Samenvatting:

Derby County's rise between 1971 and 1975 remains one of the most remarkable periods in English football history. The Derby Glory Years tells the independent, fact-based story of the Rams' transformation from ambitious contenders into champions of England. From the intensity of the Baseball Ground to the leadership of Brian Clough, Peter Taylor, and Dave Mackay, this book follows the players, matches, and turning points that defined a golden era. It covers the 1971-72 First Division title, the unforgettable 1972-73 European Cup run, the shock of October 1973, and the triumphant return to the summit in 1974-75. Written in a polished narrative style, this book brings together the names, dates, results, and milestones that shaped Derby County's greatest age. It is a story of two league titles, European nights, boardroom drama, loyal supporters, and a team that changed what Derby believed it could become.
