When Jim Smith took charge of Derby County in the summer of 1995,
he joined a club needing to balance the books after several seasons
of failing to reach the Premier League. Little was expected of him.
Yet alongside Steve McClaren, Smith oversaw a transformation that
took Derby to a new home, a new division and to the brink of
European competition for the first time since the days of Dave
Mackay. Smith built a side capable of matching the very best in
English football, amassing an array of international talent almost
never before seen in the British game, alongside hugely impressive
home-grown players. This is the story of Jim Smith's Derby County,
told with the exclusive insights of Smith's players, coaching
staff, friends and supporters. Rams legends including Igor Stimac,
Stefano Eranio and Steve McClaren speak in depth on what made that
Derby County side, while those closest to Jim reveal what the
legendary man-manager was like to deal with, both in and out of
football.
