At 0.27 that's the steps of the supporters club I used to sleep on waiting for the ticket office to open next day for Wembley ticketsEd me in tears yet again at 9:10
And at 10:42 the **** behind Cluffy who works for Sky and still reports now, I have never liked since that day, iz look of disgust and complete lack of humour when Cluffy said "Brian, I'll ring you if I'm bored" is abhorrent.
A few seconds later when Cluffy sez "tek care lads" he's sheepishly trying to get his attention, the TWAT.
I think he's had some a Cluffy's short shrift before that day ya know

I think Clough thought it was Schteve McClaren

Clough thought that the guy was going to attack the referee as he had just awarded Watford a penalty.
It appears that the guy, Martin Jackson, was an attention seeker and had previously run onto the Lords Ground dressed as Superman.
He told the Daily Mirror that he was unemployed which is why he did things like that, and that really he is just a Nottinghamshire sports nut.

Probably more the other way round. He was unemployed BECAUSE he did things like that.

That went through my mind too when I read it.

There was a spate of those types of incursions at that time, ranging from streakers to clowns like Jackson.
I'm sure each of them had their interior motives but for a lot of them I'm sure it was also about notoriety and the obligatory Sunday tabloid interview, for which you'd get paid a few Bob.
Erica Roe stands out for the infamy and the rounds of TV interviews and photoshoots she did after.
Today, we have Reality TV for that.

I’m sure Pat Jennings doesn’t need to dine out on the back of Brian Clough.Pat Jennings still dining out on Cloughie's letter
He was a great goalkeeper (the best I’ve ever seen-slightly ahead of Banks and Shilton in my view).
I saw him on a flight from Manchester to Belfast in the mid 90’s (10 years after he had retired)-he still looked
in great shape.

The game was December 1st 1979 and ended in a 1-1 draw. The previous two league games against Arsenal ended 2-0 and 2-1 to Forest in 1977-8 and 1978-9 respectively. Perhaps Jennings was even better at stopping darts than shots!
The guy who threw the dart was identified and got a lifetime ban. I wonder how much he has regretted his stupidity over the years?

Forest to escape ground closure
Forest to escape ground closure
EUROPEAN champions Nottingham Forest confidently expect their City Ground to still be open for business after today's FA Disciplinary Committee investigates an incident which left Arsenal goalkeeper Pat Jennings with a dart in his arm.
The teenage fan who threw the dart was subsequently been banned for life from Forest's ground and dealt with by the courts. Forest hope that their good crowd control record and the fact that other spectators helped identify the offender will persuade the FA to be lenient.
They have been charged, along with Norwich, whose Carrow Road Ground was the scene of similar incidents on the same day, under rule 39a, which states that clubs are responsible for the actions of their spectators.
The FA have the power to close the grounds or impose a heavy fine or both. Norwich will also be relying on their good record to help them explain how Aston Villa goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer was felled by a hail of coins.
Norwich will point out that they have spent £½m on ground safety measures over the put two seasons, including a nine-foot fence in front of the Barclay Stand, from where the coins and smoke bombs were thrown.
Chairman Sir Arthur South said: "We have erected impenetrable barriers and have separated the fans. But it's impossible to stop people throwing coins. This club has a responsibility to do everything we possibly can to minimise their success.”
"Society too, has a responsibility to ensure that people don't want to come to football grounds to fight and throw things."

Yes,this game against Arsenal was the first match when the Executive (now Brian Clough) Stand was open
(minus a roof)-I got drenched in the next game (a League Cup replay against West Ham which went to
extra time!).
