Was Peter Grummitt really no good? I always thought of him as a decent keeper, but I was too young to be a reliable judge. He did play in the 1st division for Forest and us, but only went on to Brighton afterwards. I remember he came 2nd once in Save of the Season on Sportsnight With Coleman - a reaction save from a close range header at home to QPR. It's good to see Johnny Sissons there - he was great in his short time with us. I remember the roar from the cantilever as he shot down the left wing. Peter Rodrigues was excellent too. Jimmy Mullen was capable enough, and we all loved Prendo. That just leaves Steve Downes; I don't like to criticise people on the internet, but he was never one of our greats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion But Torry Owl rated him I think so best not use my opinion as an accurate Barometer ? All I remember is letting ball go between his legs many many times .. Thankfully for him Match of the day didn't have an award for that He would have cleaned the board ... One man's muck is another man's gold though Alfie .... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I remember Grummitt flying across the goal a few times to tip the ball around the post. I may have dreamt it... Didn't dream an away trip to Blackpool though c.1971, when Sissons belted the ball towards goal from about 30 yards and smacked defender Peter Suddaby right in the kisser, putting him on his back. Great moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwood Owl1 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I've got a book coming out next spring about the dark years of 1973-76. It's already listed on Amazon :) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Our-Lowest-Ebb-2020-Wednesdays/dp/1908847174/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=john+dyson+our+lowest+ebb&qid=1572216905&sr=8-1 To whet everyone's appetite for what will inevitably be a Harry Potter style best seller, here are a selection of images of the period. (The bus one's slightly earlier - I just liked it!) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lays into the players by name (Fox and Shaw) and indirectly - accusing others of not giving 100% and others of stinking of booze. Incredible really. Not sure if the Star would run a 2019 equivalent?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
