The Who's
Who of Derby County
Gerald Mortimer
In the years since Derby County played their first
game in the Football League in 1888, hundreds of footballers
have pulled on a Rams shirt to represent the club
in first-class competitive matches. In this revised
and updated edition of his classic reference work,
Gerald Mortimer has detailed the careers of every
single one of those players, whether they are household
names or men who made only a handful of appearances
at the Baseball Ground or Pride Park.
The book is highly illustrated throughout, and various
statistics are included to supplement the career details
of the players. Derby’s all time top twenty
goalscorers appear, along with appearance statistics,
and managers of the club have their own section.
