1st Tyler however!
Who remembers Carl Tiler? Thought not. Carl was something of a great white hope, when moving from Barnsley to Forest, but then got injured. John Gorman got him in on loan, as he was trying to get back up to playing again... we'd been leaking goals.
Something of a last roll of the dice for dear old JG, a derby at Trashton, and we were trash. On paper a decent looking outfit, but JG had brought back Ross MacLaren, who was clearly not fit.
Poor old Ross, I'd watched them training in the week, which consisted of runs up and down the hill in the Lawns, he could hardly move. Retired a week later.
Incidentally always thought doing runs around the Lawns was good, as provides a lovely view of the CG, and how it commands the centre of Town, a good way of players understanding its importance.
I digress, after about 20 mins at Thrashton, Killer Kilcline went off with what looked like a desire to spend more time on his narrowboat, Robbo went alongside Tiler, to form an ex Barnsley pair of stoppers... Mick Mccarthy it wasn't.
We shipped 3. The Chief having a field day abetted by Junior Bent, who was an annoying little shit whenever we came against Shitty.
JG was sacked, and Carl Tiler played te next game and then returned to Forest. He carried on for some years, as someone who looked potentially excellent but kept getting injured. Killer played 2 more before he was gone.
