I'm not 100% sure
I recognise him and he's definitely an ex player but his name escapes me
Could be Don Hutchison?

Yeah, try to find a striker in Jan for around 30m who’d replicate half of this. You can’t, not for the money we were willing to spend.

True, but Nigel scored all three of his goals in 4 minutes !

To do what he's doing scoring so many goals while leading the line alone is incredible.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever played as a striker up front alone but it's a tough, tough job. At any level. Let alone the Premier League.
His movement and intelligence is underrated in my opinion. He defends from the front shutting down spaces for the team, which has a knock on effect going backwards. Then he gets the rewards of that going forward. What a signing he's been.

you look at the top 5 pl scorer so far - salah, haaland, isak, mbeumo etc - all explosive fast paced strikers, wood is neither fast nor explosive. Wood is a no frills old school journeyman striker, nuno came on board at forest and refurbished him like new to have his best ever goal returns in his career at the ripe old age of 33, wood is amazing. Credit to nuno as well, both howe and cooper couldn't get anything from wood.

Just shows that if you get service to an intelligent player at the right time he will be able to deliver. Elanga especially seems to be able to deliver what Wood needs to score from. MGW and CHO have plenty of assists too. If they give him the chance in the area it's pretty much always in

Pele might have been able to help in this area.
And I don't mean as a striker.

Got the better half this card for Valentines Day. She was suitably impressed.

He did score a hattrick last time out, so best of luck with that.

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well.
I come to Nottingham on Tuesday to write an article about Chris Wood and Nottingham's oustanding season for a french magazine. It's a shame it's not on a weekend or a gameday because I would love to speak with some fans and take pictures with Forest colors to get an sense of the atmosphere there. So I wanted to ask you if there are any specific places or events on the weekdays where Forest fans gather? A friend living there told me about The Boot Room and Trent Navigation. Of course I will pass by the megastore as well. If some of you are free and want to get a drink together on tuesday afeternoon-evening, that would be a pleasure!
Cheers

I think we have to have a serious conversation that Chris should be replacing Collymore in our Best Ever XI, for the 160th Anniversary.
Record Premierleague Goalscorer for us, only 4 off Collymore's 22 league goals in the 94/95 season with 13 to play.
He's not really getting many chances but he's clinical.

As much as I love Wood, Collymore's all round game was just more exciting.
The team which he fired us to 3rd with had a fair few players who weren't really up to the Prem (Lyttle, Philips etc.) and I think that team finishing 3rd straight out of the "Championship" was a much bigger step up than us finishing 3rd with what we have available this year. And a huge part of that was built on Collymore's deadly threat. The opposition would shit themselves the second he had the ball at his feet from anywhere inside their half, and rightly so.
I wouldn't say Wood was a million miles away, but Collymore was a genuine super-superstar. I'd liken Chris Wood to Brian May and Collymore to Eddie Van Halen. Both are top class and get the job done wonderfully, but the latter just has that something next-level special in them. Wood is fantastic, but Collymore was mesmeric.

I agree about Stan the Man!
You expected something electrifying every time he got the ball.
And were seldom disappointed.
Wood is a completely different sort of a striker - top drawer in his own style, but Stan had the whole crowd on its feet from when he picked up the ball, often in his own half, and he raced through the opposition an crashed home a rocket shot.
We'll not see his like again.

Aye, it was incredible.
There are a lot of Collymore's fantastic goals which were recorded, but I remember him having plenty of almost-goals which were equally as exciting.
I'm heading towards 50 soon though, and if I'm ever able to reverse the diseases in my now spastic body, then I don't see any reason why I can't keep that process going and become a Prem footballer by the time I hit 55-60, so watch this space Cap!
