Derby County was one of just ten clubs to compete in every season of the English football league system, with all but four of those being in the top two divisions, and was one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888.
Vs Stoke City
On his 21st birthday, Bird curled a 25-yard shot into the top corner to save the Rams from a 12-point deduction after declaring on Friday that they would go into administration.
Curtis Davies met Graeme Shinnie’s floating free-kick ahead of Stoke goalkeeper Josef Bursik and hooked a header into an empty net moments later.
City equalised against the run of play when Mario Vrancic teed up former Derby midfielder Tom Ince for his first league goal since July 2020, but the hosts held on for their first home win of the season despite late pressure.
Football Club
William Morley started the club as an extension of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1884. Its competitive heyday was in the 1970s, when it won the First Division twice and competed in four major European competitions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals on four occasions and winning a slew of smaller medals.
In addition, the club was a powerful force in the interwar years, coming second in the league thrice in the 1930s and winning the first FA Cup after the war in 1946.
Since the 1890s, the club’s home colours have been black and white. The Rams is the team’s moniker, which pays homage to the First Regiment of Derby Militia, who had a ram as its mascot.
The song “The Derby Ram” was also selected as the club’s regimental song. They had a long-standing rivalry with Nottingham Forest, who they competed against in the East Midlands derby.
