Derby County are one of the oldest and biggest clubs in English football, and have a proud history.
Established in 1884, they were founder members of the Football League, and have gone on to win three major trophies in English football, as well as competing alongside some of Europe's elite.
Derby have two Division One titles to their name, winning both in the space of three years. Their first came under the management of legend Brian Clough, before another club legend, Dave Mackay, guided them to their second Division One title in 1975.
The Rams have reached four FA Cup finals in their history, but have only ever won one. In 1946, Derby beat Charlton Athletic 4-1 at Wembley to become the first club to lift the trophy post-World War Two.
More recently, Derby have been a Championship club, and came closest to returning to the top-flight in 2014 when the Rams lost to QPR in the play-off final.
With 132 years of history, FootballLeagueWorld writer Rob Booth identifies FOUR facts about Derby that you probably never knew...
The gypsy curse
When Derby County moved to the Baseball Ground in 1895, a stadium that would be their home for the next 102 years, they had to evict gypsies off the site.
It's believed that one of the gypsies placed a curse on the club, and it's also believed that the curse specified that Derby would never win the FA Cup.
The Rams reached three FA Cup finals in the next eight years, losing all three, including a 6-0 loss to Bury in 1903.
Derby were also relegated to the Second Division in 1907 for the first time in their history, but gained promotion back to the top league four years later.
In 1946, Derby County did win the FA Cup.
Jackie Stamps is rumoured to have paid a gypsy to have the curse lifted before the day of the final. Stamps scored twice in the final as the Rams won 4-1.
Derby were the first team to top the league
On the 8th September 1888, the first ever football league matches were played.
Derby County were away to Bolton Wanderers for their first ever league game, and came away 6-3 winners.
No league table was ever actually published after the first ever league fixtures, but based on modern day calculations, Derby County would've topped the table due to their goal difference and goals scored.
Elsewhere in the first ever round of games, Everton beat Accrington 2-1, Wolves and Aston Villa drew 1-1, whilst Preston thrashed Burnley 5-2, and West Brom won 2-0 away at Stoke.
The coffee cup goal
Many football fans will be familiar with current Rams striker Darren Bent's famous 'beach ball goal' back in 2009 for Sunderland.
But long before that ever happened, Derby County's Paul Peschisolido scored the coffee cup goal against East Midlands Rivals Nottingham Forest.
In 2004, Derby beat rivals Forest 4-2 at Pride Park, as it was then known as.
The ball was heading towards the Forest goalkeeper Barry Roche, but bobbled into the air which caused him to mis-kick it into the path of Peschisolido, who had an empty net to aim for, this was one of two goals he scored that day.
The coffee cup has since been auctioned, and the goal will be remembered as one of the most bizarre goals in Derby's history.
Derby beat Real Madrid 4-1
In 1975, Derby County met European giants Real Madrid in the Second Round of the European Cup.
The Rams ran out 4-1 winners against the Spaniards, with David Nish scoring to add to Charlie George's hat-trick, with Pirri scoring the visitors' consolation.
Unfortunately, Derby couldn't progress through to the next round, losing 5-1 in the return leg at the Bernabeu, meaning the Rams crashed out of the competition due to a 6-5 aggregate loss.
That was the last time Derby competed in Europe's top competition, however they took part in the UEFA Cup the following season.
