Description
Reds and Rams: A Story of the East Midlands Derby is the tale of one of the most fiercely fought football rivalries in the world. Hewed from the Victorian industrial revolution, Nottingham Forest and Derby County have contested league games for 130 years. The rivalry has ebbed and flowed, with each club enjoying both periods of sustained success and existential threat. The reasons for this deep-rooted antipathy are numerous, yet ultimately it boils down to two football clubs similar in stature, size, history and geography existing cheek by jowl. Each city has its own proud identity and history, with Derby renowned for its railways and Nottingham famous for Robin Hood. One thing they have always agreed on is the genius of Brian Clough. Throughout their long history, the two clubs have traded managers and players, producing deep and lasting enmity. This book explores the complex and often bitter relationship between these two East Midlands football giants.
