Surprised not to see Martyn Waghorn v Sheffield Wednesday (May 2021) mentioned so far. Scored twice & hit the pass to Roberts for the other goal in the 3-3 draw that kept us up. He ran around like a man possessed all game & when subbed at the point of exhaustion, was still vocally encouraging the lads from the sidelines in the empty stadium.
Had we lost that match (and we were behind twice), we'd have been hit with the 21 point deduction in League One the following year & been struggling to keep out of League Two. His contribution that day was the best individual performance I can recall watching.

I was just watching now a season before how we so nearly lost our club how close I came to a mental break down that year was so hard sitting by knowing nrothing I could do but once I found about protest I had to fight for our club. Knowing only one line defence that was us. 
But then came in kircher gave us all false hope but then clows came in and saved us and also saved us. When I heard we been saved I just yelled we been saved in our back garden I sat crying with happiness tears and then I heard 10 houses doing the the same and then we are derby county we fight till the end and joined in and my mum came by me said I so happy for you even she support the lads even through she hates football and cant stand watching it she listens too it. 
She knows if derby lose I can be old bear with a saw head. I say to her if we fight and give there best I can take that but we they just give up that's when I get mad.
Look on youtube documentary it is called more than a game.
That's what my mum still tells me that I say no it is not it is more than a game life and death.
As my grandad were ever he is in bbg in sky above with brain clough and my grandma supported derby and how she was friends with brain.
She use tell me all the stories and how her dad use take her to the games must been at old race cause ground I use love listening to them. And how on mothers day she was back one day only as she passed away with alsamzers the next day she passed away and I miss her greatly.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Really pleased for Darren Moore.  Their fans is a completely different thing.  Racist abuse and wanting him sacked despite getting the most points they’ve ever had in a season.  They don’t deserve him.

I will second that. I was standing behind the Normanton End goal and in my mind's eye I can still see him racing with the ball towards the goal at the speed of light. I'm talking relatively. No pun intended.  Relative to players like Durban and Buxton. They were both quite skilful but to call them a bit slow is an understatement. Most defenders could give them a 20 yard start and still catch them. Hector was a totally new type of player. I'd never seen a Derby player run so fast with the ball under his control.
For me that Huddersfield game was the big bang in Derby's great success over the next decade.

1. McFarland v Benfica.  1972.
2.Mackay v Chelsea 1968.
3. Hector v Liverpool 1969.
4. George v Real Madrid 1975.
5. Micklewhite V Man Utd. 1989.

Kevin Hector's home debut vs Huddersfield. He was fantastic and although Alan Durban got a hattrick and Derby won 4-3, all the talk was about 'Zac', the King.
I can honestly say, "I was there".

I was kinda hoping the blue was hinting more to below the waist.  If my calcs are right, Mr Clowes was aged 2 to 20 ish, throughout our own "Blue period", so very much "Of that era"!
But yeah, this years graphics are more in line with your pic, and not the famous navy/dark blue of our most successful period to date, so maybe those blue shorts aren't coming back just yet, more's the pity!
 
 

I wish you still hadn't.

Let me explain the joke for those too young to remember......Carlton Palmer didn't have any skill either.
Other jokes in my repertoire:
"He's more deceptive than he looks"
"I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous"
So, those of you planning a staycation following that other thread.....it may be me performing at Butlins 😉

And George Best said:
Carlton Palmer can trap the ball further than I can kick it.

I've recounted this before but love this description....
"Darryl Powell is like Carlton Palmer but without the skill".  😆

I remember Sir Brian talking about his own goal scoring record and saying his goals per game ratio was even better than Jimmy Greaves's "and Jimmy was the best".
