John Gregory’s no 10 shirt from the division three promotion season, he was brought in by Arthur Cox to add some flair, he had been playing for England the year before and he dropped down from the third division to the first, he went on to become captain but he was the midfield maestro of the team, proper classy player !

This idea that no red should feature in a Derby kit is pathetic really. Forest have had as an away kit a white top and black shorts. It's not as if we're going to go with a full red and white ensemble. 

Red and white was our home kit colours way before black and white, Steve Bloomer scored many of his goal in the old Red & White ! Come on you reds !

I reckon it might be a small detail on the shirt which is that colour rather than the full shirt 

or maybe not the away shirt ?

Hello, i had a ride on my bike at the weekend and headed down to the site of the Baseball Ground. Where the artwork bit is, there appears to be an original wall still standing. doesn't anyone know which bit of the ground this was?  

It’s that wall, you can still see the red paint on the pillar !

Have you ever come across this shirt with this sponsor @loweman2?

Cheers

Yes mate it was something puma did, calico means large cat or “puma” if I remember correctly, I think that the considered it instead of using puma wording

@loweman2 Why did the sponsor change mid-season and did Osca go bust? Hence no manufacturers mark?

Both sponsors were maxwell owned print companies so you can only imagine, sportsweek was a new sports magazine that came out though so it was obviously to advertise that, and yes osca went belly up and we must have got the shirts cheap, they must have been already in production.

Mark Wallingtons shirt who was number one choice goalkeeper up until his injury in April, Bobby Davisons shirt from the first half of the season and Phil Gees from the second half, Division Two champions and back to the big time, great days under Arthur Cox and back to back promotions!

Full kit from 1985/876 oh Bobby Bobby ! Promotion from division three !

A few of them together.

A special signed worn shirt of the inspirational and top professional Curtis Davies.

What a season he has had in every way, easy player of the season, been a real leader to the younger lads, scored goals shown class, played in every match and a top lad who always has time for the fans !

A class act.

Well when @Quangy and @loweman2get bidding, the skies the limit.

I may have got a tad carried away ! Phone won’t stop ringing, I have tried to apologise but they are having none of it !

@loweman2do you know why Kevin never appears to go to these events? Is it because he’s shy or moved on in his life or has he fallen out with the club/players? I for one would love him to be there on Saturday. 

I think it is a little bit of all of that, I think that he is shy and I think that he has moved on but in a good way, derby county will always be in his blood, I think that there are a couple of underlying issues but predominantly I just don’t think that it appeals to him anymore, he showed when I met up with him that he was happy to sit for a couple of hours on a one to one basis and talk with passion about his career and his love for the people of Derby, the same with Colin B, I would expect them both to be there on Saturday though, it was nice to see that Ron Webster made it, 

Really was a great night, the players and all staff were mixing and loving it aswell, a good party atmosphere and nearly all of them made a commitment that if they were wanted they were available, would be unfair to comment on the ones who didn’t sound so sure. Mr Rooney was great as always ! And to see the legends assembled all bar two was humbling !

Anybody know which ones were there?

And which ones will be there on Saturday?

 

No Kevin or Colin B, the rest were there!

A lovely little addition to the collection from the promotion season of 1985/86 the Osca keepers shirt worn by Mark Wallington & Eric Steele, a real team of quality pros most of who went on to be champions and get promoted again the following season !
a great time to be following the team home and away, 1989s football was a bit special ! A proper near death experience and a come back to top them all.

No I hadn’t seen that particular one but have seen a similar one previously, really doesn’t look right like that does it, well done to the person who selected to go for the one that we did ! 

Steve Cherry was a good keeper but will always be remembered for that clanger v Plymouth in the FA cup, great Patrick shirt.

1989/90 season, shirt worn by Paul Goddard, nice use of the yellow and blue again, a team that included Shilton, Wight, McMinn and Saunders

The great team of 1985/86 who under Arthur Cox got promoted from the old third division! What a journey that started !

Paul Kitson, leading scorer 1992/93 for the rams, lovely shirt with Umbro detail woven into the fabric, played 64 competitive matches that season and seven consecutive away wins ! #SaveDerbyCounty #dcfcfans

The greatest player of my generation! Our Kevin Hector,  Never been another one since, brought the Popside to life ! Bobby Davison,
