Interview: Mark Patterson on Roman Nottinghamshire

Mark Patterson’s book Roman Nottinghamshire is the first step towards reclaiming our Roman heritage…
Interview: Mark Crossley
Fri 12 Aug 2011Mark Crossley - known as ‘Norm’ during his thirteen years as Forest’s goalkeeper, due to a resemblance to Norman Whiteside - started his career being hated by his own supporters.

Interview: John Robertson
Wed 15 Dec 2010John Robertson was your archetypal terrace favourite for over a decade at Forest. In part it was because he obviously liked his pies, pints and fags, but mainly for providing the cross that Trevor Francis got on the end of in 1979, the goal that beat Hamburg in 1980, and all those photos of kids holding up the European Cup in Nottingham pubs thirty years ago.
