1992 saw the Clarets travel to Derby for a third round replay following a 2-2 draw at the Turf. The initial replay was abandoned due to fog with the Clarets 2-0 down, much to the amusement of the traveling Burnley fans. The return to Derby for what was then the Baseball Ground saw the Clarets again 2-0 down, causing the Burnley fans to respond for most of the second half with the unforgettable, "Jimmy Mullen's Claret and Blue Army," chant. On and on it went until well after the final whistle. The support of the traveling Clarets made the national newspapers, it was that great a show of support. Another one of those 'you had to be there' moments.

In 1999 the Clarets again traveled to Derby in the third round of the competition. The Clarets were riding high in the second division, sitting in fifth place in what was our promotion year, but this was again a big ask against now Premiership Derby County. The Clarets became giant-killers, coming away from Pride Park with a 1-0 victory courtesy of an Andy Cooke header in front of 5,000 traveling Clarets, many of them donning Santa Claus outfits. The highlight of the day though was Glen Little running rings around a fat Georgi Kinkladze, something that would surely have not been possible some three or so years before.
