6. Nottingham Forest vs Derby County
Forest legend Stuart Pearce once said of Derby: “if they were the only club around I’d still rather go on the dole” highlighting that this rivalry is felt by the players just as much as it’s felt by the fans. The two clubs have shared players and managers ever since Brian Clough turned up at the old Baseball Ground and now that they are established as regular Championship sides they frequently tussle it out for supremacy in the East Midlands.
