Derby County Videos, Thanks for this excellent game. Derby unlucky to lose-nice to see players like Leighton James and Charlie George, Tommy Craig very good for Newcastle

I was at this game 14. Years old in the leazers end now 62

[@silgen]

Me too, although I was 17. I remember laughing at the idiots that left 10 minutes early to "beat the traffic".

[@aidanliddane1242]

Derby has some great players

[@steviemac9055]

I was in the Leazes behind the goal.

Nice to see a fan site putting in lost games however good or bad they are. Too much cream makes you sick..

[@milburn1955]

Attendance 45,770

[@pauldurkee4764]

It's funny how the memory plays tricks, I watched a lot of football on the TV in the 70s, but I can't remember Kenneth Wolstenholme doing the commentary. I can't remember Leighton James playing for Derby either.

[@MrClitheroe]

KW was the regular commentator for Tyne Tees TV for quite a while until Roger Tame and David Burton hosted a revamped and much improved highlights show.

[@goodbyerawlings]

Does anyone know what the attendance was.

[@thezebrafromheaven7568]

Good to see Charlie George play for Derby instead of Arse.

[@billymorton4506]

Typical St James' Park response to the opposition scoring...deathly silence. Boro was the same too and then the "You're gonna get your effin head kicked in" chant would start!

[@thedok6419]

Typical response? Should they be cheering a goal by the visiting team?

[@johnclark6756]

Billy Morton fool

[@silgen]

Of course other clubs resound to the sound of "jolly good, show, old chaps" when the visitors score...

[@johndowling5850]

​@@silgen exactly.

[@blagger116]

Presume this game was played relatively early in the season. From around October onwards there wouldn't have been that amount of grass on the pitch back in the 70s.

[@garyford944]

@djm151071 Why not just say 7 February 1976?

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

Grass stopped growing at the Baseball Ground after September. Mudbath!

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

It was at Newcastle.

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

Derby's 3rd goal is pure class!

[@EvoGoody]

Great performance by Geoff Nulty. He was probably the best player in Europe at this time.

[@SMSJSC]

Sounds like Kenneth Wolstenholme came out of retirement to commentate on this one? I'm sure he hung up the mic in 1971.

[@grimupnorth]

+Stuart S You're very wrong. He moved from the BBC and was snapped-up by Tyne-Tees I think. If you look around at other Newcastle, Middlesbro games of the mid 70's, you'll find him commentating on them too. Try Middlesbro 4 Coventry 4 from 1974-75 season. A great game. Quite a good commentator too!

[@peteralderson1483]

Ken worked for Tyne Tees ,he did the North East football commentaries which were broadcast on Sundays , programme was called Shoot

[@andrewswift8139]

Ken commentated on Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough games for Tyne Tees TV from 1974-79. His last was Newcastle v Brighton (0-3) on 5th May 1979.

[@Farerets]

I don´t like Kenneth, to be honest... he was quite simply not in the same league as younger men, who came to commentate football on BBC in late 60s - early 70s, like David Coleman (my absolute favourite), Gerald Sinstadt, John Motson... no wonder Kenneth left BBC in 1971.

[@johnruby147]

@@Farerets Sorry mate but how can you compare Kenneth Wolstenholme with Motson , Ken was miles better that idiot , Ken commentated Motson treated watching viewers like idiots , with that stupid laugh , and his use of histryonics , Barry Davis was better than him
