  1. Brilliant I was at the 1984 game too cant believe it’s 40 years ago Massive end to the season starting with tomorrow Staying up or relegation? Danny stays Danny leaves? These last few games could define what happens for years to come.
  2. That’s the problem its one of those “ never meet your heroes” things i once met Megson . Wish I hadn’t He was presenting at a local football awards evening. He just didn’t seem interested That said we all have bad days i suppose.. Footballers are human after all That said I love threads like this with the little anecdotes. Once played street football with Jeff King as a young lad He used to live on Binstead Way. Always remember him being really small Funny what you remember as a kid
  3. Paul Bradshaw used to run the “ Pro Soccer Coaching” schools locally after his retirement Once went on one as a kid. He would invite players to them. Mark Smith , Chris Turner, amongst them One stood out as having loads of time for us all …. Ray Blackhall… lovely bloke Ernie Moss was great too had loads of time for the kids The 3 day school also included a trip to Wembley to look around the stadium. On the way there was a stop off at Nottingham Forest to meet the first million pound player Trevor Frances The kids 10-12 year olds could ask him any question I asked him why he didn’t sign for Wednesday instead of Forest Cant remember his answer but he must have taken note by signing for us later on RIP Trev
  4. Unbelievable really Having to book the hotels as well! It’s a wonder he has time to coach the team if he doesn’t even get help with that. Have you tried to book a hotel for your holiday and the stress that causes Try booking one for the whole team along with the staff and kit stuff Its a wonder the bloke hasn’t had a nervous breakdown
  5. This is spot on Forget the result today this manager is fantastic and will prove it somewhere wherever that is I love Röhl but I’d sacrifice him to get rid of the regime
  6. Worthington …. 7 /10 every week Totally dependable . Never let us down
  7. While the 91-93 sides were probably the best side with a trophy For me the one I remember most fondly was Wilko’s promotion wining side of 83-84 Lyons, Bannister, Varadi, Megson Shelton Sterland Worthington……… Really good team and all in an era when football was more football and less business.
  8. There certainly nowhere near legends But they are all real characters Should be a good night that
  9. Greed of the ugliest kind Stealing the game from the working man
  10. That kit always reminds me of a period of decline
  11. It’s dropping a bottle of coke You open the top and it explodes we could explode and jump from 23rd to mid table in one game
  12. Leeds must be some team to allow him to come here
  13. Röhl has made anything possible One thing for sure going into those games…… we will be competitive
