All-time Nottingham Forest XI

 

Shilton

Anderson Walker Burns Pearce

O’Neill Keane McGovern Robertson 

Sheringham Collymore 

 

Best home kit and best away kit:

 

Francis and Gemmill have to included there Tone. 

[Tony Moanero]

On reflection, you can probably tinker with these teams too much. I probably should have just gone with what I had to begin with, which was Storey-Moore and Francis up front. Sheringham was a fantastic player, in my opinion, but he was only at Forest for a season. Collymore was prolific for Forest, albeit one of those seasons was in the second tier. Again, he was a Forest player for a relatively short period of time.

Yes, as I said, it was probably a mistake to leave Francis out. Gemmill  - the scorer of my favourite World Cup goal. Who would you leave out for him, though, mate?

I'd probably drop Keane for him as Gemell was there for the Title and European cup winning team mate, while Keane though a good player for them was only really starting his career then.

Hmmm, I think Ian Storey Moore gets in that side ahead of collymore, Tony. No room for (edit) Archie Gemmill?

I refreshed my memory by watching some footage of old Forest games, mate. Storey-Moore was mostly playing on the wing. Very good player.

[dockers_strike]

Doubt old Nuno will make the end of the season if spurs continue to crash and burn like this.

[Anubis]

Nuno Espirito Derbylossos.

[TheHowieLama]

Give it a rest Arteta you gimp. You have beaten a mid table team at home to become, a mid table team.

Can't get onboard with that home kit being best for Nottingham Forest.

 

This is more like it:

Difficult one, for me. Yes, Keane was young and raw in those days, but he was a very good player even then. He played 150-odd games for Forest, whereas, when I think of Archie Gemmill, I mostly think of Derby County.

Can't help thinking Larry Lloyd a bit unlucky to miss out. His partnership with Burns was the foundation of their success under Clough. Walker was a better player though.

I never miss the opportunity.

 

John Robertson once told me I had a cracking left foot.

If I had to choose a kit from that era, I’d go with the earlier, plain Adidas one. However, the early 90s Umbro pinstripe shirt looks classier, in my opinion. The Adidas ones look a bit cheap, which is unusual, as I’m usually a fan of Adidas kits from that era.

Yes, I picked Walker purely because he was the better player. He was immense for Forest during his first spell at the club.

Hahahaha. Sorry, Spurs, Everton did it FIRST!

Tottenham only the second team in Premier League history to win their first three games of a season and then lose the next three after Everton in 1993-94, who went on to finish 17th.

I nearly went with the plain adidas.

 

The yellowvaway one they had with blue pinstripes was boss.

 

I hate to say it but i was watching The Big Match Revisited earlier - it is on itv every day and is great if not aware of it...loads of games from 70's and 80's...Forest were playing Man Utd from 1980 and Man Utd had a white adidas away kit that was superb (as i say i hate saying it but it really was...

 

 

 

[Captain Howdy]

Watching the analysis on Sky and Tony Adams is on, not seen him before as a pundit. Anyway it got us to talking about English centre halfs, I reckon there aren’t many I would have over Adams. Ledley King sat next to him was no slouch but he had no knees.

It’s a good one, that, Manchester United have had some excellent kits - Admiral home and away, a couple of early Adidas blue third kits.

King was a good player but he is overrated by Tottenham fans, in my opinion. Adams was excellent but there are a few who were better than him.

English? In the modern game?

 

Maybe Campbell and Ferdinand.

It depends what you mean by the modern game. Adams made his debut for Arsenal the best part of forty years ago. I wouldn’t have Campbell over Adams but I would Terry and Ferdinand.

[Captain Howdy]

For me Adams and Ferdinand are the best English centre halfs in my lifetime ( Moore was in my lifetime but I don’t remember him)

Terry was comfortably better than Adams, in my opinion.

Just now, Tony Moanero said:

Not for me Clive, just opinions though, Terry was a fine centre half for sure.
