Do I, not 'arf.XM657- do you remember the Albert Modley -Tram Driver Sketch?
No, sorry.XM657- Yes, I saw Albert Modley at the old Empire. I also, remember, 'Up For T'Cup' but remember it as George Formby. Maybe they were both in the film.

Once a massive football ground
No, you’re right. It was Albert ModleyNo, sorry.
It's the memory, get crossed wires, so to speak, I'm the same myself. Brains like a muscle needs exercising.
Covid hasn't helped not being able to get out and mix/chat, this Forum is a God send, helps keep our brains alert, though some may not agree, so a BIG 'Thank You' to all who work to keep it running.
I didn't quite make my self clear, was saying no to George Formby being in 'Up for the Cup'
Mr Blobby alus made me laugh, was his movement that got me, despite his going over the top and also fell in with our kids so a family thing also.Going through some junk in the shed and came across this. Did it ever make it to a second edition? Anyone recognise any of the names?View attachment 114415View attachment 114416View attachment 114417View attachment 114418View attachment 114419View attachment 114420
Looking at our kit I would think 1967/68 v Leicester or maybe ChelseaNot particularly clear, but great photo of the old Kop,cricket scoreboard and pavilion.
What year and who are the opponents?
Has to be Leicester the opponents either in Nov 1966 (lost 1-0) or in Nov 1967 (0-0). The clue is the badge Leicester wore in the 1960s, They wore blue shots from 1966 to 1969. We wore white shorts in both matchesNot particularly clear, but great photo of the old Kop,cricket scoreboard and pavilion.

We wore black shorts v Chelsea both in April 1967 and May 1968 (the only time for our home games in 1967-68 season)Looking at our kit I would think 1967/68 v Leicester or maybe Chelsea
Yes my original thought it was Leicester, hard to make out any of their players thoughWe wore black shorts v Chelsea both in April 1967 and May 1968 (the only time for our home games in 1967-68 season)
Not seen Mr John Street in ages, hope to meet him again very soon UTB.Going through some junk in the shed and came across this. Did it ever make it to a second edition?

Remember it well, SB. Mick Hill played for Ipswich, he used to occasionally go in the Heeley Social club on Broadfield Road, think he took plenty of good humoured stick after that, I believe Len opened the scoring too.
was a stange one that silent white shorts all season then black for that tragic last game mind ive always thought it was the fulham home game that cost us 2 up and lost 3 - 2We wore black shorts v Chelsea both in April 1967 and May 1968 (the only time for our home games in 1967-68 season)

I was sent the photos by a good friend who supports Forest, he is saying, 1966, Forest winning 2-1.Not particularly clear, but great photo of the old Kop,cricket scoreboard and pavilion.

We also wore white shorts for home games between Sept 1966 and Dec 1966. Spurs brought their black shorts for a midweek league game at the Lane so the ref ordered us to wear white shorts. We won the the match and carried on playing with the "lucky" white shorts but switched back to black shorts after the 3-2 defeat to Birmingham in the League Cup quarter final. The record for home League and League Cup matches during that period were played 11, won 7, drew 2 and lost 2 (both the last two games of the period)was a stange one that silent white shorts all season then black for that tragic last game mind ive always thought it was the fulham home game that cost us 2 up and lost 3 - 2
August 27th 1966? That is interesting because I thought the Spurs game was the first home game we wore white shorts in the 1966-67 season.I was sent the photos by a good friend who supports Forest, he is saying, 1966, Forest winning 2-1.
Is your friend sure it wasnt the opening game of the 1967-68 season (Forest won 3-1) because it looks like in the photo that the spectators are in the BLUT? The first time spectators were allowed in the BLUT was in our 2-0 win against Sunderland on 15/10/1966I was sent the photos by a good friend who supports Forest, he is saying, 1966, Forest winning 2-1.
The pitch does look in good nick, more like August than NovemberAugust 27th 1966? That is interesting because I thought the Spurs game was the first home game we wore white shorts in the 1966-67 season.

The corner taker looks like Bernard Shaw (number 3?) although not sure about the use of the right foot.
yes we lost to forest 3 - 1 first game 1967 remember being in the ground at 1.30 that day lol then once the pre match drinking era started it was usually 2.50Is your friend sure it wasnt the opening game of the 1967-68 season (Forest won 3-1) because it looks like in the photo that the spectators are in the BLUT?

ps pretty sure that was the last game we stood lower down behind the goal the derby against wednesday everybody congregated right at the top of the kop for the first time and stayed up there till 92yes we lost to forest 3 - 1 first game 1967 remember being in the ground at 1.30 that day lol then once the pre match drinking era started it was usually 2.50
I’ll check it doesn’t look like an August day though.Is your friend sure it wasnt the opening game of the 1967-68 season (Forest won 3-1) because it looks like in the photo that the spectators are in the BLUT?

A dull day at Goodison Park too on the same day as we lost 3-1 to Forest on 19th August 1967. The BLUT wasnt open to spectators until October 1966 so I dont think the photos were the 2-1 defeat in August 1966I’ll check it doesn’t look like an August day though.
