He always had Radio Nottingham on ,football, cricket and rugby, but it was Notts that drew me in, the underdog and the real Nottingham football club! Finally on New Year's Eve 1977 me Dad took me down the Lane. Cold day buy decent crowd, 8000plus v Bristol Rovers! 2 nil down at halftime and quite a hostile atmosphere! I was already hooked before Sir Les banged two in and when we were 3-2 up, the chant of Super Notts reverberated around the Lane and that was it!!COYP!!!!!
