Grave of football hero who defied the Nazis restored after heartwarming campaign
The family of a hero Derby County goalkeeper, who refused to give Nazi salute in defiant gesture against Hitler in a 1930s match, has thanked fans after his rundown grave was restored The rundown grave of a one of football's bravest heroes has been restored following a fundraising campaign. John 'Jack' Kirby was goalkeeper for Derby County when he heroically defied Adolf Hitler's Nazis. Derby were on tour in Germany in 1934 and when they played matches the team was ordered to all give Nazi salutes. All did, except Kirby who refused point blank and was captured in this iconic photo showing his contempt. He was buried in Derbyshire, but his grave fell into a state of disrepair until historian and Derby fan Kal Singh Dhindsa launched a campaign to raise money to repair it. Kal, 45, a supply teacher, told the Mirror: 'When I first saw the photo I was immediately in awe of this man. "What an inspirational player - having the bravery to stand up to Hitler and Nazi Germany. When I started this appeal there were donations from supporters from all sorts of clubs. Lots from Derby but also from our rivals Nottingham Forest. It was lovely to see the football world come together to honour such a man. 'Jack Kirby is a Derbyshire legend of defiance. It was a pleasure to see this through. The original grave was in a very weathered state. It was almost impossible to find then decipher what was written on it. "Myself and family members decided that the best thing to do would be to restore it as close as possible to what it looked like when it was first put down. Despite never meeting him, Jack Kirby's great-niece, Rachel Kirby, said she idolised her great-uncle for his defiant act 90 years ago. She said: 'His grave had become weathered and unrecognisable to fans, but thanks to Kal and generous supporters, it has now been beautifully restored, with the lettering once again clear for all to see.' Rachel said her Uncle Jack shared a close bond with her father, Douglas. Even into his 90s dad took great pride in visiting the grave and laying flowers, but sadly we lost dad to dementia," she added. "I know how he would have been deeply moved by this tribute. I'm incredibly proud and so thankful to everyone who donated, shared, and supported. I'd love people to visit and remember him." Born in South Derbyshire on 30 September 1909, Kirby made 191 appearances for the Rams after arriving from Derbyshire-based Newhall United in Derby County's tour in 1934, Kirby refused to salute in all four matches in four cities against German teams, of which the Rams lost three and drew one

USMNT: Agyemang completes reported $8 million move to Derby County
Patrick Agyemang is officially an American Abroad, as the U.S. men's national team striker's long-rumored move to Derby County was confirmed Tuesday. The now-former Charlotte FC forward is heading to the English Championship in a deal widely reported to be worth an initial fee of $8 million, with a potential for that figure to rise to $10 million should some unspecified bonus requirements be met. Agyemang's transfer caps off a wild 18 months for the Connecticut native. After starting his pro career off with Charlotte's MLS Next Pro affiliate Crown Legacy FC (where he scored 10 times in 12 appearances), Agyemang was called up to MLS. The early returns weren't anything to write home about: four goals in 16 appearances in all competitions, including just one in 12 MLS league matches. However, Agyemang grew in stature in 2024, scoring 10 goals after taking over as the full-time starter under Dean Smith. That in turn caught the eye of new USMNT boss Mauricio Pochettino, who gave the 6-foot-4 striker his first cap in January. Agyemang scored on his debut, and was first-choice throughout this summer's Gold Cup (where he scored two goals). Overall, Agyemang has five goals in his 12 USMNT appearances, and leaves Charlotte having scored eight times in 18 matches this season. Derby will need him to carry on performing at a high level. The Derbyshire-based club were relegated to League One after the 2021-22 season thanks in significant part to a 21-point penalty over financial problems, with the possibility of folding not completely out of the question. The Rams climbed back into the Championship after two seasons, but needed to collect seven points from the final three matches of the season to stay up. Derby finished 19th last season, avoiding the drop by a single point. Agyemang's transfer wasn't necessarily one that Charlotte stood in the way of, but Smith — who has played and coached in the English second tier — last week cautioned the target man to go elsewhere if he was dead set on leaving MLS. L'Equipe had linked Agyemang to interest from Ligue 1 clubs Lens and Nice. "I've had the conversation with Patrick and my answer was, I don't think he should [go to Derby]," Smith said at a press conference. "The Championship is not too much different from MLS. This is a major league over here. You're going to a second league in the U.K."

Jeremy Clarkson's emotional farewell as 'lifesaver' leaves Diddly Squat Farm
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS. The fresh episode of Clarkson's Farm on Prime Video has been a hit with fans as Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper, and newcomer Harriet Cowan deal with an unruly boar on their patch. A vet advised Clarkson that the boar, showing aggressive tendencies towards other pigs, was not suitable for the farm. While the rest of the Diddly Squat Farm team were pleased to bid adieu to the cumbersome creature, another goodbye struck a sadder note. In a touching scene from episode three, Clarkson confided: "No one was upset to see Harvey [the boar] leave. "But it was now time for another departure from Diddly Squat, and that was a bit sad." Farmhand Harriet prepared to leave while Clarkson tenderly said: "So that's it, you're off.", reports Surrey Live. Clarkson inquired, "Are you off back to Derbyshire?" Harriet nodded about her homeward journey, prompting him to warmly advise her, "Well, listen, you have been an absolute star,". (Image: BANG Showbiz) (Image: PRIME VIDEO) (Image: PRIME VIDEO) He sincerely thanked her, "Thanks ever so much for all you have done, you have been absolutely brilliant, "You saved my life, you did." Jeremy had originally needed extra hands at the farm when Kaleb took off on his tour, and it was pal Charlie Ireland who recommended Harriet, the Derbyshire-based nurse with solid farming chops from her dad's place. Despite knowing Harriet was only ever meant to be a temporary fixture at the farm, saying farewell didn't come easy for Jeremy. In a moment of levity, he joked, "When we get stuck again, can I give you a call?" to which Harriet assured him she would always be there to lend a hand. As she said goodbye to her temporary haunt, a static caravan, she quipped, "When you and Lisa fall out, she can come and live here." He responded with a chuckle, "I like your thinking, I approve of that," as he showed his appreciation for his "lifesaver" upon their parting. He fondly remarked, "She's a superstar, that one," while watching Harriet depart. Initially, Kaleb wasn't exactly thrilled to meet another young farmer at Diddly Squat, but a sense of fellowship soon blossomed between them.
