  2. Saw him twice and once he was ill but played out the full spot. RIP The Hag
  3. I'm still looking for Brain Labone
  4. The Storey-Moore hat trick v Everton will always be my greatest game ever and I went all over Europe as well ; but the hat trick sticks right up there as my No 1. If the King had come back we would have won the cup that year
  5. Pretty much my choice, might have gone for Metgod instead of Henry! and what a bench to call upon .
  6. Local Golf After reading Sea-side golf by John Betjemin With slight persuasion I was made, In my adult years to take up the blade It’s quite energetic this outdoor leisure, but I’ve dabbled before it’ll be a pleasure Borrowed half set and a bag on’t first tee, all present were more experienced than me Addressing my ball to go straight as a die, for some unknown reason its path went awry It started off centre, then as it took flight, ignoring the fairway went straight to the right My trusty Six iron from its bag was withdrawn, to get out of this rough which resembled
  7. the only car number plate I can ever remember was ARR405B which was on my dads Hillman Minx De Luxe, My dad (Ted Roe) always said it knew its own way to the City Ground. Couldnt tell you mine at the moment
  8. "you know what thought did" but I still don't know
  9. Annesley, but Mam came from St Anns and Dad from Annesley
  10. Great win , hope we can beat QPR. Looking good now Cohen is getting match fit and then we've got Britt to come. Oliver Burke looks like he can become and Ian Storey-Moore type player. Get shut of the Embargo and we could be coming up Roses (Bubblewrap)
  11. Maybe we should blame the groundsmen down under, and not the pussy ozzies "Leg side again Mr Larwood" "Yes Mr Jardine"
  12. In the 70's on Forest away match and England games we used to frequent Snows , The Cockney Pride and Wards Irish House all around Leicester Square and Piccadilly, now turned into stores or Aberdeen Angus Steak houses I think. We were only four England fans in Cockney Pride when it filled up with Scots after our 5-1 thrashing of them... we marched out unscathed to the song of "Alan Ball is illegitimate Alan Balls a B*****d" They could have slaughtered us but they just did it for a laugh thank God.
  13. I worked at Newstead and Annesley pits , 22 years in total. The job was hard and dangerous but it made you figure out any way to make it easier . The danger element taught you to be conscientious and caring for your workmates. It was a Brotherhood I will take to my grave. We had some great laughs as well eve if the work was at times soul destroying. It produced great community spirit which has gone forever, glad I was part of it.
  14. I remember him running onto the pitch after Wignall had done a rough tackle on one of their (CCFC) newly promoted players. Welcome to the old first division. RIP Jim
  15. as a kid it was brilliant couldn't even remember being cold. Saw power lines on Annesley Cutting sparking, big drifts higher than the field fences and lots of sledging thats about all I can remember
  16. Wheres the best place to get guitars in Nottingham , I went to Dave Mann for my Takemine G Series Acoustic.
  17. About once every three months I reckon these days, but I always have bacon cobs on match-days mid morning
  18. A rolling stone gathers no moss and (my Dads answer) A standing tree gets pissed on
  19. My Dad always referred to a large sandwich as a Dagwood, Then after many years I found it was named after a cartoon character Dagwood Bumstead; he apparently made these enormous sandwiches. Does anyone else refer to a sandwich as a 'Dagwood' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagwood_sandwich
  20. I'll give Fawaz his due, he pleases the fans unlike some owners (Cardiff Hull etc)
