Who are we playing here?

Not seen this photo before
Blades 0 WBA 0 on a rainy day in August 1971 just after winning the first 4 matches of the season. John Kaye on the far left and John Wile on the far right. Not sure who is in the middle. Might be Graham Lovett

Just had a look at the line up. Lovett didnt play in that match so I think it was George McVitie

 

[vorpal blade]

Was McVitie a Nice player?

Asa Hartford?

Asa Hartford?

Hartford has blond hair and is smaller than that!

I heard the Foxes made a bid for him.

That's Graeme Crawford - I recognise him out of my 1971/72 Soccer Stars Album!

I don't remember him ever playing though!

I fully admit to being a road sign geek. Those pre-Worboys signs are turning me on summat fierce...

Bitter-sweet memories of going to this game. Clough's last game in charge of Forest.
The 2-0 win secured our place in the top flight and relegated Forest.

Are you sure it secured our place in the top flight,I thought going into the game we were comfortable in mid table?,this game brings back only good memories,sunshine,drinking in the Larwood and Voce tavern pre game,a majestic goal from Hodges,comfortable 2-0 win,and giving the great man a rousing send off

It absolutely mattered, and even still had to go and beat Everton in midweek afterwards. Even then we still had a mathematical chance (with a massive GD swing) of going down on the last day when we put that to bed by hammering Chelsea 4-2 at the Lane on a fantastic performance (was 4-0 at one point I think).

I think I had best cancel that Memory man challenge competition I have entered,

Don't cancel that memory man challenge.
Our final position flattered us, but as you can see, it was close at the bottom:

Looking back through the mists of time,I remember this game as a jolly day out in the Nottingham sunshine with not a care in the world,in reality I will have been a jibbering nervous wreck drinking too much to try and ease my anxiety

The good old days when there were 22 teams in Div 1, as I like to think of it and of those, only 10 are there this season.
