JakeDCFC Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Since I'm a new fan I was wondering if some of you guys could give me some suggestions of some of Derby's greatest matches or classic matches that you think is worth a watch. Have a lot of free time coming up this next week and was thinking of spending a lot of it doing this, but i do not really know when to start. Figure it'll also help me get more acquainted with the club's history alongside the vast googling I have been doing of course haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby Vs forest...look for the history of games then put it into the search bar...70s 80s 90s and more. Classic games... forest 1 Derby 2...we only had 10 men Derby 4 forest 2...the coffee cup game Derby 4 forest 1...forest were riding high in the old division 1 Derby 5 forest 0...a whooping Forest 2 Derby 3...after being 2-0 down Forest 0 Derby 3...just another day 😁 JakeDCFC, RadioactiveWaste and Ram-a-lama fa fa fa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAmster Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Derby 4 Real Madrid 1 Big wins against Liverpool, Arsenal 4 and 5 nil FA Cup replay Spurs 3 Derby 5. Then there's League games against Spurs too where we scored a 5, a 6 and an 8. Watney Cup Final against ManU, we won 4-1. FA Charity Shield v West Ham at Wembley in 1975. 2-0 goals by Roy Mac and Zak One classic where, although highlights were shown on BBC, I don't think there's footage online anywhere, is Derby 0 Leeds 0, early 70s midweek game under the lights at the BBG. No goals but what an absolute cracker of a game. Both keepers were excellent on the day and it could easily have been 8-8. My Dad didn't want to watch the highlights as 0-0 is always a crap, boring game. I persuade him to watch and he was glad he did.

Poynton ram Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Home game against Palace to secure promotion to the Prem in 1996, Man Utd 2, Derby 3 1997 (the Wanchope game), Derby 3 Arsenal 0, first year at PP I think, there was a game at PP v Southampton where we won 4.0 from memory and I missed the goals as I had to leave early to go on holiday. In those early PP years under Jim we could beat anyone JakeDCFC and maydrakin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobdeBilder Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 1968 Derby v Chelsea league cup replay. Went a goal down then scored three in the second half to win. 30 odd thousand in the BBG sounded more like. 90 thousand. Never heard Rams fans louder, before or since. This was the start of the glory years. CROSSWORD, Ziga Zaga10, oldtimeram and 4 others 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the rest of the suggestions though 😁 classic east midlands derby wins seem like a great place to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the suggestions, the wins against Arsenal sound like fun watches. I will try to find any type of video on the 0-0 against Leeds though sounds intriguing the way u described it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank u for the other suggestions though, I have all the time in the world next week and a house to myself so this'll be a great way to pass the time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 If you’re a new fan then Leeds 2-4 Derby would be a perfect start. Being able to see a lot of the players still being current, plus some big names in there on both sides will be good. Read about the context of the season, Bielsa’s presentation and Lampard, spygate etc. That game was the definition of not being able to write a more perfect script. We didn’t follow it up with a win in the final, but that’s as good as it gets in our very recent history.

Yeah the 18/19 play-offs. I don’t know how old you are but I thought as new fan, watching games in the modern day might help you feel more connected. As good and successful as the 1970s were, it was 50 years ago. I wasn’t born then, I know the names of the players and the big games but I don’t really associate with that them, football was a completely different game then. They show re-runs of The Big Match on ITV4 in the UK a lot, you might be able to watch some with a VPN if you want to get an overview of what English football used to be like. Another good one to find would be Derby 4-1 Brighton from 2013/14 and just fall in love with George Thorne for the very first time.

Chopper Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 97-98 season very enjoyable, as the first season at Pride Park. Man U very lucky to get a 2-2 draw, beat eventual champions Arsenal 3-0, Southampton 4-0 (it was 0-0 after 76 minutes iirc), catch some home highlights from that year (avoid Leeds and Leicester though), I think we were the last league team in England to lose at home that season? May be wrong though. I'd imagine quite a few Derby fans between the age of 35 and 50 will look back on that season as right up there amongst the best they've had.

ColonelBlimp Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The home game v Fulham where they had to win to go up and we needed a point to stay up, something like that. The crowd on the touchline tackling the Fulham player always makes me chuckle. Can't remember the year, 80 something. JakeDCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Derby v Southampton playoff second leg at pride park. Crazy game and idiakez wrote his way into Derby legend when he blazed his penalty over in the shootout. ziggyram59, JakeDCFC and alexxxxx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
