Big Rob Hindmarch Rip, great captain, not fast but could read the game very well, good leader, died to young, 1989/91 Back to black and white, great shirt, great times !

1989/91 away shirt, the number 10 shirt was worn mainly by Trevor Hebberd.

Michael “Bruce” Forsyth, what a player ! What a shirt ! What a team! Good days ! 

The tin man, last season of the blue and white, the end of the most successful period in our clubs history!

After years of work and research here it is the Derby County shirt worn in the inaugural season of 1884 by the pioneers of our club, brought to you by @phillowe1 & @DCFCEst1884 the Cambridge Blue, Amber and Chocolate Brown the first colours of the Rams.

Looks like a bus seat. 

He’s here he’s there he’s asked us not to swear John O’Hare John O’Hare!?

Peter Taylor’s Official FA blazer and tie from when he and Brian Clough took charge of the England Youth team! Would England have waited 55 years for football to come home if they had of been given the top job? Doubt it, Entrusted to safe keeping by his daughter Wendy Dickinson.

A very special piece of DCFC history from our most successful period, from the greatest management partnership in football ever, the man who spotted the players to make our team ! Peter Taylors club blazer & Tie from 1972/74 up to when he resigned, entrusted to us at the Rams Heritage Trust by his daughter @WendyDickinson5,

I don't think you can infer that purely from them taking that image down. It should have been removed as soon as they sacked Cocu. No point having a massive picture of his face up there if we've sacked him.

 

I think we are having one of these installed !

I'm perhaps clutching and straws, but I'm hoping that the american connection is a sign... As others have mentioned the store isn't actually meant to be online until tomorrow, I imagine that they've just uploaded last year's kits as a test / template prior to being replaced with the new stock. 

I think we will be singing the star spangled banner very soon ! ?

Afternoon chaps and chapettes. Apologies for raking up old ground like a mildly more forum-busting, acceptable version of the EFL, but for the next project I've got a chat with Igor Stimac this evening. Not sure how I've managed to convince him, but I'm not complaining.

If anyone has got any questions they want me to put forward to him (apart from does he have his boots and does he fancy buying a football club) just let me know either below or over DM!

Was he genuinely injury prone or did he just not fancy it for many of the games ? 84 games in four years with a very chequered consistency.

Another piece of old tat, Paul Blades no2 Centenary season shirt from 1984/85, a season spent in the old third division but it was all to change soon with the arrival that season of King Arthur ?♥️

If only someone created a book compiling the history of Derby County kits, could do a count to see how many kits had blue shorts, how many had black.

That way we could see which we have worn the most and become the undisputed colour of Derby County! 

Marvellous idea @David ? just had a quick look and somebody has already done it ! Looks like a quality production, full of insight and the answer to that age old question !

A friend of mine who works with Umbro - the one who told me about the pink last year - has mentioned that the home kit has blue in it this year. He was very cagey, so no further details other that, but could it be back to blue shorts?

Yes to blue ?

It will be announced with the new take over, it’s all done and the video has been made.

Robin van der Laan ooh ar, Robin Van de Laan ooh ar! The inspirational captain, tough tackler and a good talker and that header at the far post at the Ossie End !

Oooh ah Paul McGrath ! Made his debut in a replica shirt, class player at the end of his career, worn down by injuries, knackered knees and personal problems but gave it all every Saturday that season for us ! 

Alan Durban’s official club jacket used on European visits and of course the collection of the first division championship trophy and medal.

Mr Derby County, player, manager, assistant manager, director.

The 1977/78 “Argentina” away shirt !

The Professor ! The thinking mans footballer, the Ace ! Another international star brought to us by the bald eagle , we had some fantastic scouting staff in that era !

Just trying to picture in my head where that wall is and if it was part of the BBG. I am assuming it was on the Ley side of the ground? But I don't remember that being part of the stand. Maybe the wall between the ground and Leys?

the origional entrance to the ley stand when it was first build and the popside before that, you would go through there and then up some stairs on the side of the stand.

The Champions of England once graced that  !
