1989-90 - Derby County 6 Manchester City 0 - Highlights

[@stevenwilkinson1265]

Arthur Cox took over at the lowest point in the club's history for many years ..in Div 3 & with about 10 players on the books .. he set about building some fabulous, balanced & committed teams that won back to back promotions & climbed to 5th in the top flight .... some financial backing at that stage & they might have pushed on further ... great memories of players & a Manager who earned respect ...

Derby started this year in D3 (I still call it that), with just 5 senior players under contract after the bankruptcy and it feels very, very serious this year. Hoping we can do this all over again. Although when Cox got us out of D3, I was sitting on the fence on the Popside to celebrate and now 60yo living in the US, I will celebrate promotion in less energetic style.

[@Mark-wp4xv]

Remember Cox was not promoted in his first year. Give Paul Warne the same time to build.

[@simonlacey6225]

I was there when Saunders made his debut against Wimbledon and couldn't believe how good he was, also played cricket against him and he was good at that as well

[@apostatepaul]

I was at that match too. Suddenly l felt so positive. With Saunders, Wright and Shelton, the team had real quality. Good memories.

[@Martin-ke1ik]

I hit Dean Saunders' golf buggy with one of my drives. He wasn't happy but because I was 13 he soon came round hahaha

[@stevenwilkinson1265]

Ohh Mark Wright, ohh Mark Wright ... this was the dying throes of a fine team that Arthur Cox had built at Derby over 6 years. The spine of Shilton, Wright, Williams, Goddard & Saunders was excellent with Micklewhite & McMinn being fine wingers. Lack of investment from the top led to relegation within a few years. Cox remains (behind the legendary BC) as one of Derby's greatest post war managers.

[@thechriswhewell]

I think he has to fall just behind Jim Smith, but very close between the two. Maybe Arthur Cox's consecutive promotions shades it for some people, but I enjoyed watching Jim's sides more. Stimac vs Wright, Shilton vs Poom. Saunders vs Wanchope. Baiano and Eranio and Kinkladze vs Sturridge and Micklewhite and Gee. Brian Clough was right (when wasn't he?) when he said a good side is built from the back, and from the centre. The spine you spoke of was repeated under Smith, with Poom, Stimac, Eranio and Baiano/Wanchope. Let's see if Gary Rowett can figure it out. As Brian Clough said, It's only complicated if you choose to make it complicated.

I always think of the 90s like they were yesterday. I'm 45 now, proper crowd. And ground.

[@neild3163]

I was 13 and we got there late and already 2-0 down, went on to lose 6-0. It was a horrible away day but we stopped off for fish and chips on the way back home. That’s football.

[@crashbang756]

I was there that day.... Had leave at 5 nil to run catch train back to Burton as I was jogging away from the ground up Catherine Street.... Just heard a mighty roar...... You rams

[@seltaeb3302]

What is that green stuff they're playing on at the Baseball Ground? (A tight ground that produced wonderful exciting games especially when the brown stuff arrived!)

[@portcullis5622]

I was just thinking that the Baseball Ground pitch was looking surprisingly green for November!

[@AWABPW]

Obviously green paint. We don't do turf in Derbyshire 🤣

[@dalekshire]

Was Sinstadt's commentry put on after the game as he doesn't seem to get excited when the golas go in

[@martinmason5008]

He's a City fan. Good commentator but I think you're right it was dubbed after. A Central TV or Midlands commentator would have taken this game. Sinstadt was with Granada.

[@Thursdaym2]

As a lifelong City fan, I wasn't excited too😅

[@PressureOnJulian]

It’s added later for club video - Sinstadt was at the Beeb by this time, who didn’t have the rights to the Football League

[@MarcyKuts]

This was edited commentary by action time a company that made the football league review of each club in the first division that season .. basically they did it for 2seasons .. 88-89.. 89-90...

[@mizofan]

Dreary commentary, City as bad as Derby were excellent

[@Thursdaym2]

What's wrong with the commentary? Described the game not like these days telling you how they should be playing. Might as well switch sound off and make up our own minds.

[@robparkinson9850]

I dont remember seeing highlights this long before. Where did you get them? Im sure on the season review oif this game it just shows the goals. I was at this game. I remember my friend who i played football with at school lived next door to gary Micklewhite, but as he, and his father were city fans, they turned down the offers of free tickets. He told me he went to this game though, stood in the derby end, and wished he had not bothered. haha. This is the city we all knew and loved. bang average, before the oil state took them over and bankrolled them to FC Barcelonas level

[@encorefootball]

Derby pre-Bosman were amazing

[@ankersuppliesboy1017]

Miss the baseball ground

[@adrianip101]

the late Justin fashanu came on as sub. RIP 🙏

[@seltaeb3302]

A player Clough shouldn't have bought as he wrecked his career. He was a promising young prospect that scored a great goal & he stupidly paid a million & Justin couldn't handle that & flopped, he went to Notts County for about 300,000 but he struggled everywhere labeled a failure. Clough should have apologised.

My first Away game 🤦🏻‍♂️me and our kid got crushed and police got us out and we sat next to a ball boy 2nd half not the best of Days still follow the Blues though to this day😁👍

[@davebest5624]

Was in the away end as well, pay on the gate and crushing from the turnstile all the way to the terrace. Awful ground.

[@mcfcste99]

@Dave Best Probably the worst ive experienced very scary i can't comment on Hillsborough as when i first visited the standing area was closed

[@MarkSmith-pr7js]

The commentator ( Gerald Sinstadt ? ) seemed oddly disengaged. I suspect he wasn't actually at the game.

[@mcfcmanc]

I was at this game ….. sadly

How long will it be before this result happens again, lol

6-0 obviously wasn’t enough to stop Maxwell from “falling off” his posh rowing boat a while after 🤣 wonder if Jeffrey and Ghislaine were at the game

He never fell off nothing he went and had supper with saddam and been hiding ever since
