubtful that RK’s appeal will be successful but I suspect the impasse will be fixed by both sides coming together and reaching a compromise. I suspect that Derby will keep the current offer of a reduced contract on the table and I suspect RK will eventually accept it realising that he now has to work at building a future for himself as a former footballer. 

I really hope that is the case. It is as it should be but sadly when agents, money, story mongers, ego and spongers are in the sidelines, then gentlemanly behaviour and wise council tends to get thrown out of the window.
