Bob did get some stick but I remember he turned the corner and became a cornerstone in that back line.

On Magpie Circle Worthington recalls giving the County Road stand the V sign when he scored his one and only goal v Rotherham, a last gasp equaliser.

Not many mentions for big Dave Watson.

Dave Watson left Notts in 1967. He was not a regular in the first team and only made 25 appearances, the majority as a forward.

I know. But a no-nonsense CH when he played there.

Nixon used to also get a lot stick until he scored 14 goals one season he then all of a sudden turned into Tricky Nicky. Great days to be a Maggie.

I was right behind the goal with my cousin who was arguing with some fans slagging him off when he slammed the ball into the net unstoppable shot with a sweave fit for a Brazilian.
Shut the whingers up to the great delight of my cousin.

That's a good story.

Does anybody recall being at Saturday 27th October 1962 v Wrexham, won 3-2? This was the weekend when the Cuban Missile crisis reached boiling point with the threat of imminent nuclear war, I wonder if there was a bit of a weird atmosphere in the ground that afternoon or much chatter about it? It doesn't appear to have had any impact on the gate with people staying at home to white wash their windows and take the inside doors out of their frames to lean against the hallway walls with a matrass to create a makeshift bunker. I can imagine most people just got on with things as normal, not really appreciating the gravity of the situation pre-Threads, QED and Panorama specials frightening the living daylights out of everybody 20 years later.

I can’t remember who we were playing but one of my favourite memories at the lane was seeing Stubbs tearing down the left wing towards the family stand and hitting a perfect cross for little Steve Carter to head in the net - a complete reversal of roles.

Does anyone remember Charlie Crickmore ,there was a famous time in the 70 71 season when he got the ball in the centre circle ,clean through on goal and ran it out by the corner flag,but he was a brilliant crosser of the ball.
