    Esp against Man City in FA Cup - one of the best Notts matches of all time

    Had a fair few shandies with the likes of Mick Leonard, Rachid Harkouk, Pedro et al back in the day but I think a pint with Sir Jimmy and/or Neil Warnock might have been interesting.

    Jimmy did tell me who his best ever signing was although I told him I disagreed, which as long as I bought him another pint he said he would think about before telling me I was still wrong!

    I remember regularly seeing Jimmy in Lawton's bar at half time during his last few years. He usually ordered a coffee, and more often than not someone in the bar queue would say "Do you want a whisky in that Jim?" Jimmy would give his unique grin and say "Aye, go on then"!

    I'd describe it as 'amazing'. I spent an afternoon with him in the garden outside the Cross Keys at Burton Joyce. I jotted down as many as I could remember of the stories that he shared afterwards. As we sat there, Dave Mackay was inside the pub too.

    Really enjoyable read, brought back some great memories

    Although fortunately, this bit from an article in May 2022 after the playoff defeat to Grimsby wasn't too accurate!

    "Where does all this leave Notts? In a dire place actually. It is difficult to see any kind of future for them that is for sure. They enjoy little media coverage these days and another generation of potential supporters is surely lost to them. The club is dying a slow and painful death".

    Amen to that! It certainly felt very uncertain at the time at best.

    Cherry said it was the best game of his career
