Derby County to launch Walk of Fame at Pride Park - includes club legends Brian Clough and Peter Taylor

Derby County will honour key figures from the club’s history with a new Walk of Fame at Pride Park Stadium, set to be unveiled ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The tribute, which will be installed on the exterior of the East Stand and extended annually, will celebrate former players, managers, and influential individuals.

It forms the latest step in a series of heritage projects led by Clowes Developments since taking ownership in 2022. Past initiatives include the Moments that Mattered posters, a memorabilia exhibit in Harrison’s Hub, and the introduction of Legacy Numbers for players.

Club legends such as Brian Clough, Peter Taylor, Steve Bloomer, Roy McFarland, and Dave Mackay will automatically be included in the Walk of Fame.

Supporters are now invited to nominate additional figures via an online form until Sunday, 20 July.

The first inductees will be announced before Derby’s opening home match of the Championship season against Coventry City on Saturday, 16 August (12:30pm KO).

“We’ve wanted a Hall of Fame-style feature that fans can easily access,” said CEO Stephen Pearce.

“This location made the most sense, and involving supporters in the selection process was key. It’s something we plan to grow every year.”
