Between 1971 and 1975, Derby County Football Club rose from relative obscurity to the very summit of English football. In a sport long dominated by the powerhouses of London and Liverpool, a provincial club from the East Midlands defied convention and rewrote the record books. Under the fiery genius of Brian Clough, Derby claimed their first-ever league title, shocking the establishment with a brand of football that was as stylish as it was uncompromising.Yet glory on the pitch was matched by turbulence behind the scenes. Boardroom battles, power struggles, and the abrupt, sensational departure of Clough threatened to shatter the club's momentum. Into the breach stepped Dave Mackay, whose leadership steadied the ship and drove Derby to another league crown, proving that the Rams were more than a one-manager miracle.This book charts that unforgettable journey in full - from the building of Clough's title-winning side to the tactical shifts under Mackay, from fierce rivalries with Liverpool and Leeds to the enduring pride of Derby's loyal supporters. Rich with detail, rooted in fact, and told with the energy of the era, Rams to Kings captures how one small city stood tall against the giants of English football.
