Manchester United 9 Southampton 0 tonight, not their favourite date...

Cracking atmosphere with a packed out away end. We were rather fortunate to get through as Telford came back to 2.2, then hit the inside of the post before Bobby grabbed the winner. We played them again a couple of years later and it was slightly more comfortable (6.1). 

1 February 1984, Derby County 3 Telford United 2, Davison 3, FAC.

My vivid memory of the crowd at that ManU game was hearing a loud bang and a bloke screaming as the flask he had in his pocket was crushed by the crowd swell.

25 January 1969, Bury 0 Derby County 1, O'Hare, 1st in Div 2.

I was just having a watch of this. My fb memories from 2010 mentioned feeling too tense and then there was a COYR at the final whistle ?
We were certainly a threat from set pieces that day!
P.s how good does that crowd noise sound? ?

Benty scored for both us and them didn't he? 

Article in the Chelsea programme about the previous weeks trouble v Leeds which lead to the closure of the Ossie terrace, which meant no-one was brained by the hail of seats from above!

Remember it well after beating Forest in the previous round, defeating Chelsea and going out to a Norman Whiteside goal against Manchester United in Round 5.
We left the game a few minutes early as my dad could see trouble brewing in the Ossie end. Quite shocked to see how many seats Chelsea ripped out on the news later. If memory serves, I think Leeds did something similar the previous week.

Another memory I have from the Bury game is speaking to a lad who was a Spurs supporter and had come up from London to see Dave Mackay playing for us. Mackay suferred a head injury and had to be substituted. He said 'He's got a cut behind his ear' to me in his cockney accent which I was totally unfamiliar with and I heard 'He's got a cat behind his ear'. I spent ages trying to work out why Dave would have a cat behind his ear!

Unfriendly and noisy lot the Burnley fans that day. Not many Rams scarves worn in town that day lol

Football games are a great way to organise your memories. I have no idea what I did on any day in January 1969 apart from the 25th when, like you, I was in Bury to watch the Rams.
Only two memories remain from that day. I can remember waiting for a bus, I think, after the game near the Bury ground when a bus full of rival fans went by. There was a bit of light hearted booing but nothing unpleasant. The second memory was of standing in the corridor of a train listing to the conversation of some men who'd got seats. One of them was reading a paper and he exclaimed with astonishment that Swindon had scored 11 or something like that. His friends all started laughing when he realised that he had misread Swinton the rugby league team.
I don't know why pointless memories like that have stuck in my mind while everything useful has long been forgotten.
 

27 January 2017, Derby County 2 Leicester City 2, Bent, Bryson, FAC.

24 January 1976, Derby County 1 Liverpool 0, Davies, FAC.

26 January 1946, Derby County 1 WBA 0, Doherty, FAC.
First season after the war, FAC played over 2 legs, except Wembley final. Derby County beat Luton, WBA, Brighton, Aston Villa, Birmingham to reach the final.
Then 75 years ago won the FAC for the only time, Derby County 4 Charlton Athletic 1.
edit, the SF was also one leg but needed a replay.
