Description
Derby County Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about the Rams. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats and facts. Heard the one about the player who went on strike in extra time because he claimed he was only contracted to play 90 minutes? How about the fishing trawler named in the club's honour? Or the future Bishop of Egypt and Sudan who turned out for the Rams? Do you know who first wore contact lenses for Derby and England? How Cloughie planned to make the Rams play like the national side? Or which players marketed their own board game in the 1970s? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any Rams fan who holds the riches of the club's history close to their heart.
