I wanted to get him on the back of my top when I was about 12-13 but couldn't cos he was only a loan player.
So I got Prutton!
Good old Olsen though, i loved him.

Am I right in thinking that when Psycho returned with Man City and we conceded that "gaff" goal, that our beloved Psycho had to mark Ben Olsen.
Now if I remember rightly, Psycho poleaxed Olsen, sent him tumbling to ground in agony. We all cheered that Psycho battered a player like old. Psycho played on and Ben Olsen went off with a suspected broken leg.
Its the only time I remeber the Forest fans cheering when one their own players got destroyed.
I did like him though.

That season, I think CBW scored from every free kick he took.
He was brilliant as a sweeper.

Jerkan was the greatest sweeper ever made

OOOOH Ben Olsen!
My favourite Ben Olsen moment was when he sprinted after a ball and just kept it in down in front of the BC stand, attacking the Trent End, but in the process was forced to hurdle the wall. He then jumped back over the wall, got to the ball first, beat the left back, and got the cross in. Glorious.
I also believe he got injured jumping for a header in a 3-1 win against ???Sheff Utd??? in which Keith Foy scored an absolute blinder of a volley. Can we have a Keith Foy thread, as hes the best ever Forest left-back under 3ft tall?

When I was a younger Chris Bart-Williams as my favourite player 8)
I was well gutted when he left
I was also gutted when we didn't sign Ben Olsen, he was quality. I was too young to remember properly but why did we not sign him? :dry:

James Henry was another excellent right winger loan signing. We loaned him for ten minutes.

I liked Olsen, but the one I wish we had kept hold of was Hugo Porfirio !

yes he was awesome that year!
he moved over to Apoel nicosia here in cyprus a couple of years ago, i went down to watch with a fellow forest supporter when he was playing in pafos and he was crap!!! we couldnt believe it was the same bloke! He wasnt here long but not sure where he moved on to, think i heard malta or somewhere.
Now weve got Agogo playing for limassol so will go and have a look at him soon.

Ben Olsen advertises a sport shop in the U.S. I rememeber watching Fox Soccer Channel last season where he was on it during the ad break, I said to my American mate that he used to play for Forest to which he replied "He's a bit of a cult hero here" God knows if he was winding me up or being serious! ???
