This was really a fantastic game - one of the finest atmospheres I have ever experienced. Second Division Derby really turned it on under the Baseball Ground lights against the First Division giants Chelsea. The crowd were unbelievable, the noise, the chanting continuing unabated throughout the whole game. After a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge a week earlier the Rams were still very much the underdogs in a game against a full strength Chelsea side. George Edwards described the action brilliantly in his report in the Derby Evening Telegraph.

Another magic evening at the Baseball Ground. Perhaps not quite as exciting as the Chelsea game but a memorable close contest nevertheless in front of another capacity crowd. Everton gave everything they had, but this Derby team now look something special and will take some stopping.
Sadly this second magnificent victory against First Division opposition was as far as it went for the Rams in the League Cup. They were drawn at home to Third Division side Swindon Town in the next round but could only manage a goal less draw in the first match. In the replay at Swindon, early in November, they lost by the only goal of the game. Swindon famously went on to win the League Cup by beating Arsenal at Wembley in the final. I was lucky enough to be there and will report on that game in due course.
