Q – How long have you been following Forest and what was your first game?
I’ve been following Forest since about 1976/7, my dad was in the army and we travelled round alot. My first game was the European Cup Final in 1979, I was 7! Can’t remember too much about it although I still have the t-shirt I wore, it was a synthetic white/yellow and red thing with a big Forest badge on front,League champs on right sleeve and League Cup winners on left sleeve!
Q – What are your most memorable moments as a Forest fan? Good and Bad.
I finally settled down back in UK in 1989, although I had been to quite a few games in early 80’s. But 89/90, 90/91 and 91/92 seasons were all good! especially 4-0 over Utd…7-0 v Chelsea and 6-2 v Norwich. Cup final was a bad moment as I thought we could and should have won that… but the League Cup final vs Wolves made me sob my heart out! Hillsborough was something I will never forget.
Q – Since you have been following Forest, what would your best eleven be? And who is your all time favourite player?
