Ok reds, nostalgia friday night. (As its quiet) who is your all time favourite player and why. Now to make it fare. It cannot be a forest player. Mine is george best the belfast boy. Hurricane higgins of football. Could do anything with a ball. Took knocks for fun. Full of confidence. Loved him.

Could i ask who yours was ED?

{Ed001's Note - the Brazilian Ronaldo, he was just incredible. Though I do have a soft spot for Best, he was before my time as a player, so never saw him play live. When my aunt and uncle started an after dinner speaking agency, Best was one of the first clients. The problem was making sure he got to gigs at all, let alone on time. He needed babysitting, nice guy but he was so shy he could simply not do the gigs without a bevvy, so it was a case of trying to keep his drinking within 'reasonable' limits. I liked Gary Speed as well, but again that was because he was such a nice guy, apart from his tendency to try and give me Everton tickets and shirts all the time!}

George Best is a good shout, Alan Ball i think was under rated.

Gary speed RIP, class act ED. GF alan ball (brilliant but why him in particular mate?

{Ed001's Note - Speedo was a genuinely nice guy and his parents are too. Such a nice family, it really is hard to believe he is gone.}

He epitomised what a footballer should be, he had skill, doged, energy, read the game well and played on instinct Bowiered.

Was at the Besties Testimonial amazing.
Little lady in my old job asked "Who was there then? "
I replied "Sammy Davis Junior was on the wing, Frank Sinatra in goals, Rod Stewart Midfield, Bob Monkhouse at Centre Back"
She was gobsmacked!
😏😏😏.
Pat Jennings, Liam Brady, Roy Aitken, Emlyn Hughes RIP, to name a few. Bestie scored an unbelievable chip over the keeper.

Bowie bobby charlton, great player strong with both feet, great shot on him, won everything in the game, just all round quality, for me England’s greatest ever player, although I agree George was great, and bally was world class in my opinion both great choices,

Stevie f, and i swear you just brought a tear mate. Just wished him and jack (another class player) had made up. I know they did a little. True masters that could teach any of our lot mate. Legends.

Stevie f bobby Moore was our best ever player. Didn't just play. Lead the troops to winners. Could be country or club. But as discussed earlier mate. Sh#t on by all. that's football.


15.) 23 Apr 2021
23 Apr 2021 19:41:23
Yes some great players have bee6 selected, my choice is Bobby Moore a wall on the pitch.

Alan Shearer for me, brave as a lion .

If we can choose an overseas player I’d go with Francesco Totti .


18.) 23 Apr 2021
23 Apr 2021 20:12:39
If I were to choose a foreign player it would be franz beckenbauer pure class,

Shame about the mental state but one of the best English players has to be Gascoigne.

2star love shearer but only because he was a goal scorer mate. What a total prick though can't stand him as a person.

My overseas midfielder lothar matthaus, made my sons watch him to learn everything about how to play the game. They still remind me 😂😂 just a steady eddy with a great eye. Typical german. Like there cars leave us behind. Sorry reds.

2star roberto baggio probably best italian midfielder. He could leave a defence quicker than the mafia would leave a horses head for selling duty free pasta.

I remember forest playing sheff utd and tony currie putting two of our players on their arses without actually touching the ball, a real classs act who would have walked into the brazilian team.

When I was a young kid, Keegan was everywhere on tv. Aftershave-"splash it on all over", falling off his bike on superstars as well as scoring goals for England. A bit like a older Beckham but with a shaggy perm. So, I was influenced by him especially as Forest had been relegated a few years earlier. Maturity changed all that and I just "loved it" when we stuffed it up him in Madrid.

Just his football ability for me mate, I don’t really watch pundits they’re all annoying and lineker put me off forever. I like players who’ve got courage and spirit, shearer had it in spades and could mix it like a Sunday league player when he needed too!

Superstars, that is going back, Brian Jacks was brilliant.

Mv red, thanks for reminding me of superstars first of all mate 😃 as for keegan . Brilliant. Always remember him and bremner hahahaha. Now there's a bloke who played attacking football as a manager. Just didn't have fergie time. Became weak in the head. Opposite to clough.

Thanks reds for the nostalgia. Keep them coming. You know our ignorance towards life in general always brings up arguments. This site unites us as a team. Why because we care. My daughter has turned up with her boyfriend now. But would love to leave you with one hero of mine. Jason lee. Ok ok i'm cheating. But the sh#t that kid put up with and just got on with it i will never forget. We all need a kick up the ass to remind us of lifes ups and downs. Ty again. Stay calm but most of all stay safe 👌.
