Rod Thomas, a member of Derby County's 1974-75 First Division title-winning side, has died at the age of 78.

The defender made 118 appearance for the Rams after joining them from Swindon, with whom he won the League Cup, in 1973.

Thomas was a key member of Dave MacKay's championship side which finished two points clear of Liverpool and Ipswich Town and went on to win the Charity Shield ahead of the following season.

He also won 50 caps for Wales and went on to play for both Cardiff City and Newport County.

RIP <rose>
 
Sad news and unexpected although he struggled with alcohol and mental health issues for the last 20 years. A great batsman against fast bowling, he hit 167 off 163 balls against Australia - how we could do with him now. RIP <rose>
