27th March 2010..Derby 1 Leicester 0..a wonderful own goal. 
 

Henry Newton’s shot seemed to swerve all over the place, great goal.  

Haha, just had a flashback to a bit of a fracas outside Smethwick mosque that day before the match....small group of Derby and West Brom having a brawl whilst being observed by a few of the mosque faithful. It all seems a bit surreal now wondering what they were thinking watching a dozen drunk English gentlemen in broad daylight squaring up at the foot of the mosque steps. 

26 March 1994, WBA 1 Derby 2, Johnson, Simpson.

On this day March 23rd 1946.

Saturday 23rd March 1946
Rams v B'Ham City
FA Cup Semi Final. 
At:  Hillsborough. 
Att:  65,013 
Rams get off to a flyer, with a 4th minute goal from Raich Carter, but Mulraney grabs an equaliser on 59 minutes, and the two teams will need to replay in 4 days time, at Maine Road, Manchester, for a chance to face Charlton in the final, after they beat Bolton 2-0 in their semi final at Villa Park.
 
 

22nd March 2014...
A day to savour...
?????
 
 

On 21st March 1973 Derby beat Spartak Trnava  2-0, to go through 2-1 on aggregate to reach the semi final of the European Cup.

Fancy a coffee, anyone?
March 20th 2004...
 
 

I remember being at this game and the pace Barnes showed for his goal was unreal. I nearly pissed myself laughing at Kevin McNaughton pumping his arms and legs through custard trying to get back to within a mile ot Giles ?

Derby County 3 - 0 Leicester City
March 18 1972
A great day too because I was born as well.

March 15th 1969 Derby County 1 Huddersfield town 0 Roy Mac header from hinton’s corner.Not a particularly stand out game but it was my first and 52 years later I’m still going to matches with my son and grandson.

Happy days. 
beating notts and a great reminder of what it’s like with a crowd in the stadium
 

I used to work in Barclays Bank opposite the Blind Beggar in the late 80s. Used to go in there every night after work...didn’t see Ronnie though ?

Did they have optics in that pub?

One year ago today drove down to London to stay in an hotel the day before the Millwall game only to hear on the radio on the way down that all the games had been cancelled.Spent Saturday afternoon in the blind beggar pub.

13th March 2012.
The Buxton Bullet... Not a keeper in the world is stoppin' this beauty...
 
 

9 March 1957, Carlisle 1 Derby 3, Brown 2, Woodhead, not many wins on this day, Derby champions of div 3 north.

Doubt it, both those guys are in their 80s.

I don't know why, but I immediately associated his name with this guy..... 

?

Loved Baiano and Eranio, two top class players, lucky to have seen them in Rams colours.

Great memories of Idiakez. Would love him in today’s team
