Identity & place
What this club is really about
Derby grew from the county cricket club into a football club beside a foundry and railway workforce, then became champions of England twice. The Baseball Ground supplied mud, crowded stands and nights such as the win over Real Madrid. Clough and Taylor brought a title and a bitter split. Later supporters faced fresh arguments over who should run and protect Derby during the 1984 crisis, ownership protests in the 2000s and administration in 2021-22.
