The achievements of one of Derby County's most legendary players was celebrated at Pride Park on Sunday - 131 years after the day of his birth.
Steve Bloomer managed to score 400 goals in 650 games.
His most famous feat was during a match between England and Scotland, when he found the back of the net with a left- footed strike from the centre circle.
On Sunday at half time in the game against Sunderland, fans tried to recreate that magic moment.
The team also trained in Steve Bloomer T-shirts.
Artists' impressions were displayed of a statue commissioned of the local hero - which will go outside Pride Park.
A plaque has already been dedicated to him, and his achievements were detailed in the match programme.
