    That Garry Parker played more games for Leicester than he did for Forest.

    Transfermarkt disagrees: www.transfermarkt.co.uk/garry-parker/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/107796

    Wikipedia is pretty unreliable for appearance data.

    Thecityground.com is good for Forest stats and has him on 151: www.thecityground.com/appearances.php

    Ligue 1 in France has a rule called the joker that allows each club to make one transfer a season outside the transfer window. Player has to be already registered as a player with the FFF so must be signed from another French club. That seems like quite a fun rule as it allows a team to find cover for a major injury.

    That was probably little comfort to Lt. Pete Mitchell.

    Who knows what it could have done with ejector/election/erection?

    You should think yourself lucky. Check your draft emails before send, people.
