So I have been tinkering with the archives as one is wont to do during that July dry spell. Not going to mention every little change I do but I uncovered a mother lode while prowling Archive.org - namely that Excel spreadsheets for the 2000-02 DDPs were still hosted on the site as late as 2010. Thought they were lost to history yet were under my nose all along! I have now converted all three into proper webpages. https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2000/teams.html https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2001/teams.html https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2002/teams.html I believe this leaves 3 DDPs where selection records are lost to time (96, 97, 99). As an addendum, I was taken back by how many misses the DDP was experiencing even in these nascent years. So I was inspired to set up a page for misses before 2008 (the first year with a standalone LotM page)... https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/list-of-the-missed-early-years/
