westyorksnffc 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Okay, my first game was 1983, so from the players I've seen I'd have to go (in a 4-4-1-1 formation):- GK Sutton RB Laws CB Walker CB Cooper LB Pearce© CM Hodge RM Stone CM Webb LM Woan F Clough CF Collymore Subs: Camp, Sheringham, Keane, Metgod, Chettle, Jenas, Dawson.

... 1,411 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just for hard graft and loyalty,Stuart Pearce would be in my line up,also useful with set pieces,as for forest managers I would love him to match cloughie ,but perhaps.that's impossible for anyone.

Duce 2 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hello! Tell me, why even extended lists of the best is not present Bill Whare (1946-1960)? In contrast, from the same Joe McDonald ... Whare also won the FA Cup, for a long time played for Forest, was one of the best tackles of artists in the division ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Annesleyred1865 137 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Here we go then. The other side of the Trent and with all due respect to The Maggies, it's going to be a otugher task this time with the great European sides and the 1966/7 team within my remit. Not to mention some damn good players through the eighties and nineties. Again, it's the same era for me - !967 onwards. Some tough choices to make but this is my honest opinion. Peter Shilton Viv Anderson Des Walker Kenny Burns Stuart Pearce Roy Keane Henry Newton Archie Gemmill John Robertson Trevor Francis Joe Baker Subs: Peter Grummitt Terry Hennessy Duncan McKenzie Ian Storey-Moore Stan Colleymoore Managers: Brian clough Peter Taylor Trainer: Tommy Cavanagh Some fine players not even on the subs bench there, jeez! Tony Woodcock Nigel Clough Neil Webb Martin O'Neill Steve Hodge Martin O'Neill Garry Birtles And so on... Pretty much my choice, might have gone for Metgod instead of Henry! and what a bench to call upon . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Welcome to Nottstalgia, Duce. I look forward to reading your posts and sharing your memories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Two others that come to mind are Jim Iley and Calvin Palmer . Being a bit of a midfield schoolboy player used to pretend I was Jim Iley . Always thought he was a classy player . Not sure why Calvin Palmers name entered my brain though remember him as a hard working midfielder , otherwise can't remember much about him ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Merthyr Imp 729 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I remember seeing Jim Iley as player-manager of Peterborough United. He took all the free kicks and corners - probably a good many of the throw-ins as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,139 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 #36 Duce.............i remember Bill Whare,noted for his great 'slide tackles' would probably get sent off for em today,.......met him when he had the Pub at Redhill............and David ref Calvin Palmer,brilliant stylish wing half, in the Jim Iley mould,.....think he was mentioned on here when he died last year,God bless him.

Duce 2 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Michael Booth, thanks for the warm welcome! benjamin 1945, grateful for a few words about Whare! We have a site of the Russian-speaking supporters of the Forest. Currently, the Forum holds a vote to determine the top 33 players in the club's history. In positions (4-4-2).If you are interested - I can report on the voting results for each game role. I myself support the Forest since childhood, from 1979, while still with the newspaper and magazine reading. Broadcast of matches and recording of old games became available much later. Nottingham I was the spring of 2009, at the same time visited the City Ground (Forest vs Wolves). Local supporters were very surprised that someone is interested in Russia and is a fan of Nottingham Forest) P.S. I'm sorry for bad english ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,139 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Duce..........your English is very good,better than my Russian,........and just another bit about Bill Whare............his full back partner before Mcdonold was Geoff Thomas,who was a great servant to Forest in the 50s,..and i felt sorry that he missed the 59 cup final..........
