Fourteen Derby County legends come together to tell the stories behind their favourite ever games for the club - enabling Rams fans of all ages to relive these magic moments through the eyes and emotions of the men who were there, playing their hearts out for the white shirt...Steve Powell recalls playing against Liverpool at the Baseball Ground when he was just 16, in a match that virtually sealed Derby's first league championship; Jim Bullions recounts heroic stories of Wembley in 1946, when the Rams beat Charlton to lift the FA Cup. Michael Johnson waxes lyrical on beating Forest in a six-goal thriller - while Darren Moore nominates the win over West Brom in the 2007 Championship play-off final. County greats Johnny Morris, Dave Mackay and Marco Gabbiadini also turn in characteristic star performances, winding back the clock to relive treasured memories of the Match of Their Lives for the Rams.
