Not many Centre Forwards would want to tangle with our 2 centre halves back in the day. Sammy was one of my favourite players at the time. A good no nonsense solid defender.

27 years ago today, @StanCollymore and Stuart Pearce were on target in a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford. What a brilliant #NFFC side that was ??


What a f*****g day out this was. Remember it clear as day

Great to see Bert Bowery mentioned. Suppose that must be his son playing now at Mansfield. He was a powerful player who upset many a centre half back then.

Nearly as bizarre as when all the press were briefed that Karanka was being sacked that evening after …errr….beating Leeds 4-2 on boxing day 2019.
