Capitulation seems a popular talking point at the moment which brings to mind, in my way of thinking one of Forest's worst. The F.A. Cup debacle against Southampton in 1963. Anyone else remember that?

OK Bill as best as I remember. F.A. Cup 6th Round. First Division Forest at home to Second Division Southampton.
Ended in a 1-1. Replay at the Dell, Forest lead 3-0 but Southampton come back and draw 3-3.
Second replay at White Hart Lane, Forest lose 5-0, managing to allow eight goals without reply.
Maybe a statistician can come along and fill in what my memory has forgotten.

If you remember the 60s, you weren't there! Sorry, just that I had forgotten that match.
Mind you, I don't remember much of the 60s, so much going on.

I remember the Cup Final in '59, but after that it is a bit of a blur until '66.

I think it's something to do with us being wartime babies.

The winter of 62-3 was a really bad winter - lots of snow and ice. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_1962%E2%80%9363_in_the_United_Kingdom) Looking at our results on Statto, it looks like we only played one game in January '63.
Between December 8th and March 9th we played 9 league games and lost all of them. There were 3 more league games between then and the defeat to Southampton a 1-0 win home to 17th placed Bolton, a 1-0 away win at bottom of the table Orient and a 0-0 draw aqay at Arsenal.
We obviously managed to win 3 games in the cup to reach the sixth round, but it sounds like we may have lost players to injury to see such a drop in form.

One of the ladies who worked with me in our bookshop saw me trying to get the last specks of jam out of a jar and she reckoned that had something to do with wartime rationing too.
