2021 FA Cup Shirt! The 75th anniversary of us winning the Cup and to remember Reg an Honorary Freeman of the City of Derby in recognition of his outstanding achievements with DCFC & Grass Roots football. Reg Harrison Fa Cup Winner, Man of the people, Derby born and bred!

Derby County’s home shirts for the opening match of 2020/21 against Reading were embroidered with a special BBG125 marque to commemorate 125 years since Derby’s first game as permanent tenants at the club’s former home, The Baseball Ground. which officially fell on 14th September. 

It was 1895 when the Rams permanently moved to the Baseball Ground. Record goalscorer Steve Bloomer scored a double against then league champions Sunderland to secure Derby a 2-0 win that afternoon the newspaper report from the day is below.

This shirt was worn on that day by Irish international Jason Knight who has already made 82 appearances and scored 9 goals since his debut in August 2019 and captained the team in Wayne Rooneys first game as manager, he has also made 8 full international appearances for the Republic of Ireland, a rising star.

Hey @loweman2, does that mean my 40’s/50’s style shirt I bought from them many years ago could become a bit of a collectors item ?

yes, its never gonna be worth hundreds but you cant buy it any more and it was a good replica any way, so deffo keep hold of it.

BTW - any idea why Derby are the only club in the Championship who do not have replica shirts for sale on Toffs? Did we fall out with them? There are a few other clubs who also haven't got kit on there (Leicester, ManUre, Arsenal, West Ham, Doncaster) so maybe?

yes we took the licence off them a few years ago after toffs refused to pay the prices that we wanted

Fab - thanks Loweman - I will take the advice. I have a decent budget - and it’s a signature piece I am looking for to finish off my office. Ironically I did have a really nice framed match worn Charlie George shirt (unsigned) but gave it to my nephew (who’s name is Charlie George) 18 years ago when he was born. How I secretly regret that show of generosity now. He is a rams fan now though - so every cloud!

Excellent!

Is Malcolm doing kids training now instead of sell cars?

 

Yes he has started his own training and development, goes to schools and runs his own classes after school up in Middlesbrough, this is the third one Jordan has been to with him in Derby, good money to be made but he is good as he keeps the numbers down, this time there were ten of them for the two days, previous one in mickleover was three days.

As someone else has suggested, Loweman, you should take up the mighty pen because you clearly have really good writing skills.

What a truly fantastic post, and a fantastic gesture from you, @loweman2.  You should feel rightfully proud.

 

I'm assuming that on-pitch presentation never materialised (?).

Was it ever made public what the hold up with that was all about?

 

Top, top thread.  No idea how I missed it first time around, although it was started the day before Muckerette's birthday, so maybe she was draining some of my attention away!  Selfish to the core, that one!  ?

 

??

thank you mate, somebody had liked a comment on it and that made me think it was time to resurect it, it was a real privelidge to be involved in, it wasnt of course all me but i never did get to the bottom of why it was suddenly hushed up, the club rang me and said that they couldnt tell me why, im not sure if it may have been something to do with not opening the flood gates for so many more medals to be awarded, maybe the FL approached the club, who knows but jim got his medal.

@loweman2 superb work. Really looking forward to getting mine.

Interesting variation on the front row 2 chaps to the right of Spilsbury - has a blue sleeve on the right and a brown on the left in contrast to the rest of the team. Any idea why!? 

to be honest @Ellafella i think that was just george silvers colouring, 

Well there was a decent amount of intrest I’m pleased to say, we did 30, could have been a lot more but wanted to keep it a bit special for those who have purchased them, got to say that the result is outstanding! A really great piece of work, great quality, bespoke tailoring those who brought one have got a little piece of Derby County history to pass down the family over the years, some great research started by Peter Seddon and Phil Martin and carried on by Jason Shardlow and then myself and produced in its stunning glory by Richard Wilkinson.

Worth a re read

Top tip! Mrs Sagan is a Gooner. I've just had a great idea for her birthday treat...

You will love it, make sure you include the museum, it’s what I would love to do at Derby, it’s small and compact and is based 100% on the history of the club not just the trophies that they have won, Charlie is a brilliant host and will sign anything, at the end you sit down in the press room and he does a Q&A, when we went it was shortly after the sam rush affair at Derby, Charlie said that sam was a friend of his and not everything at Derby was as it seemed, Sam had information that could shake the club, at the time I just thought it was sour grapes but now it would appear there was some truth in it, make sure you take a few things to get signed !

Doing the tour of the emirates and more importantly the museum is a great thing to do when in London, get Charlie as your guide and you will get two hours of some of the most fabulous Derby County stories you could imagine, he loves Derby and has a lot to tell you.

Went last night. Great stuff. Well performed; very professional & great scenery. Also lovely exhibition of @loweman2’s shirts and other memorabilia. Jamie T features large & is very good. 

It was nice to be able to help out in a small way, would like to have taken more and set them up better but the theatre didn’t have enough mannequins or torsos, but it was good to get a few of them on show, hopefully there will be a lot more in the next year from the Rams Heritage, the play itself is very good, a great production in our little theatre put together by our own local talent, this should give Jamie the confidence to now take on more projects, the city of Derby will certainly get behind him and it will be good for us.

That was great viewing...thanks.

Just like to say...the numbers on the FA Cup final shirts were stitched on by my Nan, She had her false teeth broken in a fight in the Ram pub the week before and had to sell her old foot opperated sewing machine and had to hand sew them on.

Really ? Hell of a story if true and would need documenting in the book about the history of the shirts, at this stage I don’t know whether you are having a laugh or being serious, in that film clip they do look like your Nan was struggling if true ? ?? let me know @Unlucky Alf

Hi all. I am searching for a signed shirt, framed - ideally from the 70’s. All I can find is either Rooney, or a non football shirt signed by McFarland (would have been ideal otherwise).

Can anyone point me in the direction of opportunity? Loweram must know something, surely? ?

did you see my reply @Igorwasking, i was going to ask what "wasking" was ?

Quality thead Leeds City Ram , my old man revelled in this era but his memory ain't what it used to be, this match day account fills in the gaps for me and puts a smile on his face as he remembers the good old days. Nice one mate

That’s what it’s all about, forum members taking the time to help others to remember the good times and to educate those that were not around, keeping the heritage and history alive ! Good work @LeedsCityRam❤️
