Maybe the local library has a copy, try before you buy? I didn't say that you've not read it either?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you quoted Ella's entire post with just a thumbs up, so that when I selected the text to quote, it came up as you. Careless of me.

PendineRam Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'm half way through it, great read and, as a Ram, knowing the history of my club has been quite emotional! Thoroughly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I think that I'll be more interested in trading about the beginnings than past glories. Maybe. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodypecker Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 3 hours ago, Ken Tram said: Is it definitely worth £16.79 (on Amazon) just to confirm the date! ? Although is it a good read? The blurb says that it lists every player from 1884 - 1888, which didn't sound overly exciting! But, it also mentions that Derby were the youngest club to be founder members of the football League in 1888, and I imagine that how that came about could be quite a tale. I guess that I should buy it. Costs less than one match day ticket. Yes a fine book, a lot of historic photos alongside the fascinating story of the club's formation. Being involved in the heritage stuff myself, (not that any of it has been possible for many months in person!) I do hold author-signed copies of Peter Seddon's book, so PM me if interested!
