Was it Kare who scored four against Leicester in the cup? That must have been a considerable chunk of his goals for us.


I thought it was Leicester but I dont remember 4 of them...you might be right. Either way we only bought him because Norway were doing well at the time and teams were snapping them up. Swindon had Fjortoft.

I wish him well. The first few months of his reign were some of my my favourite times as a City fan.

It went all down hill after that but he was working with his hands tied behind his back and gave a lot of academy players the chance denied to them under Keegan. The football was awful but better teams than that side have been relegated. We would be in Leeds position now if we had gone down that season. Saying that, the angriest I have ever been after a City game was the Blackburn FA cup loss. Beyond miserable.

Would I want him back? No chance but he is a likeable honest bloke who I wish well.

Just looked it up and it was a 4-1 win with Ingebrigsten getting three. Those were his only goals for City.

Yeah it was. It was a cracker. I couldn't tell you about the other two. He was our Wayne Bridge of that era...spent the majority of his contract on loan with us paying the wages.

Love the bloke. Couldn't believe we got Psycho when we did, even though he was on his last legs. He then went to keep us up even though I was expecting more.

What's not to like. Good luck to the bloke.

Beefy I like Pearce too. Most of us on here probably do. I like the fact he made the very best of the ability he had, and made a good career in the game. I like the fact he seems a salt of the earth kind of bloke..I like the fact he likes the stranglers cos i do too but the fact is he is at best a lower level first team coach/assistant manager...if he gets forest promoted next season ill eat a pair of socks.

I remember the game well as they changed the time and date so much I drove 200 miles to get there on the wrong day. Had to get a room in the Peak District. It was also the only P/L game that's ever kicked off in the morning (11.45 I seem to remember).

The one from the half way line was actually Alan Kernaghan.

I'm laughing mate. Nobody said he would do anything other than be named as a manager but in the big scheme of things, he's part of our history, of which I quite like.

Wouldn't change it for the world.

In agreement here as well. He did reasonably with the hand he was dealt here. Wore his heart on his sleeve which I happen to admire. As previously said, Nottingham has had a lift with his return and is buzzing and I shall be keeping a keen eye on his performance. Love to see Forest promoted. A chance to see Prem football. Not sure whether Beanie will be his sidekick though!

One thing for sure if you sat through Pearcey's last season you can call yourself a fan. I wouldn't go so far as to say he kept us up, the ball in the air strategy was nonsense, Everton with out Cahill. But he didn't take us down, which is not quite the same thing.That was a long 300 miles back home after watching City v Smoggies at home and the rest.

Psycho at the time was a pleasing appointment. He had the passion, grit and aggression that KK lacked towards the end of his management. It soon became apparant though that that passion, grit and aggression counted for nothing. It actually became annoying. Less time pacing up and down the touchline, more time being tactically astute. But he kept us up when Wardle had had enough and was refusing to bankroll the club anymore and for that we should be grateful. I dont think he will cut it at Forest but I hope I am wrong.

Creaney's was against Charlton City won 2-1 with Uve scoring the other iirc.

I know it's not a competition but I called him from Bangkok that night. I was fucking furious after that game. I called my mum first, but she didn't really care.

11:15 kick off, was weird being in the ground at a weekend for a league game and the shutters were down on the bars.
