Timeline
During the season, Straw went on to score 37 goals in league games, equalling the club record set by Jack Bowers during the 1930–31 season, as Derby finished as winners of the Third Division North.
Raymond Straw (22 May 1933 – 13 May 2001) was an English professional footballer.
During a professional career that lasted twelve years, he scored over 140 goals in the Football League in spells with Derby County, Coventry City and Mansfield Town.
In August 1951, he joined First Division side Derby County and made his professional debut in the last match of the 1951–52 season against Chelsea at the age of 18.
However, he was called up for his national service soon after and did not become a regular in the Derby first team until they had been relegated again.
His breakthrough season came in 1955–56 when he scored fourteen goals for Derby as they finished second in the Third Division North behind Grimsby Town.
The following year, Straw's brother offered him a bonus of half a crown for every goal he scored and ten shillings for every hat-trick.
His 37 league goals for Derby during the 1956–57 season remains a joint club record.
Straw was born in the village of Kirk Hallam in Ilkeston.
After leaving school, he worked as a coal miner and played football for non-league side Ilkeston Town, having previously represented his county school level.
In November 1957, Straw joined Coventry City after impressing manager Billy Frith, making his debut in a match against Millwall on 23 November 1957.
After arriving at the club, he was given the nickname "toffee" due to his penchant for chewing sweets.
Straw finished as Coventry's top goalscorer in all four of the seasons he spent at the club, helping them achieve promotion to the Third Division during the 1958–59 season after scoring 27 goals.
His total included a streak of scoring in eight consecutive league and cup matches, the longest streak of any Coventry player after World War II.
By appearing in the Third Division the following season, Straw became the first player to have played in all six divisions of the Football League, from the First Division to the Fourth Division and the North and South sections of the Third Division.
He left Coventry in 1961 to join Mansfield Town where he finished his professional career.
He later played for non-league side Lockheed Leamington.
