Totally Extra: Derby County 2007/08

For this week's Totally Extra, Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Stuart James to look back at Derby County's infamous Premier League campaign in 2007/08. Wrong place, wrong time for Billy Davies and Paul Jewell whose otherwise decent managerial careers were put under the spotlight with the history-making 11 point season. January business gone wrong, a -69 goal difference and only one win all season, but are they the worst Premier League side ever? Stuart has stories from Swindon's 93-94 season as the panel look at some of the other contenders for this unwanted moniker, including Sheffield Utd in 23-24. Plus, some of football's other unwanted records, including the longest goal drought and the player who had the longest run without a win. Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Stuart James's 'debut' away at Venezia (00.40) • PART 1b: Duncan’s quiz question (04.05) • PART 1c: This week in football aka The Totally Almanac (04.55) • PART 2: Derby County's infamous 07/08 season (09.30) • PART 3: Other contenders for the worst PL team ever (27.10) • PART 4: Some of football's other unwanted records (37.30) Hosted on Acast.
