In this episode of Life After the Rams, we sit down with Colin Todd — a player whose name is woven into the fabric of Derby County’s greatest era. As the perfect partner to Roy McFarland at the heart of Clough and Taylor’s iconic back line, Todd helped build a defensive foundation that carried the Rams to the very top of English football.

We explore the mindset behind his calm authority, the moments that defined his time in the shirt, and the lessons he carried into life beyond the pitch. From title‑winning memories to the quieter truths of what comes after football, this is a conversation that reveals the man behind the medals.

A special two-parter for Christmas featuring one the Rams' greats - Roy McFarland. His association with Derby County began in 1967.

Part One charts Roy’s remarkable relationship with the old Wembley Stadium. From pulling on the England shirt and suffering the agony of injury, to the redemption of scoring in the Charity Shield, Wembley was both a stage of triumph and heartbreak. The story culminates in 1994, when as Derby County manager Roy led the Rams into the play‑off final against Leicester City — only to see promotion slip away. It’s a journey through highs, lows, and the emotional pull of football’s most iconic venue.

Part 2 is out on Boxing Day
