.... 23 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 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... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I won't name them but I shall just put the 1978/79/80 squad and all their accoutrement's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 None of you gone for Larry Lloyd??? Great player I thought (Got to say that cos he's my mate!!!!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trafalger 1 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Would Nigel Clough have got a game if it had not been his dads ball? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Would Nigel Clough have got a game if it had not been his dads ball? Certainly so...at his peak [which didn't last that long] he was the best playmaker in the English game. Can't recall many cries of nepotism... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I rememeber the media scrumage when he signed, one of the hacks asked him when he expected to play his first game and Clough senior jumped straight in with "When I pick him!!!!!!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 None of you gone for Larry Lloyd???Great player I thought (Got to say that cos he's my mate!!!!!) A fantastic partnership with Kenny Burns (who would have gone near those two!) He was immense for Forest I thought but it's a position that the club have been particularly well-served in over the year, with Walker, Burns, McKinley and Hennessy etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Robt P. !! Quite the opposite of Nepotism I'd have said. "Our centre forward" used to regularly get the rough edge of dad's tongue! Nigel Clough was a fine player I thought. A lack of pace certainly but a very quick brain. He could see situations and read the game extremely well. A fine and incisive passer of the ball and a good finisher too.

BRYCECLARE 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Heres a team to conjur with, all played for Notts and Forest, I have seen them all playing. Darren Ward (G) Geoff Ball John( Bill) Brindley Deceased.God bless him. David Needham Kenny Burns Paul Hart Sammy Chapman Martin O'Neil (Captain) Gary Birtles Nigel Jemson Justin Fashanu Subs Colin Calderwood Gary Fleming Jimmy Cargill (G) Barry Butlin Geoff Thomas Manager Got to be joint Brian Clough/Jimmy Sirrell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Excellent selection... IIRC, Geoff Ball also had a spell at Arsenal...often see him around Bingham...smashing bloke. Jemson - now playing for Ilkeston Town - also lives in the town, as did Martin O'Neill in his playing days. Barry Butlin was much of an enigma, could have been a great player. Hadn't realised Burns played for both clubs! Didn't Dave Watson also play for both, ar am I confusing him with Needham? Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Don't see Colin Barret or Brynn Gunn in there either!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Whisky Jim above Henry Newton, John Barnwell and Terry Hennessey, who are they kidding, I'm surprised Whisky Jim's on there at all, it's a wonder Alex Ingram isn't on the top. Some glaring omissions there, Hindley and Winfield for a start, who compiles these things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I also thought Hindley and Winfield were surprising omissions... IMO, other strong candidates were Tommy Graham, Horace Gager, Stewart Imlach, Jeff Whitefoot, Joe MacDonald, Tommy Wilson, Colin Booth, Jim Iley, Trevor Hockey, Colin Addison and Alan Hinton. Amazing that Bob McKinlay doesn't make the top ten... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 With apologies to Ashley and Beefy, who's at this moment sitting next to the Cottesmore runway in the rain, poor lad, I thought this thread ought to be ressurected as Notts have been getting it all their own way recently. I realised I'd never made a list, here goes: Shilton Anderson Pearce Walker McKinley Newton O'Neill Gemmill Francis Storey-Moore Robertson. So many subs to choose from, Grummitt, Burns, Clarke, McKenzie, Baker, Barnwell, Woodcock, perhaps too many classy players to even think about! Can anyone out there think of an All-Time Mansfield XI ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 can anyone think of a mansfield player! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Dave Wagstaff! The other ten might need some thought... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Lets not forget the immortal Peter Morris and of course those nice gentlemen involved in the Bronco Layne bribery scandals in 1964, Brian Philips and 'Sammy' Chapman, no, not the Forest player, Bob, he wasn't worth bribing, though the two open goals he missed against Sunderland in the late 60's made you wonder.

radfordred 6,284 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Jemson - now playing for Ilkeston Town - also lives in the town, as did Martin O'Neill in his playing days.

rob237 89 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Sorry to read of that... Not that long ago that they were one of the region's major non-league outfits. IIRC, they have had league clubs as FA Cup scalps... Recall seeing some stirring matches at the old Manor Ground in the 60's/70's. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zab 47 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think Jason Lee is currently at Ilkeston Town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
