Peter Shilton

I was at that game but I'd forgotten that we missed the penalty.
I also remember a very fat Neville Southall being sent off at Boothferry Park playing for Tranmere? Or have I just made that up?
And another fact I've just remembered. Peter Shilton let a shed load of goals in at Boothferry Park. Remember us beating Leicester in the League Cup 3-2, when Roger de Vries scored his only City goal and wasn't he in goal when we beat Leicester 5-2 under Brian Horton?
Another game when he was in goal was for Forest in Bremners debut game. We won 1-0 of course but Jeff Hemmerman had at least three goals disallowed, all dodgy decisions.

I seem to recall we once scored a goal a few seconds after kick off against Budgie Burridge, he was your typical nutcase keeper. :emoticon-0138-think

I was at the game - Friday night I think - briefly put us top, or 2nd, or some place exciting anyway. Ended up 2-0.

Remember Burridge playing against around the same time, maybe a couple of years later, for Scarboro in the Autoglass.

Must have been in his mid 40s then - had a great game.

Shilton was in goal for Southampton when we played them in 84.

Burridge was a very good keeper, and a fruitcake. :emoticon-0138-think

Sorry Trumpton but Shilton was still at Stoke when Billy made his Tigers debut against Forest.

I remember Big Nev playing at BP for Torquay (99/00 mebbe) - he was certainly Parkinesque in stature and got plenty of, mostly, good natured ribbing at Bunkers end, he took it with a smile on his face and a ''who me?'' when he was regaled with ''you fat bastard'' etc. Don't recall him playing for Tranmere though.

Wasn’t he in goal when we beat Leicester 4-1 and 3-0 in Terry Neill’s first two seasons?

I've spent time with Shilts and one of my mates is very good friends with him. He's a genuinely nice bloke, not up himself at all. Think how many caps he would have had if Clemence hadn't been around, a remarkable career. To quote him for when asked what he thinks of Maradona: "Cheating ****". No love lost at all.
 
Shilton played for an amazing number of clubs.

I'll never forget Waggy's 2 goals against Gordon Banks in the losing effort against Stoke City in the FA Cup in 70/71. Even Pele couldn't score against him. :emoticon-0148-yes:

I think you are right, it was Torquay.

It was only 50 odd years ago CITYgirl, and I could have sworn, from memory it was Shilton, but one thing is correct, Shilton did let a shed load of goals in against City at Boothferry Park.
So was it Peter Grummit in goal for Forest that day? His name rings a bell? Whoever it was was a lucky fella.
