John Gissing

I started watching Notts when Roby, Withers, Carver and Loxley were playing but can't remember Gissing?

... met his mum - she used to run a retail shop - who said she was by the touchline, right where he received a career-ending tackle. Can hardly imagine a worse scenario, seeing your son's career gone in an instant ...

... what a photo - Tommy, Carver, Wills, Loxley, Wylie and the greatest CH of all, Peter Russell ...

He looks fairly young in the picture below. Possibly taken around the time of his debut.

I think this is from August 1957

Hi all, anyone have any pics of John Gissing?

My mum went to school with his daughter and was asking if I could find any online, no joy so far though?

Thanks for the wonderful memories your post has generated.

Thanks, a thread worth reading.
Reminds me of when I started school in Stapleford 1965, my dad bought me and my brother boots hooped socks duffle bags with pictures of players on and a casey, mine was Notts brothers Forest.
