[@barrygrummett8057]

I am 82 now. My parents took me to my 1st game at the Baseball ground when I was 8yrs old It is heart warming to watch this amazing team beating the Arsenal

[@Wizard-uo4wj]

good on you old boy

[@timothysmith8429]

The best team Derby county ever had thanks to Brian Clough and Peter Taylor and not forgetting the great Dave McKay. I was so blessed to be a football mad teenage boy who got to see these truly wonderful players rule the top flight of the English football league for more than half a decade. The first season derby county were promoted to the English first division they hammered all the top clubs of the day 3 4 and 5 nothing. The team and management were all one big happy family and the baseball ground was were it happened. The team of such quality and fair play never to be found again. Thank you all for such wonderful times.

Mr McKay had gone to Swindon when the game was broadcast!

[@burtonlad3294]

As a Derby i am biased, but Alan Hinton must be one of the best crossers and dead ball specialists the game has seen

[@thomasodonnell8088]

yeah agree 100% gladys was sum player for sure

Loved Hinton. Right foot, left foot, bobbly pitches! Got my first pair of white Top Dogs in 1972 (even though I could kick with neither feet).

I miss the old Baseball Ground. You could tell this match was early in the season, there was still some grass on the pitch.

[@apostatepaul]

What a team!!!!!! Many of the finest players in one super team humiliating Arsenal and giving them an example of how to score. Hinton was the greatest dead ball,specialist. He made nearly all five goals. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💪💪💪💪💪

[@markwhitaker3673]

I remember this horrible week as an Arsenal fan- after this match Arsenal lost at home 3-0 to Norwich City in the league cup after a Graham Paddon hatrick. Still finished 2nd to Liverpool in the league that season although losing to Sunderland in the FA cup semis was rough.

[@mahmoudshahnazi8374]

Hugh Johns' broadcasting made everything wonderful. I always looked forward to the games that he was on. This game in particular. Brian Cluogh teams always played great, and as tough as they were they always played within the rules and fair. He would not have tolerated unsportsmanship from his teams. RIP to Great Hugh Johns and the Great Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.

Hinton's delivery into the box was outrageous.

[@mizofan]

Hinton outstanding in the superb league winning team of Clough and Taylor. He won 3 England caps between 1962-4, but on that form maybe he should have won more. Reigning double winners Arsenal defence and Wilson at sixes and sevens.

[@staceygrove5976]

Well, they were no longer the reigning double winners here - Derby themselves had won the League Championship in 1972.

[@neilmcnab3652]

My god I loved that team 🐏

[@timhanser1943]

I used to see Roy McFarland in the park Farm Centre at Allestree a lot . I hope he is still going well . Wonderful centre half .

[@pablok2854]

Allan Hinton with white boots, what a pioner!

[@topcat4759]

I think he was one of the first players to wear coloured boots, if you count White as a colour! Only problem was that with the state of the pitch you could not always tell what colour they were!

[@marcushd5776]

Gladys where’s your handbag? Shame most Derby fan didn’t appreciate how good he was till he left. Would love to see a vid of his testimonial, atmosphere was phenomenal 😀

[@ian1955s]

Went to see my sheffield utd team at baseball ground I was about 16 lost 3 0 in fa cup we had tony Currie in our side. No answer to this great derby team. I also got lost after game trying to find my coach. Bumped into the derby fans and ended up with a black eye. But it was a great day out even though we lost and I got a punch in the eye. Up the blades.

[@williamparker3765]

I was there to see that match ,that was "The" Derby County, you don't see them play like that these days, if they took a leaf out that team of yesterday Derby wouldn't be in League One, they do there best I know but they just don't have that final punch.

[@stevemartin7798]

if they counted assists in those days how many would Alan Hinton create in a season ? more real ones than the fantasy figures given out for today's players.

[@Kelly14UK]

Wilson is on record for saying the proudest moment in his footballing career was keeping goal for Scotland. That he truly wished he was in West Germany and Argentina as our star keeper.

[@gordonmathers6489]

By Argentina he was done. In West Germany we only conceded one goal in 3 matches. I think David Harvey did a good job

[@Kelly14UK]

Lol i was joking. Fact is i don't think he cared for his Scotland status, that he rathered he played for England @@gordonmathers6489
