What a project to undertake and complete so much history encapsulated in those shirts and colours the very fragile first few years of Derby County FC 1884-1895. @rwilkinson007 @DCFCEst1884 @RamsHeritage @dcfcofficial @dcfccollection #DCFC https://t.co/xhPyqWazmo What a project to undertake and complete so much history encapsulated in those shirts and colours the very fragile first few years of Derby County FC"
