Bogey Teams

Someone's mentioned Forest. I don't recall us beating them from 1977 onwards however they were at a much higher level than us with Cloughie

[jocksgloves]

Didn't Steve Downes score in a win there? Circa 1968, or have I made that up?

His father was a TEA POT !

Didn't he get banned for calling the Kettle black?

Just checked - I don't think that we ever played Nottm. Forest whilst Steve Downes was with us. He scored against Notts County though
