Mess 618 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Very collectable these days Ian. I used to buy them in the late 60s just after I started work and had a bit of money. My dad's work mate gave me some from the 40s when I was a kid. The years when Notts had Lawton and Sewell packing out Meadow Lane. Forest didn't hit the heights until Billy Walker took them into the the old First Division in 1958. By then Notts had sunk to Div 4 which was when I started supporting them. I bought the 1915 edition off eBay a few years back. Great reading. The early ones are illustrated by Thomas Henry who also illustrated Richmal Crompton's William books. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deepdene Boy 642 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Mess, we are certainly due a win over the Stags,they seem to have the "eye" over us in recent meetings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,296 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 This is one of those matches where I want both teams to win, Stags to consolidate their place for automatic promotion and Notts to win to help their fight for survival. A draw would probably be OK for the Stags but certainly not enough for Notts. Overall I would have to come down on hoping for a win for Notts as this would put them level with Macclesfield having played the same number of games and then only one point from survival but their goal difference is a concern. Stags would remain 3-6 points clear of a play-off place but having played one or two game more than the teams around them. Good to see the Imps going so well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just read on Wiki that Tommy Lawton took on Tony Hateley and Jeff Astle as apprentices when he was Notts manager in 1957/8. Both of course were fantastic headers of the ball like their mentor. I heard somewhere that one of Lawton's training methods was to get centre forwards to jump onto the edge of a snooker table starting from a standing position. That's some feat! If the Wiki entry is accurate then it would appear Lawton got a raw deal when he was sacked by Notts at the end of the 1957/8 season. It states he only received 3 months salary when he left having been verbally offered a 3 year contract. It also states that when he was Notts manager he went without wages for 6 months to assist the club's finances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Lawton I was given this excellent book about the great man as a Christmas present which I must get round to reading. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Notts-County-Lawton-Football-Histories-ebook/dp/B007SA688I/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1550060778&sr=1-9&keywords=tommy+lawton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too right Deepdene. I read somewhere that we haven't beaten The Stags in 12 years. I was at Meadow Lane in March last season. There was a snow storm and Notts were winning 1-0 but gave away a penalty in the last minute and Kane Hemmings tucked it away. It would be nice to see him score against his old club on Saturday and help us bag a very much needed 3 points. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
