The Legacy
Arthur Cox arrived as manager in 1984 to stabilize Derby County following a period of financial turmoil. During 1985-1986, the club competed in the Third Division, finishing 3rd and earning promotion to the Second Division. Bobby Davison led the attack, while Geraint Williams and Steve Buckley provided the defensive foundation. Osca manufactured the team wear for this campaign, which prominently featured the Bass sponsorship on the front. Stability was the priority for the board as the side fought to maintain their status in the Football League.
Key Moment
Derby finished third in the Third Division in 1985-86, winning promotion in the first of back-to-back promotions under Arthur Cox.
