    Bob The Badger reacted to LeedsCityRam in 1971-72 season scrapbook   
    As we're all aware, this season marks the 50th anniversary of our first League title. Had an idea for a while to mark it by doing a walk through the season as it happened 50 years ago (rather than just next May) - sort of a variation on the 'Derby on this day thread'
    Whilst its stating the obvious to suggest a first title changed a club, this season in particular acted as a benchmark for Derby. It was the first season we had the Ram that we still see on our shirts today, it set the platform for our European Cup exploits the following season (and Brian Clough's obsession with landing the trophy after the Juventus semi-final) & our later title in 1974-75. It is also the breakthrough season which still affords Derby a lot of respect nationally from fans of a certain age & one often remembered for the nail-biting ending.
    I wasn't around 50 years ago so my efforts will be confined to finding Youtube footage (if it exists), match reports, memorabilia & updated league tables as the season gets going. Where it probably needs fleshing out is with contributions from those who were there at the particular matches - what do you remember about particular games, what were the away fans like (good & lets face it, bad in a lot of instances) & any other memories/match rituals of the time
    Anyroad, enough wittering from me. Exactly 50 years ago today we kicked off 1971-72 against Manchester Utd at the Baseball Ground. Youtube highlights below but we were actually 0-2 down in our opener against the Man Utd side of Law, Best & Charlton...

    We shouldn’t sell Sibley because potentially he can be something special, young lads are going to make mistakes, on Tuesday I think it was Morrison who had a right go at Sibley because of him losing the ball stupidly and Salford were about to break big time on us, which could have finished us off in the game.
      I don’t know if he has been told he can leave, but hopefully Rooney can nurture his talent at our club.

    It’s my wife’s birthday soon and she’s really difficult to buy for, so I asked what she wanted “Get me something silky”
    No doubt this tin of emulsion will be the wrong colour for her.
