A football club's minutes book dating back to 1888 has been discovered providing a rare and fascinating insight into the lifestyle of Britain's first ever professional players.
The historical record was penned at the formation of England's Football League - over a century before it became the Premier League as we know it today.
The official Derby County FC document reveals a seismic shift in the way clubs, players and fans of the 'Beautiful Game' have changed over the last 130 years.

I know that the earliest possible minutes books survive for Everton and Crystal Palace.
Such is the fascinating information within them,there is sufficient material to write a book (and they have been!)
Knowing the level of interest in Derby County memorabilia, collectibles etc (sufficient to warrant a publication!) I think £500-£800 is a way too low estimate
I hope whoever buys it, access is given to it is given to a historian, so the story within can be shared |

Sold for £4,000, about double what I thought it would go for. |

From the 10 minutes I spent perusing the item, there's a fascinating article to be written.
The chronology was confusing, though - the pages weren't in date order. Hand-written, yes, but not in date order. Most of the board meetings seemed to take place at directors' houses....or in th epub! _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |
