CBRammette Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I was thinking the other day we used to have a brilliant double cassette called the Derby County story or something. May have been for centenary but it was great and just what OP needs! Does anyone know if you can still get it anywhere? Would buy again if Radio Derby still had audio and could reissue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 There are/were videos on YouTube/RamsTV entitled something like: "Derby County Season 19xx-19xx". They probably covered the 80s when more matches were on TV. There was a VHS called "match of the seventies: Derby county" that covered a significant period in the club's history. Otherwise @LeedsCityRam provides YouTube links in his excellent anniversary thread. In addition to Clough and Taylor's autobiography, I'd recommend that by Roy McFarland.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 There was a BBC documentary in 1984 highlighting our decline from champions to division 3. Think it was narrated by Tony Francis. Ends with all the coaches leaving for Bournemouth on the first day of the season in Division 3 and showing what great support we had. That would be worth a watch if you could find it.

That would be worth a watch if you could find it. Tony Francis' book with Anton Ward "and There Was Some Football Too" is an excellent history of the first 100 years and even includes a tantalising Foreword by Kevin Keegan suggesting that "wherever Arthur Cox goes, I'll be there." It was bollo, of course, but it gave us a buzz at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintosh Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Anton Rippon produced a series on Radio Derby of the glory days, lots of interviews, a must-have for many Rams fans. I'm pretty sure they are holding a 50th anniversary of this gathering soon, old players, Anton and staff invited, they may re-run the series because of this? Derby County: A Complete Record is still available on Amazon, every result, pen pictures, potted history etc for a fiver. IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two cassette tapes (four sides) titled "The Derby County Story" was a limited edition recorded in March 1985 by Speech-Plus Recordings Ltd and published by BBC Radio Derby. Written by Anton Rippon, compiled & produced by Ashley Franklin and narrated by Mike Ingham, all very knowledgeable re DCFC , and with memorable contributions from many of the star players. For many of us "Alberts"(!), there is a remarkable quote on the cassette cover by Sir Brian himself - "The Derby County supporters don't need any message from me. They know they are as loyal, if not more loyal, than anybody in the country. Its unfortunate that the Club has slipped into the Third Division, but the attendances at the moment are a bouquet for themselves ". Still as true now as it was then.
