The greatest ever Derby County games
Derby County 4 Charlton Athletic 1, FA Cup Final, April 27, 1946
The first postwar Final is a classic, with Bert Turner, of Charlton Athletic, scoring at both ends in the last five minutes of normal time. Derby assert their authority in extra time with two goals from Jack Stamps and one from Peter Doherty.
Derby County 4 Real Madrid 1, European Cup second round, first leg, October 22, 1975
Charlie George, a recent signing from Arsenal, records a hat-trick that features two penalties and a spectacular long-range strike. David Nish scores the other goal for Derby but the English champions would be knocked out after losing the second leg 5-1.
Derby County 8 Tottenham Hotspur 2, top division, October 16, 1976
Seeking their first league win of the season at the ninth attempt having lost 5-1 to Birmingham City in their previous game, Derby lead 3-2 at half-time. They extend that to 8-2 between the 59th and 74th minutes. Bruce Rioch scores four for a side inspired by Charlie George and Leighton James.
Manchester United 2 Derby County 3, top division, April 5, 1997
United are on course to retain their title but are undone by the elusive, long-striding Paulo Wanchope, who scores for Derby along with Ashley Ward and Dean Sturridge.
