DCFC Megastore

The Derby County Football Club is one of the oldest established clubs in world soccer. Formed in 1884, the Rams were one of the founding members of the English Football League in 1888 and have twice won the League Championship honour currently held by Manchester United. The Rams can boast soccer's first superstar, Steve Bloomer, who played for Derb... y County from 1892. The David Beckham of his day was captain of England and his club record of 332 goals stands to this day. His impact on the game is measured by the fact that Rams fans still sing the club anthem "Steve Bloomer's Watching" before every home game - 95 years after he last played for the Rams! Derby County were the first post-World War II FA Cup winners at Wembley Stadium and, with the legendary Brian Clough as manager, won their first League Championship in 1884/72, besting the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. The Rams repeated the League Championship feat in 1974/75 and the following season beat mighty Real Madrid 4-1 in a European Cup (now Champions League) round at the Baseball Ground, the club's former stadium site, which was known as one of English soccer's true theatres. Derby left the Baseball Ground, their home for 100 years, in 1997, moving to the new Pride Park Stadium, a purpose-built facility so well respected that it has hosted a full England international game and has broken the domestic record attendance for England U21 internationals three times.Read More
