The former Coventryplayer was playing quitebrilliantly until injury rocked himtowards the end of lastseason, although he didrecover sufficientlywell to takepart in the EuropeanChampionships in Sweden.

    THE.MANAGEMENTB ian Clough has been in charge ofNottingham Forest for well over 17 yearsand during his reign at The City groundhe hasseen every major trophy except the F.A.Cup rest in the club'sBoardroom.That star prize seems to be an elusive object for'Cloughie' (as everyone seems to call him) foreven as a player he failed to reach the final ofEngland's (perhaps the world's) greatest knockoutcompetition. Born in Middlesbrough in March1935, Brian played centre-forward for GreatBroughton F.C. Middlesbrough and Sunderland, aswel l as England (2 full caps won and three atunder 23 level). Between 1955 and 1965 hescored almost 300 goals (in all games) including251 in the Football League (in only 274appearances). After being forced to retire through

    injury Brian took4 over as managerI of Hartlepool; hethen had anI excellent spell incharge of DerbyCounty, leadingthe Rams to th eI First Divisionchampionshipbefore having1 brief spells atBrighton andLeeds, joiningForest duringtheir Second

    DOWN THE YEARSTHIRTY YEARS AGOAugust 1982Oldham Athletic, as we mentioned in mid-week, took bothpoints after a 1-0 home win over ShrewsburyTown. Under4,000 saw the Second Divisiongame at BoundaryPark whenthe 'Shrews'defender Ross MacLaren netted an own goal forthe Latics.Forest,who includedViv Anderson and ColinTodd in defence,and Steve Hodgeand Ian Bowyer in midfield, took on WestHam United in a First Divisiongame at The City Ground and infront of a near 24,000 crowd. Brian Clough'smenwon by twogoals to one, Colin Walsh and John Robertson(penalty) heirscorers.TWENTY YEARS AGOAugust 1972In a Third Division ocal derby at Burnden Park, the Latics wentdown 2-1 to Bolton Wanderers before a 7,019 crowd. RonnieBlair scored our goal and the team was: Dowd; Wood, Whittle;McNeil. Hicks, Cranston; McVitie, Clements, Robins, Blair andMorrissey.Forest, playing in the Second Division, beat Oxford United2-1at home in front of just 9,591 spectators. Former PrestonstrikerGeorge Lyall and midfielder Martin O'Neill were their scorersand in the Forest side were goalkeeperJim Barron, Scottishinternationalsfull-backs Doug Fraser and Tommy Gemmill andforwards Duncan MacKenzieand Alan Buckley, the currentGrimsbyTown manager.THIRTY YEARS AGOAugust 1962The Laticstravelled to Tranmere for a Fourth Divisionmatchand they returned home with two points after winning 2-1.Bobby Johnstone and Jimmy Friuell scored the goals but theturnout was under 6,500. Johnny Bollands played a 'blinder' ingoal for the Laticswho also had to thank defenders AlanWilliams and Bill Marshall who both cleared goal-boundshotsoff the line in the second-half.Forest travelled to nearby Leicester City for the East Midlandsderby and despite a smashing goal from Welsh internationalTrevor Hockey they lost the First Divisionmatch2-1 to the'Filberts'beforea 22,513 crowd.

    INSIGHT ."I PRACTICE MYNck Henry gets teasedabout his Latics SHOOTING IN TRAINING,goalscoring record, BUT NO MORE THANeven though last season hefinished joint third leadingmarksman. , ; - -. , . . ':- - - L .I t is true th e hari&o;kihg 'midfield player struggled tofind th e ne t early in his playingdays at Boundary Park.But since breaking his duck,wi th that memorable screamerin the Littlewoods Cup victoryover Arsenal nearly three yearsago, Nick's goalscoring recordhas improved dramatically.And it is for spectacular long-range efforts which Nick, stillonly 23, has becomerenowned.Nick has continued th e trendthis season wi th tw oremarkable strikes alreadywhich were nearer th e half-way line than edge of thepenalty area.I t is hard to believe that in theWembley season Nick's goalagainst.Arsenal was the solesuccess in 58 league and cupgames.The ratio improved to fourgoals in 49 appearances in th eSecond Division championshipwinning side while last seasonthere was another best-everratio of seven in 48 firstdivision games.This season has got off to aperfect start for Nick, w homade his first-team debut inSeptember 1987 and w ho nextmonth ought to complete 150League appearances for Latics.In Saturday's FA PremierLeague opener at Chelsea Nickhad the distinction of scoringfrom the centre circle aftergoalkeeper Dave Beasantmiscued a clearance.It was a replica of th e goal hescored in th e pre-seasonfriendly at Tranmere andproved to his team-mates itwas not th e fluke they inferredit was.

    OTHER LADS DO."Nick, however, says the t w ospecials we re quite differentas he exp lained: "The one atTranmere was more of a volleywh ile on Saturday I had moretime to place the shot."W hen I saw Dave Beasantcome out I hoped he wou ldmiskick the ball and he did. M ymain objective was to get theshot on target because I knewhe could no t get back."Nick added: " I don't m ind howI score, whether it be from fiveor 45 yards as long as they goin - bu t I wouldn't mind a fe wmore tap-ins."The lads still take the m ickeyabout my scoring, but m yrecord is not that bad now .And the m ore I score the morecon fident I feel in front o f goal."I practice my shooting intraining, but no more thanother lads do ."Nick has not set himse lf anygoals for the season as hewen t on: "I don't want to putmyse lf under any pressure bysetting targets. I just want togo out and play, and hopefullyscore."It w as certainly nice to get agoal on the opening day of theseason to go w ith the tw o inpre-season wh ich do notcount."The n ew rule preventinggoalkeepers handling backpasses has helped m e. I thinkit will result in a lot mo re goalsbeing scored as a result ofmistakes."Nick is looking forward t o the

    is therefore a vote ofconfidence in this department.Nick added: "That is up to th egaffer, but I think Mike andmyself play well together andw e have a good balance in th ecentre of midfield."W e are a lo t tighter at th eback with the extra man. SteveRedmond and Neil Pointon areplayers of considerable FirstDivision experience and theyare bound to make th edefence stronger."And up front Ian Olney is alsoa proven First Divisiongoalscorer."Nick believes Latics will dobetter than last season havingbenefitted from the yearalready spent in the to p flight.He said: " I enjoyed lastseason, and it was a lot betterthan playing in the SecondDivision. The pace was a lotfaster and you get punishedmore for m istakes w e found."You are always learning infootball and last year stood usin good stead."Hopefully w e w ill do evenbetter than last year and itwo uld be nice to have adecent cup run as well."I personally think w e have thestrongest squad since I havebeen here and we s till have IanOlney and Andy Ritchie tofigure in first-team plans."And as for the destiny of thechampionship, Nick said: "Ifancy M anchester Un ited afterthey came so close last year.ne w cam paign after last "I w ould like Liverpool (theseason m issing only one of team he supported as a boy) toLatics' 49 league and cup win, but don't think it will beappearances. their year.
