What year did Derby County win the Premier League?

Derby County won the Premier League in the 1995-1996 season. It was a momentous occasion for the club, as they had not won the top division title since 1975. The team had come close to winning the title in the previous season, finishing second to Blackburn Rovers, but they were determined to go one better in 1995-1996. The team was managed by Jim Smith, with the likes of Dean Saunders, Chris Powell, Igor Stimac and Marco Gabbiadini leading the line. Derby County's success was built on a strong defensive unit and a high pressing style of play, which allowed them to outplay most teams in the league. Their success was also down to the brilliant team spirit and commitment of the players, as well as the influence of the supporters. The team went on to finish the season with a record low of 18 league defeats, and secured the title with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the final game of the season.
