Founded in 1884, Derby County are a founder member of the Football League. Winning promotion back to the Premier in League in 2007, Derby were relegated immediately with the poorest records of a relegated team and are presently a Championship team. The exciting First Division side of the early seventies managed only eleven points during their last visit to the top tier, a record that stands to this day. Derby suffered a huge point deduction penalty for the 2021-22 season on account of financial mismanagement and could not avoid dropping to League One and managed automatic promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.
