Derby's Greatest Captain?

Have your say on who is Derby County's greatest-ever captain!

As part of the 125th Anniversary celebrations of The Football League, supporters across the country are being given the chance to vote for their club’s greatest ever players, managers and matches.

In what is the biggest supporter vote ever undertaken by The Football League, votes will be run on a weekly basis on the Football League’s 125th anniversary microsite at: FL125.co.uk.

The first vote kicked off last month to pick Derby County’s greatest-ever manager – with Brian Clough, Jim Smith, Arthur Cox and Dave Mackay making the final four. Clough, unsurprisingly, is leading the way in the poll by some distance.

Then, in the final week of July, Rams fans were able to select four of Derby's greatest-ever seasons - with 1971/72, 1974/75, 1986/87 and 1995/96 the four most popular campaigns. The First Division title-winning campaign of 1971/72 is currently topping the poll.

Supporters can also vote for Derby’s greatest-ever player, with Steve Bloomer, Archie Gemmill, Roy McFarland, Kevin Hector and Igor Stimac the five selected players – and Hector is just edging the vote with Bloomer not far behind!

Now you can vote for Derby’s greatest captain, with the shortlist being:


Roy McFarland
Dave Mackay
Igor Stimac
Mark Wright


To cast your vote on which of the four players you believe is worthy of the accolade of Derby County’s greatest ever captain, follow this link: http://www.fl125.co.uk/derby-county.
