Derby County Quiz Book

Coming in October 2026. Pre-order now for delivery prior to publication The Derby County Quiz Book has over 1000 quiz questions, puzzles and debates. Unlike other quiz books, it is more than a series of questions about the club. It is also an interactive, informative and interesting look at the Rams. There are 16 sections, all on a different era of the Rams, from formation in 1884 to the end of the 2025/26 season. Each era has questions on history, players and matches, in three separate rounds. There are also Who Am I questions and Career Paths per era. Finally, there are Bonus rounds at the end of each era, which cover the whole history of the club, with team line-ups, puzzles and a debate question to ponder. So if you want to know who the only goalkeeper in Derby's history to have scored a goal is, or the line up for the 1983 FA Cup 3rd round win over Forest, or even the career path of Everton legend, Kevin Ratcliffe (yes he did have a brief spell at Derby) then this is for you. It isn't just about the obvious such as Bloomer, 1946, McFarland and Hector, Clough and Mackay, Stimac and Wanchope, Wembley appearances and trophies, promotions and relegations or Warne and Eustace. They do though naturally appear. It is also about the players that when you hear their names you will go - "I forgot about him", or "he was the most underrated left-back I ever saw'. Or it may be a match or off-field incident that you can say 'I was there' or 'I did not know that' No matter how old you are there is something for you, whether a die-hard history buff, a season ticket holder of 20 years standing, a young fan desperate to learn about the club, or just an armchair supporter who watches it through the TV. If you want to use the book to test your own knowledge, play with friends and family, or even just use as a history book then feel free to use it as you wish. Each question will also have some context in the answer, so you will be able to test your knowledge as well as learn why it happened or the consequence of the event. With over 1000 questions, and 240 pages of content, this is possibly the most comprehensive quiz book about the Rams on the market today, maybe ever produced. A few questions from the book to tickle your thirst - 1 - Which player saw a marquee move to Derby collapse at the very last minute in March 1972, after already being paraded at the Baseball Ground as a new signing when Nottingham Forest's own committee blocked Brian Clough's approach for him? 2 - Arthur Cox brought in a defender on a free transfer from Sunderland as part of his 1984/85 rebuild — who was he? 3 - Which Argentine striker's Derby County career ended abruptly in November 1999, when he was refused re-entry to Britain at Heathrow after immigration officials discovered his Italian passport — obtained via his grandparents to bypass non-EU work permit rules — had been forged? 4 - Which striker was named Derby's Player of the Year for the 2006/07 promotion season, having joined from Luton Town for a club record fee that summer? 5 - Which manager was appointed by Derby on 14 March 2017, immediately after Steve McClaren's second sacking, having previously played over 100 games for the club? 6 - Which club did Derby beat 2-0 on the final day of the 2023/24 season to seal automatic promotion back to the Championship? If you want to know the answers, have a Google, or buy the book! About the Author: Sitting down after dinner during the Christmas period in 2025, a father and three grown up sons were testing each other on Derby County trivia as well as throwing in some reminiscences - favourite away game (Leeds playoff away leg for all of us), best player ever seen (different players from different eras came up here) etc. It was a really fun evening, with the internet proving a source of many of the questions and for checking the contentious answers! The idea of putting all this competition and fun into a book came up and it was decided that we should create one, but if we were going to do it, it had to be the best. The Answer Room was born. So after seven months of testing which AI and search engines were the best for research, AI fact checking, human fact checking, customer testing and a massive help from Gerald Mortimer's Complete Record, it was felt that the book was now ready for the public to enjoy. We hope you enjoy it - and as importantly, we hope that you trust it and learn something about the Mighty Rams.
