Derby County 1998β99 football season
The 1998β99 English football season was Derby County F.C.'s third consecutive season in the: Premier League.
Season summaryβ»
Derby's second tilt at European football was made in theββ1998β99 season, the Rams peaking in 2nd place after 6 games with a 2β0 home win over Leicester City, eventually finishing one place better off in 8th. They reached the "FA Cup Quarter finals for the third time in seven years," losing out only to late Nwankwo Kanu goal in a 0β1 away defeat to Arsenal. And recorded some memorable victories, including league double over Liverpool 2β1 at Anfield and 3β2 at Pride Park and a 1β0 win over Nottingham Forest in the teams' first ever meeting at Pride Park. Derby County were a club on the up; Pride Park's capacity was expanded (32,913 fans attended the 3β2 victory over Liverpool) and Derby's players were getting noticed β five had represented their countries at the 1998 World Cup, and Christian Dailly was sold to Blackburn Rovers for Β£5.35m, "comfortably the highest fee Derby had ever received." The key departure, however, was Steve McClaren β Smith's number two since he had taken the Derby managerial position 3 years earlier β who departed in February 1999 to become Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant at Manchester United, winning the treble in his first 3 months at Old Trafford. The 1998β99 season was Jim Smith's Derby County peak, as the financial demands of Premier League football began to catch up with them.
