When was the last time Derby County won the Premier League?

Derby County last won the Premier League in the 1971-1972 season under the management of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. The team had a fantastic season, going undefeated in the league and winning all of their home games. Clough and Taylor had implemented a style of football which was attractive and successful, playing with a high-tempo, possession-based game. The team was also known for their physicality and aggressive tackling, making them a formidable opponent.

The 1971-1972 season was a success for Derby County, as they finished the season with a record of 28 wins, 12 draws and only 2 losses. They finished 8 points clear of runners-up Leeds United and were crowned champions of the English top-flight for the first time in their history. Notable players from that season included Dave Mackay, Alan Hinton and John O’Hare.

The team’s success in the 1971-1972 season was a unique achievement in English football, as no team had ever gone unbeaten in the top-flight before. Since then, Derby County have not been able to replicate this success, with their best finish in the Premier League being 8th in the 2007-2008 season.
