Derby County:
Champions 1974-75
Michael Cockayne
Following the success of his first book, Derby
County: The Clough Years, Michael Cockayne revisits
the Baseball Ground of the mid-seventies and the management
era of Dave Mackay. With the use of extended match
reports for every competitive match the club played,
action photographs and interviews from the star players,
this new history retraces the 1974-75 First Division
season in remarkable detail.
Set against the backdrop of managerial changes, big
name transfers and shock results, every twist and
turn of the campaign is captured on a month by month
basis. As fans celebrate the 30th anniversary of their
team’s triumph, Michael Cockayne’s book
is the perfect way to remember Derby’s momentous
rise from mid-table mediocrity to eventual title glory.
For football fans across the country it will rekindle
memories of players past and of the glamour of the
beautiful game in the 1970s.
