- 10th April 1965: With none of the top four First Division clubs playing today "Match of the Day" send their cameras to the County Ground, Northampton for the visit of Derby County. Town just need one win to end a fairytale season and guarantee themselves promotion to the top flight.

#5 was my grandad 💪🏻
Three of the Derby team here - Colin Boulton, Ron Webster and Alan Durban - were part of the team which won the First Division seven years later.
What a great bit of history, glory days at the County Ground.
Good old fashioned football. When Northampton Were A Big Team
Which week in which year in which decade in which century in which millennium in which aeon was that then?
Or are you talking 'cobblers'? 😝😝

I was only messing mate. I know they were in the first division in 1965/66.
It was a good game after a slow start. The conditions were bad because of the wind and there was tension because they didn't want to lose ground to the team chasing them; only two up two down in those days.
This time seven years later, Derby were league champions and Northampton were back in the 4th division.
Notice how the players weren't diving everywhere or wasting time
Players were sportsmen in those days . Nowadays they are not . Football today is just a mere shadow of what it once was . Of course some things have improved but the most important points and values have all been lost . The beautiful game is not beautiful anymore .
Plz i have a question , if northampton get the second place at championship in 1965 so they play the premier league next year ???? Plz
@@achelharissi8147 Yes - but by 1969 they were, sadly, all the way back down to Division 4 once again.
Good to see a "young Carr" playing here.
his son Alan Carr is the comedian. Dad, Graham had a spell in , in the 70's, with non - league Tonbridge.
really enjoying these old videos - great work
