Good player, but can’t ever forgive him for threatening to take England players on strike at a major tournament, cos one of his dopey mates forgot/couldn’t be arsed doing a random drugs test.
I’m so old I remember them winning the League title with Alf Ramsey as manager and Ray Crawford at centre-forward :(
Didn’t they get promoted in something like 1960/61 and won the old First Division title in their first season up? I’m assuming that’s what you’re talking about, GL.
I’m not sure if that ever happened before that, or since. Well no, it’s certainly not happened since.
(and no, I didn’t google that. I used to collect programmes and the old Charles Buchan books and magazines-sold them on ebay when I got wed. )[/quote]
They’re the last team to win the Div2 and Div1 title in back to back years. I know Forest got promoted in the 70’s by finishing 3rd, then won the Div1 title the year after (think it was 1978).

Tuesday’s with Morrie is a very good read. ‘Five people you meet in heaven’ is even better IMHO. ‘For one more day’ is a decent read, but not in the same quality as the other 2.
I asked a mate of mine who knows nothing about football to explain the offside rule by the time England V USA kicked off. His response was “Don’t try and catch me out, I know that the offside rule is different in the World Cup”.
Stoke have Peter Reid and Gerry Francis in their coaching staff. Experience in abundance there. Could do with some of the same. Also John Rudge knocking about too
