Millwall when was it played Don’t know without google, but probably 1968 where was it played. The Den what was the significance of the result Did it secure promotion to div 1? what was odd about the game Derby had to wear Millwall’s second strip due to colour clashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that's becoming less of an excuse these days! as a club with only a few important achievements its important to know them, problem is these days that we look less and less likely to win bugger all in the next 50 years so we have to know what happened in the last 50 years to tell our kids !! And before anybody says its not living in the past its knowing our proud heritage ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I was on google the other day looking for an old red away kit we wore once upon a time and found a photo of us playing QPR using their away kit, I just thought we had an absent minded kitman back in the day because I had already seen this photo a while back.

Pearl Ram Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 That’s not the one I was thinking about loweman, the one I saw (might have been on the toffs site) had a round neck and the old Rams head in white, can’t find it now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loweman2 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 It was a poor show from topps football cards the following year for Derbys first season in the top flight that they had our players in the wrong colours and the wrong teams shirts ! how did that get passed off ?

Ellafella Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I seem to remember us playing in a red away kit v Blackpool in the FA Cup circa 1978/79. My mind's eye has an image of Derek Hales in Umbro short sleeves with unfilled white Umbro diamonds down the edge. White shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
