rynny Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 As some may know, my grandad played a couple of games for the club back in the early 50s, he has been sorting through his stuff and come across a lot of pictures from his career. So over the next however long I will post them up, for anyone that is interested. Start with some squad photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Jackets and ties in the canteen, and that fry up looks good. Fascinating stuff. Great idea showing us these pics of the past.? Don't suppose you have the names to go with the pics, or we could play name that player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I love old sports photos. Every time I clear the loft it takes me ages. Sport is timeless. Next time you see an old person who's struggling, remember they were vibrant like the characters in these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Two things stand out there - looks like a 34 man squad. That's a lot when there's at most 1 sub. I suppose it was back when reserve teams were a significant thing. The second is, how on earth is Louis Sibley having lunch in the canteen in 51-52? I knew he was too good to be so young. Looks like he's actually a vampire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Great photos. I've been wondering what days were like for Derby back when we first announced the possible takeover, these pictures really help, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defence, I had a tender dropped on me on Friday which I have to submit tomorrow by 5.00PM so trying to keep one eye on the forum for 'critical updates' while furiously bashing out technical docs has me stretched. An all-nighter beckons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
