Ruslan Malinovskyi

As a young lad I idolised Pearce and was free kick/corner taker for the team I played for. I could just hit it harder and further than most and I tried to use his technique. I scored a good few long ranges but never lived up my hero

I had no chance of replicating PVH style, most dont.

We must be similar ages - as a full back then I idolised Laws too... Loved a tackle!

Speaking of which my longest ranger was the result of a 50-50 just inside the opposition half... got so much on it the ball looped over the keepers head and in. I was crap at free kicks, corners slightly less so.

Im 44 mate, think my first game was in 84/85 but I still dont remember who it was against which really fucks me off. Back then my grandad would take me to reserve games as well on a Wednesday night.

Snap on the ages! Can't remember my first game either - my old man took me from very young, reserves first and then the first team. I remember liking Ian Bowyer, though the first game I can remember an event and get a date from was the Metgod rocket, which seems apt for this chat/thread!

YES!!! I think that too, against West Ham, crisp night, Phil Parks in goal with no gloves. I often wonder if this was my first game but Im certain it wasnt. Must have been 85/86 season that?

I do also recall the first time I ever saw the orange ball out in snow, convinced it was against Blackburn.......So exciting

Always exciting as a kid! I remember trying to impress my old man by telling him Jim Maximally looked a decent player, I think when he first came in 84, but it could have been a reserve game. My old man reckons I saw Robertson in his tail end, but I don't remember... Shilton too. Time-wise it works though. What a time to grow up to be a red - I know others had it slightly better, but to me it was pure magic.

Here's a good one - had a school trip to east Midlands airport in junior school. What I consider to be the classic forest line up turned up on their way back from somewhere. Clough, Parker, Hodge, Pearce, Walker, Webb etc... All hanging out their arses! Autographs aplenty! Just incredible. It was like Christmas!

Van Hoojdonk was a good player, great player is stretching it

Fantastic dead ball player

Didn't really rip it up in a top league although I'll concede he was effective for Holland

Obviously a colossal wanker & no Forest fan should describe him with terms of endearment

 

[valspoodle]

Is Ruslan good at free kicks?

 

[Huxley]

Is Ruslan good at free kicks?

Oh yes.

Set piece specialist. .really hope we get this guy he looks awesome.

 

[Strummer]

But…can he kick it?

 

[valspoodle]

Oh yes.

Thanks, I thought he might be, but couldn't be bothered to go back to the start of PVH chat.

Things are coming along nicely.

It's worth going back a few pages and looking at his show reel. Likes a shot from distance and knows where the net is.

I can 100% remember seeing Robbo, must have been right at the end of his career mind

I get a semi on every time this thread is bumped.

Please stop chatting shit. That's for the MGW thread.

Well played young sir.

I didnt agree with his action at the time but in fairness he was right.

Seeing that team dismantled the way it was still hurts. The begining of the end.

Ironic that only now have we recovered.

Do gyros always have chips in?

I’ve shit myself

Doesn't justify going on strike, maybe if he hadn't we may have won an extra 10 points during that period

Good job the likes of Crossley & Stone didn't chuck their toys out the pram Scargill style & go on strike

He's a prick & he's about as welcome in Nottingham as Anderlecht, John Aldridge or Fawaz

I never said it justified it, simply that his viewpoint was entirely correct in retrospect.

Was Irving Scholer imvolved then? What an utter fuckwit that man was.

Yes he was - I was at his (Van Hooijdonk's) signing and remember speaking to both Pearce and Harry Basset (Basset had arrived to "help" Pearce who was then caretaker manager. Off the record Basset told me he'd been brought in to take over and had been convinced to come by the new consortium that'd taken over that included Wray (who he said was the money man and willing to pay the big bucks) but he didn't like Scholar... how right he was...

Interesting. Jesus, what mess the club was in back then

Get this lad and a pacey LWB in and we'll be cooking.
