Never gets old does it! 

My all time favourite season watching the Rams was 1986/87, great times as a teenager And great times for our football club, my all time favourite game was that last game of the season v Plymouth where we cemented or position as League Champions.
My visitor today was none other than the joint spearhead of our attack who was always scoring goals for Derby ..Philip Gee, he has very kindly entrusted me to look after his shirt from that season and that he wore in that last game, complete with stains from the day and that season, that now sits proudly with Bobby Davison’s shirt from that season and also the second division championship winners medal ! What a trio ! Also mark wallingtons shirt from the season, it’s like instant time travel back to 1987 ! Oh what a time to be alive ! 
Massive thanks to Phil and another massive shirt from our history preserved for future generations of Derby County fans !

All hell would break loose with Roony’s 32!

one of my favourite Rams players ever , what we would give for an Archie Gemmill type player in our midfield at the moment

Another very special shirt that has been rescued and given a full clean and restoration, I’ve got to say I am well pleased with what I’ve done, it had been left to die but now will have a new lease of life, this is the only shirt owned by Derby County believe it or not, it had three inch nails going right through it and had been held in place with rusty industrial staples, full of holes and rust.
i have fully restored it and got it ready for reframing
i am proud to say that it will be going in pride of place in the new captains club at Pride Park.
Archie Gemmill’s 1975 Charity Shield no 8 shirt.
a shirt from our magnificent past.
 
 

Nice little reply from the man Dave, will hopefully lead to more.

Its simplicity is its beauty. Love the red coq in the Le Coq Sportif logo.
Biley & Swindlehirst were a great forward combo in the same way that Marriott & Martin can be. 

Why dont we the fans organise an annual dinner and invite these legends along - to celebrate them and the special place they will always have in our hearts?
Im sure a suitably lavish location could be found and I for one would gladly pay for a ticket plus an extra supplement to ensure our legends are celebrated year in year out while they are still with us.
