⚽ Vintage League Football Magazine – Derby County Champions Issue ⚽
A superb original copy of League Football, the official magazine of The Football League, dating from the early 1970s and featuring one of the most iconic teams of the era.
This issue celebrates Derby County's Football League Championship-winning 1971–72 season and their success as Texaco Cup Winners. Inside is a magnificent full-colour team photograph featuring legendary manager Brian Clough, assistant manager Peter Taylor, and many of the Rams stars who helped create one of English football's greatest success stories.
The squad photograph includes famous names such as Roy McFarland, Archie Gemmill, John O'Hare, Kevin Hector, Alan Hinton, Alan Durban and John McGovern, making this a highly desirable piece for Derby County supporters and football memorabilia collectors alike.
The Brian Clough era remains one of the most celebrated periods in Derby County history, and collectables connected to those title-winning teams continue to attract strong interest decades later.
There is something magical about these old football magazines. For just 5p, a supporter could take home the story of a championship-winning side. More than fifty years later, this copy survives as a genuine snapshot of one of football's most famous managerial partnerships and one of Derby County's greatest achievements.

Own a little piece of history ❤️

If you enjoy treasures with stories, please have a browse through my other listings — I upload new finds every day.

I’m currently selling my grandmother’s incredible lifetime collection of souvenirs and antiques to help fund a new roof and lovingly restore her beautiful home 🏠.

She was an air hostess in the 1940s and 50s, travelling the world and bringing back unique pieces from every corner ✈️. She later married my grandfather — the pilot she fell in love with in the skies — and together they continued collecting unusual, charming, and historic items.

In the 1960s she became an antiques dealer in her own right, running her business with passion right up until she retired at the grand age of 92.

Now I’m carefully sorting through everything she treasured, hoping these pieces bring you the same joy and nostalgia they brought to my grandparents for so many decades.

Thank you so much for looking — it means the world. 💛
