[queenslandpie]

1. the top flight - Michael Johnson (born 1973)
2. the 2nd tier - ??????
3. a cup final - Tommy Gallagher (born 1974)


Five players born after Michael Johnson played in the 2nd tier for Notts, including Tommy Gallager but he isn't the youngest.
Slawson is older than Michael Johnson, it's not him.

Micky Galloway?

Two more names to juggle with maybe Jermain Pennant & son of Pedro worth throwing in maybe.

I dont think Pennant ever played a league game for us. I have vague memories of being at Bramall Lane in the FA Cup and he came on as a sub.

did Ian Ridgway play in 2nd tier

Pennant was given his debut by Allardyce in the FL Trophy against Hull and then played at Bramall Lane, you're lucky to have caught sight of him in a Notts shirt. I went to almost every home game that season and didn't get to see him play.

Pedro's son was quite recent.

We should do the oldest living man for each of those categories as well, I'd know two of them but not the oldest 2nd tier player. There must be a fair few still alive from the 1950/51-1957/58 era. Willie Carlin would be oldest surviving 2nd tier player from the 1970s having played against Sunderland on 1st September 1973 and born on 6th October 1940 (three days before John Lennon).

I know Michael Simpson was mentioned earlier but did anyone suggest him for 2nd tier? I'm sure he's a year younger than Michael Johnson?

On a bit of a side note, I had completely forgotten or even never realised Jim Gannon made two appearances for us in the 2nd tier on loan from Stockport.
