Nottingham Forest Archive - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 21-12-2020
On this day 21/12 in 1996 Nottingham Forest in Stuart Pearce's first game as player/manager defeated Arsenal thanks to Alf-Inge Haaland's brace at The City Ground.
What an atmosphere that was. Can't believe it was 24 years ago
RE: Nottingham Forest Archive - Salvatore Matrecano - 21-12-2020
Wow that was 24 years ago?
Was a great day remember it well, the game turned on Ian Wright getting sent off and can still see the ball dropping nicely to Alfie’s foot in the las minute followed by bedlam.
Think the sending off was due to some world class play acting by Jerkan if I remember? About the best thing he did in his Forest career. Now then how about we sign Alfies son?

I remember that game.
Did Nigel play?
RE: Nottingham Forest Archive - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 21-12-2020
Nigel was on the bench but he came on for Bryan Roy, Kevin Campbell and Dean Saunders partnered Roy up front.
RE: Nottingham Forest Archive - Alf Garnett - 22-12-2020
What I would give to have that front 3 now, Campbell, Saunders and Roy.
RE: Nottingham Forest Archive - ThePromisedLand - 22-12-2020
Not so sure about Saunders?
RE: Nottingham Forest Archive - Alf Garnett - 22-12-2020
It's true that he wasn't great for us but he had a great career at Derby and Liverpool.
RE: Nottingham Forest Archive - Salvatore Matrecano - 22-12-2020
All 3 of them in their day were top quality premier league strikers. Unfortunately that season, Saunders was on the decline, Campbell still hadn't got over a long term back injury and Roy was moping around trying to get a move away.

On this day 26/12/1977 Nottingham Forest drew 0-0 with Liverpool in front of 47,000 spectators at the City Ground.
I unfortunately had to miss this match because I broke my leg a few days before.
