@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @ACScricket Went to this. Great memories. Saw Peter Walker giving out the scores from the other games and Richard Gilliat lifting the JPL Trophy. Insane that Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge have played at Darley Dale. Started senior school the next day

@TonyIncenzo Absolutely Tony. I wrote 50 Years ‘Not Out’ which is my story following Derby County since 1971

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@fredfertang @butcher_roland Saw @DerbyshireCCC bowl them out for 54 at Ilkeston that season and they won by an innings

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

As it’s @WorldBookDayUK just a plug for my book 50 Years ‘Not Out’, my story following Derby County since 1971. Hardback and Paperback copies available on @AmazonUK

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@MalChristie @derbymint1 @SunderlandAFC @dcfcofficial @premierleague I was there

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@cricketontnt Just make Australia forfeit 50 runs in their next game and they won’t do it again. Demerit points are waste of time

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@phillowe1 @dcfcofficial Top man, player and captain . Of of the very few who have acheived back to back promotions. RIP Rob

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@dgriffinpix Thank you David for your fantastic daily coverage as usual. Fantastic stuff 👍

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

So two years ago after my book 50 Years ‘Not Out’ was published, the hardback version has arrived 😀. If anyone would like one please pm me as I have copies available at £21.99. It’s also available on line at Amazon, Waterstones and WH Smith. An ideal stocking filler for Xmas

@jim8966 So sad Jim. Sorry to hear this ��

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC That was my first game too. Sat with my Dad in the lower tier of the Parr Stand a year before Parr’s tree was felled in gale force winds. Should of reached the final that year but completely fell apart against Middlesex after a solid start from Headley and Sharpe

@stokesos @dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @DominicCork95 @FrankGriffith11 @Krikketcoach @devon_malcolm @grizz598 Yes spot on

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @YorkshireCCC Need to have 2 Championship and 2 Blast games at Queen’s Park. Fantastic atmosphere today and as for Nye Donald…

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@footballmemorys Went to this game at Feethams. Was postponed about 6pm on the night due to torrential rain and was played on the Monday night after we got promoted against Rotherham the previous Friday 🐏

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@_theawayends Brilliant. Hope Southend get back soon too. Both proper clubs with great fan bases 👍

[John Taylor @therunningchap]

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC I went to The Park in 1973 for the JPL match also against Glamorgan. Derbyshire won by 1 run and the game was the live Sunday afternoon game with Peter Walker. Some names who played Mike Page, Ian Buxton, Venkat, Fred Rumsey, Alan Jones, Majid Khan, Mike Llewellyn, Eifion Jones
