Derby County 2006 Third Retro Football Shirt The 2006–07 Derby third shirt was worn during a hugely significant season for Derby County, as the club earned promotion to the Premier League via the play‑offs under manager Billy Davies. Key players who wore this shirt include Steve Howard, whose goals were vital throughout the campaign; Giles Barnes, one of the Championship’s standout young talents; David Jones, Stephen Pearson, and Matt Oakley, who formed the core of Derby’s midfield; plus defenders Darren Moore, Dean Leacock, and Lewin Nyatanga, during a season that culminated in Derby’s famous play‑off final win over West Bromwich Albion. The shirt is remembered fondly as the one worn during Derby’s dramatic return to the top flight.
