The second edition of The Rampage is set for release on Thursday 8th October and is packed full of exclusive interviews and club-centric content.
To give you a flavour of what to expect in the latest edition of the new monthly magazine we are releasing an extract to whet the appetite.
In an in-depth interview, spanning nine pages, Tom Lawrence spoke for the first time about the devastating loss of his mum in May 2019 as Derby County pushed for the Play-Offs towards the end of the 2018/19 season.
The Welsh international forward spoke openly about the troubled months following and his comeback to ‘the best place he has been mentally’.
