Product Description

For followers of the legendary Rams no phrase sums up the club more aptly than 'it could only happen at Derby County'. This hugely entertaining collection of strange but true tales shows exactly why. Through over one thousand fascinating nuggets of trivia - humorous, tragic, strange and utterly bizarre in turn - author and lifelong fan, Peter Seddon captures the very essence of the wierd and wonderful world of the incomparable Rams. Discover the awful truth about the severed head found at the Baseball Ground, find out which Rams player was immortalised in a feature film, when bad light stopped play, whose wife wrote racy novels, which Rams striker almost wished death on the entire squad, and why ace-winger Alan Hinton was dropped after the worst televised miss of all time. The entertaining stories and quirky snippets in "The Little Book of Derby County" are sure to amuse all football lovers, but in particular that special breed of fan who supports the redoubtable Rams through thick and thin.

Customer Reviews

Its just interesting
Recieved this book for Christmas off my mother, and its a really good read (only if your a Rams fan though).
Its not the usual stats that you get, but more the quirky facts, ie who has played for Derby with beards etc.
It also reminds you of all the events that have befallen this great club over the years......it could only happen at Derby - indeed!

I reccommend this book to any Derby fan.

Ramtastic
Great little book for the true Derby Fan. Some great stories, my two favourites being the 'Man from the sticks' and the 'Severed head'.
