Another sad story of a footballing great.

Spent a fortnight in Malcom’s company in 2016, we talked about everything but football, came across as a nice fella and is obviously fond of the north east, been an Auf Wiedersehen Pet fan I couldn’t resist saying “Super Mac scored twice and we smashed this little chef up on the A1“ in my best Oz voice, those that know

Half time scores were the best back when they used this letters system .

It also meant people weren’t staring at their iPhone throughout the game for updates
elsewhere,Bonfy.

I’ve got memories of standing in Roker Park not watching the game but staring at the Roker End scoreboard as I knew Forest were letter “D” …..great times

Yes-but you only got the half-time scores then,Bonfy.
I remember standing on the East Stand terrace in the early to mid 70s with my Dad and there
was always a guy near us with a transistor radio glued to his ear.

Thermos flask, transistor radio and a cracket for the young un to stand on should be the only things allowed in the ground.

I had to look the word ‘cracket’ up as I wasn’t familiar with it-although my Dad’s family were all
coal miners in County Durham.
The wooden stool that my Dad made me was great for viewing as a kid though.

I remember visiting my grandparents in the mid 60s in the north-east,Bonfy-it took me at least 3 days to understand what they were saying.

It can sometimes feel overwhelming nowadays with the amount of options we have available to us for everything. It was also the magic you felt of simpler times when you weren't at the match.

I used to listen on the radio to Forest games back in the 90s, sometimes bringing a portable battery radio in the bath with me.

Then checking the score updates on teletext. My main memory was the score would update and Alan Shearer or Ian Wright's name would come up as the scorer. It was always those two!

I was thinking last night when I was a boy and England were playing midweek, Sportsnight 9-25pm BBC One was magic or Midweek Sports Special on ITV 10-30pm, you could easily avoid the scores, the same when Forest were playing.
