Lets face it, even Brian Rice and Justin Fashanu managed one decent goal!
-----------------------------------------------
not for us though

i remember rice scoring a tap in against liverpool once (crossleys debut) but aside from that, the only reason i remember him is an immortal line of commentary when him and david currie messed up an attck between them and the commentator said......

'currie and rice make a meal of it'

don't be daft, that was for norwich,

we signed him cos he used to score goals like that but inevitably, he caught the forest striker disease and was as useless as most strikers are when they come here

Cheeky,

Isn't it actually the truth that our fabled one saw the one decent goal he scored for Norwich and decided to pay 1 million for him. Meanwhile Bond snapped off Cloughies hand and ran all the way to the bank.

This all occured after Peter Taylor left. It was well known that PT was the scout and Brian was the motivator, Brians purchases went down hill for a while after PT did the traitor on him.

Sorry to talk about our king in a less than perfect light but it's the truth.

London,
No Fashanu was signed on PT reccomendation as was the other non scorer Wallace, that was one of the reasons tensions arose between them.
But there were several others that I will never mention

i'm a younster. only been supportin forest since about 1997. but i saw a video of robertson a bit ago and saw what all the fans who were around back then go on about. he was brilliant. no idea how he took on so many players. he was slower than commons and reid combined. but the skill and crosses were perfect. what we'd give to have someone of even half his ability at forst now.

ESPN is very big over here. I don't watch it since it's always full of American b......t. Most of the commentators make fun of any sport that doesn't have it's origins in the U.S. and even football, the most popular sport on the planet is ridiculed, and cricket, forget about it, it's way too complex for the North American sports fan so they just ignore it in droves. I don't read Sports Illustrated for much the same reason and how can baseball have a world series when only American teams play in it (apart fom the Toronto Blue Jays) Everything is billed as the greatest sporting event ever even though The World Cup outdraws all of these events by a very wide margin! No wonder everybody dislikes the Yanks, there's America and everything else is second rate! That's my rant for the day folks!

Turtlewax,
Thats the yanks for you,
I am always amused when they call the baseball final the world series when it's only played in America

Yes, and they even have a hard time with Ice Hockey which got it's start in Canada. We have the National Hockey League with about 30 teams and only the ones in Canada do really well. I have nothing against the people in general but I do get tired of all the criticism of anything not American. Of course it doesn't help living right next door. Most of our TV comes from there so it's a constant flow. I suppose a lot of your "telly" programmes come from there also?
