The very first meeting of the two came Saturday 24th November 1888. The very first football league game for Derby County football club and Blackburn Rovers of course. The result was a disappointing 2-0 loss on the Racecourse Ground Derby, followed up by a 3-0 defeat on Monday 24th April 1889 at Ewood Park.

Derby County have a poor record against Blackburn, winning 33 games to Blackburn’s 48, with 33 games drawn. In fact the Rams have only won 11 games at Ewood Park during the whole 125 years of competition. The trend is reversed when Derby County play at home however, with the Rams winning 22 games to Blackburn’s 15 with a surprising 20 games drawn.

There are some very high scoring games between Derby County and Blackburn Rovers. The highest aggregate score line being Derby County 8 Blackburn Rovers 5 in the 1890-91 season on Saturday 6th September, John Goodhall scoring four that thrilled a crowd of just 4,500. Sadly Blackburn gained revenge just four months later thumping the Rams 8-0 on the 3rd January 1891.
