TigerTedd Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 In football terms very little:- Founder members of the league Highest cup final defeat Had the 'first superstar of football' First post war FA cup winners I believe we made the first £100k signing Twice champions of England Had England's most capped player playing for us when he broke the record Won the first Championship play off at the new Wembley Broke the record for lowest points achieves in top flight season Basically, for a 130 year existence...very little. If you mean what is the place famous for I would suggest you do a little research as we certainly have a lot more to be proud of than your sh1teh0le! A bit late to this party, I've been on hols. Bit wasn't football originally invented in Derbyshire with the Shrove tide games. I could be wrong, but that's what I was always told. Which means this forum, and nothing else to do with football, up to and including the World Cup, and forests two stars, would even exist if it wasn't for derby. I think that's a pretty significant claim to fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the version of football the modern game is based on originated in France, at least that's what I remember from an old VHS (kids, ask your Dad) of the Story Of The World Cup. I'm sure Wikipedia will correct me though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Wikipedia will correct me though... My understanding (and I read a terrific but long book a few years ago on the history of football and FIFA; need to retrieve it from a mare to recall the title) was the Association football was derived from an English street game, then codified in English public schools surprisingly late (after Australian football for instance which was codified in 1859 and, remarkably, is actually older in terms of the rules though both rugby and soccer were played long beforehand). Derby, however, only rated a few mentions. The first was that the reason derbies are so named relates to the neighbourhood street games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
