I was in the kid's pen in the East Stand at the Bridgford End.

What a day.

Now anybody got any footage of when we went to Derby and won 2-0 scorers B Lyons and I Storey-Moore, particularly good day out as we could sing the prophetic song we had been singing all season "When Ian moore scores a goal you can shove your hector up your hole etc".
 

Riverside Red

Youth Team
What an atmosphere, I'll be honest it looked like someone could easily be crushed at times, however safer standing should be an option to capture that kind of atmosphere again at matches.

Thanks for the link to the Everton game.
I was among the throng on the Kop...
The foul by Brian Labone on Joe Baker was cynical, premeditated and he should have given a straight red, plus he should have been done for GBH.
Effectively finished Baker's career.
Still, Storey-Moore delivered the goods.

Wow. Some of the football played there is genuinely brilliant. Some lovely diagonal through balls, and one quite incredible save from the keeper.

Watching the Trent End go ballistic after Storey-Moore's goal gave me chills, and I wouldn't even be born for another 20 years.

A far cry from some of the diving, overpaid nonsense we call football these days.

brilliant,
great times to have watched forest
we may not have won anything in the 60's but we played
some good football and we were known for playing good football,
has anyone have any highlights of when forest played
Eintracht frankfurt in 1967 inter city fairs cup match one of
the best games forest have ever played,

Dont think us who were growing up in those days realise how lucky we were. Not just with the great Carey team but all the other sporting stars that were around in our era. In football, Best Moore Law Charlton and internationally Pele Eusabio and Beckenbau to name a few. In cricket we had the great Sir Gary just across .the road. In boxing Cassius Clay. Golf Jack Nicholas and Arnold Palmer. And in rugby my all time sporting hero Willy John McBride. Halcyon days

In the East Stand for me that day - being a footy fan in those days was so much better an atmosphere to be part off. A great side with great players but no way the same as the "golden years" of Sir Brian .. and it contained more than a couple of later traitors of course!
