Unsung heroes in a Notts shirt

I remember that wedding story making the front page of the Post. Talking of people going AWOL, Pedro’s summer jaunts to Spain were also a regular feature back in the 70s.

Didn’t Hunt score one of the goals in our 2-1 win against Arsenal back in 1981 that stopped the rot of four defeats in a row and showed we could actually compete at the top level? Ah, happy days. I also seem to recall him scoring a “brilliant” own goal against arsenal a few years later, lobbing McDonagh from 20 yards? Also seem to recall a red card against the F-word that season. Blimey, I wish I could remember a few more good things about him given that he played nearly 400 times for us.

Re: the Red card against Forest at the City Ground - I seem to remember that Brian Clough commended him for it, that seeing as Forest were 3-1 up going into injury time he was appalled that they were wasting time by the corner flag as Hunt flew in and kicked the player over & said he would have done the same had he been nearer.

That was the one - couldn’t remember if that one was Hunt or Justin Fashanu who got sent off for that one. Pretty sure we ended with nine men that day. Also seem to recall it being played on a Sunday, although I can’t imagine why given there was no live football at the time.
