Derby v Millers

Hopefully this match will be on
22nd v 23rd

Many football fans will be familiar with current Rams striker Darren Bent’s famous ‘beach ball goal’ back in 2009 for Sunderland.

But long before that ever happened, Derby County’s Paul Peschisolido scored the coffee cup goal against East Midlands Rivals Nottingham Forest.

In 2004, Derby beat rivals Forest 4-2 at Pride Park, as it was then known as.

The ball was heading towards the Forest goalkeeper Barry Roche, but bobbled into the air which caused him to mis-kick it into the path of Peschisolido, who had an empty net to aim for, this was one of two goals he scored that day.

The coffee cup has since been auctioned, and the goal will be remembered as one of the most bizarre goals in Derby’s history.
