on this day 8th April in 1967, Forest beat Everton 3-2 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals thanks to an Ian Storey-Moore hat-trick. It was a bit before my time but some who were there have told me that it was one of if not the best game ever seen at the City Ground.

And they are good judges Sniff.
Still see him regularly - looking fit & well - in the village.

I was also in the East Stand that day, 54 years ago and I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

On this day 5/6 in 1985 Nottingham Forest signed Neil Webb for 250k from Porstmouth.
Great player and it was a pleasure to have seen him play.

On this day in 1st July 1999 David Platt was appointed Nottingham Forest manager.
I honestly don't think he was that bad. Just look at some of the rubbish we have had since.
Also on the same day in 2014 seven years ago today, Stuart Pearce was appointed as Nottingham Forest manager.

Platt wasnt that bad, we have had far worse since, think it was the expectation placed on him and he spent a ton of money too. Most of his signings were decent players (the odd exception ahem) but they didnt gel at all and we needed the loans of Ian Wright, who was brilliant and a young John Terry to stop us hurtling towards the bottom.
What I find unfathomable to this day is why the owners back then backed Platt so heavily in the old 1st div. but had decimated Harry Bassets squad and given him £2.50 to spend when we were in the Premier.
