    Predictably class at this level. Paul Ifill looked like Luis Figo, and Lolley has a similar level of talent, I'd say. Fewer games means more likely to stay fit

    I have been to quite a lot of English football grounds (60some) and seen Forest and Notts play against all manner of teams home and away. I have no recollection of ever having seen Cambridge United play.

    11v11 tells me that Forest have played Cambridge once in their history, a 3-3 draw at home in the League Cup in 1998. It's listed as a Forest win, so I assume it went to penalties.

    Also a pre-season friendly at the Abbey just after SVC joined. i have it in my memory that he scored an absolute worldy (think the winner at Peterborough, but further out, nearer the touchline) but Forest lost.

    I went there thinking it was only a friendly. It was actually the Cambridge cup and yes. SVC',s goal was a worldy.

    I recall Forest won but will check

    7/8/93. Lost 3-2, Stan scored both, at least according to one Forest history book.

    I don't know (or don't remember) Paul Ifill but, in terms of pure talent, Lolley would easily have been a premier league player at his peak, he just lacked an edge of pace.

    Ifill was a Prem player at his peak, but he lost his edge with injuries.
    Some types of Prem players would lack the directness or robustness required.
    Steven Taylor, once of Newcastle, was the best player on the park in pretty much any position, even though he was clearly not the player he once was.

    Good enough for me. Definitely Cambridge Cup though

    Oli Hammond is in Oldham wondering if he even qualifies for this thread.

    One of my football friends was coached by him, when he was at Southwell. I say football friend. I bet he's been retired for ten years. Lovely chap. Both him and Colin.

    There's a video on YouTube called (something like) "Oliver Burke: Where did it all go Wrong for the Scottish Gareth Bale".

    I don't think anyone ever called him that did they? Anyway, I haven't seen it.

    Soz.

    There were those comparisons when he was playing for us. Mainly, I think on basis he was big athletic fast pale and celtic/pictish.

    I’ve read somewhere before that although he had a bit of raw ability he was extremely dim. If Forest were playing midweek he wouldn’t play as it would take him all week to get ready for the Saturday game. Once he was gone he wouldn’t have had this level of coaching/understanding so hasn’t made any impact anywhere since.

    But he’s a millionaire and has his instagram girlfriend so doubt he really cares.
