Derby County 2007 Play Off Final Retro Football Shirt The original 2006–07 home 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. This version of the 06-07 shirt was originally worn in the play off final. 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.
