    ......... congratulations Happy, most of us can remember being 5 years old and starting school etc, so assuming you were this age when you started seeing your first Notts game with Albert in goal, I wish you all the best in your 97th year.

    On the door of Dobsons Colwick.

    Some come here to sit & think
    Some come here to **** & stink
    I come here to scratch my balls
    And read the writing on the walls

    A very old factory with a row of "traps" that you could spend hours in just reading the graffiti.

    Gordon Bradley used to come on Bridgford Park and play football with us gave us some coaching, he was also a very good tennis player and would take me and my sister to play in the tennis courts on the park during the summer, he taught us how to play a really top gent. Ernie Taylor ?, another Notts player also lived on our road I believe he came from Man. Utd. Dennis Marshall our former secretary after Chick Heath lived around the corner close by him was Jeff Whitefoot and Jackie Sewell, as a kid I was surrounded by them.
    Lovely memories ....... I remember Chick Heath but was too young to meet him for conversation. Dennis sold me my first ST for 7 guineas, I remember Jeff Whitefoot keeping the Waggon and horses at Daybrook and also having a kick around one Saturday morning on Bridgford Park with some pals along with Wally Ardron's son who wasn't a bad player.

    The quality of bog hole graffiti has definitely declined over the years.

    Mick Leonard for me for about one game before Steve Cherry took over. Still haven't seen a better display from a Notts keeper than the Man City game in the cup

    Gordon Bradley

    The best goalkeeping display I’ve seen? Eric McManus at the Baseball Ground in the 3rd Round of the League Cup in 1976. Dave Mackay, Derby’s manager at the time, said after the game “A once in a lifetime performance, and it had to be against us.”

    Small in goalkeeper terms but still one of our recent best.
    Small in some ways! Yeah, Cherry was my first too.

    I remember we sold George to Hartlepool the 4th division whipping boys at the time---they beat us 1-0
    I played at Bestwood Colliery with Terry their cousin I believe. A bloody good Notts Alliance player.

    Indeed it has, it seems limited to "xxxxx is a slag" or a crude drawing of a knob nowadays. My first memory is from the cafeteria bogs upstairs in Woolworths in the 60s where you had to put a pre-decimal penny in the slot to enter, and someone had penned:

    "Here I sit broken hearted, paid a penny but only farted".

    Only on NCM could a goalkeeper thread and toilet graffiti merge seamlessly into one!
