It's good to know that the first Nottingham derby was as memorable as all of the others down the years that I have absolutely no memory of.

I'm never quite sure what constitutes a 'derby'. Do they have to be from the same town/city?

If so, Aston and West Bromwich weren't part of the same city when first played.

Pedant ahoy.
