I found them on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Derby_County_F.C._players George Collin is on there too 1927-35 so that narrows it down a little. Also Errington Keen 1930 - 37. Getting closer. Ooh, and Daly Duncan 1931-46, so between 1931 and1934 inclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agadirram Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 From the first list, these are the names that I recognise. All played for DCFC, mainly in the 1930`s except the last named who played before WW1 and is arguably the most famous player to represent the club. Errington Keen Dally Duncan Peter Ramage Freddie Jessop Jack Kirby Jack Nicholas Tommy Cooper Ralph Hann Jack Bowers Sammy Crooks Jack Barker Steve Bloomer who, as I said, played for DCFC before WW1 and who died in 1938. No doubt others will have more information for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably pretty collectable had a quick look on Hansons for you . Last Bloomer went for £70 alongside a few teammates but no picture of signature quality and this can make a big difference . Yours could be a bit of a rarer example as obviously done after he finished playing and signatures do change slightly over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found these signatures in a derby book, I was hoping someone could help me identify them And yeah they are all genuine I have more of them but I couldn't upload them all I have consulted the oracle and I think that you are looking at the 1933/34 season when most of those names formed the Derby County “squad”, a few of them went on to win the FA cup in 45/46, steve bloomer is a bonus added extra, he cemented his part of Derby folklore when he returned at the end of his career to become a general assistant at the BBG helping out with coaching but also painting the stands and carrying out general chores , he died in April 1938. Jack bowers was top scorer with 37 goals in the 33/34 season, Tommy Cooper (not that one) captained England three times that season, Jack bowers scored in six consecutive league games, still the only player to do this twice for Derby, and the double decker stand at the osmaston end opened for the first time. as for value the bloomer one could go for £70/£100, a lot of people cut them out and sell them as single autographs, not sure of the value of the whole page, at an auction if you had two bidders who wanted it perhaps £200. but with 27 signatures and one being steve bloomer and one being the captain who lifted the FA cup and sammy crooks cutting them up and selling singularly could be an option ?
