Synopsis

ON 27 April 1946, Derby County won the FA Cup. It was the first Cup Final since the end of the Second World War, the Rams’ first appearance at the Empire Stadium, and the first time in their 62-year history that they had lifted the trophy. Through interviews with the Cup-winning team, the newspapers of the day, including match reports on every cup-tie on the road to Wembley, and fascinating photographs, The Day That Derby Won The Cup tells the dramatic story of that epic season. Read about: The midnight taxi dash to sign Raich Carter; The strike threat by Rams players; The injured players who missed the Final; The pub landlord who took over as manager; The lifting of the gypsies’ curse; The row over ticket allocations The civic dinner that never was; The storm when the Rams refused to play for British troops. The Day That Derby Won The Cup is a must for every Rams fan who treasures their club’s history and this unique moment in it.
