Whilst circumstances currently mean there’s no live football to enjoy, dcfc.co.uk is delving into the archives to feature a photograph from Derby County’s illustrious history.
Every day for the foreseeable future, we’ll provide you an image each day for supporters to enjoy and reminisce.
Clough Oversees Training At The Baseball Ground
Legendary former Derby County manager Brian Clough is pictured here overseeing training in July 1970 ahead of the 1970/71 season.
Clough, at the time, was preparing for his fourth season in charge at the Baseball Ground and is seen here dressed smartly whilst his players take a breather in the training session.
Derby were building up to their second season in the First Division under Clough, having finished fourth in the previous campaign.
Despite an opening day 2-1 loss at Chelsea, Derby responded by winning their next three games against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Stoke City and Ipswich Town.
The Rams went on to finish ninth in the 1970/71 campaign and plenty of foundations were being laid ahead of their title-winning 1971/72 season.
