Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest (3rd Sep. 1977)

[@gammonsandwich1756]

It's nice to see football kits not festooned in adverts and sponsorships with just the club's badges on the chest. Something purer about it.

[@mayhem7427]

Brian Moore is a legend. Picking out the talking points and putting them to bed without pundit arguments malice or prejudice. Gary Lineker eat your heart out!

[@rajnirvan3336]

Gary Lineker not a patch on Brian Moore or Jimmy Hill etc

[@raymondhenderson1436]

Yes Brian is immortal .No comparison .Lineker is cluless .As far as a Show Presenter or Broadcaster is concerned.

[@starchild6347]

Was at this game as a 9 year old…. Fantastic memories. ❤

[@aaronharbinson9650]

Pat Jennings, what a fantastic goalkeeper👍👍

[@tomduggan51]

dan, Thanks very much for excellent match coverage and analysis with Brian Moore. Good result for Arsenal against a Forest side in top form at that time.

[@beatles141]

i was at the match , only 12 at the time. Malcolm Macdonald was my hero then.

[@DaveSpagnol]

Richie Powling, that brings back memories. He had been a young reserve defender but got a few games in midfield, where he played brilliantly! Sadly he got injured and didn't really recover. As for "Kenny Burns looking innocent", never in a million years!

[@armchairdetective520]

Burns: what me ref?

[@jj9749]

POWLING was my favourite panini sticker

[@amazed66]

Viv Anderson and Tony Woodcock, two Forest players who later went on to play for Arsenal.

[@peterhill7849]

Willie Young made the opposite journey

[@jasmineblack9778]

When i was 12 years Kenny Burns was kind enough to let me take his photo (he was at Derby Co at the time).He seemed like a really nice fella off the pitch anyway lol

[@rajnirvan3336]

Sponsor free shirts look so clean and tidy

[@rajnirvan3336]

I was only 2 months old that year little did I know I was going to be an Arsenal supporter years later

[@bekindunlimited]

Pat Jennings was the best goalkeeper in the world

[@Matthew-zj3hk]

I've never seen a better keeper

[@VeinsInHand]

Forest won the league that same season. Champions of England in their first season back up

[@peterpeterxxo]

that forest goalie was dire, no wonder they signed shilton.

[@zXCaptainCameronXz]

Burns could play but he wasn't the cleanest of players was he? Brave bloke head-butting some kid from behind.

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

His punishment came later, being stuck in a doomed Leeds side managed by Allan Clarke. Desperate times at Elland Road, resorting to that arsehole.

[@cerneuffington2656]

Who are the ladies in matching colours sitting behind Clough and Taylor?

[@SuperForest78]

One of only 3 defeats on the way to be champs-I think the other two were away at Leeds and Chelsea,if my fading memory serves-John Middleton was no Shilts and was replaced by him shortly after this

[@frankmachin5438]

You can see why Clough and Taylor went into the market for a ‘keeper...

[@MrJeepsters]

@SuperForest78 C'est ce que je pensais, je me souviens d'un article dans un magazine de foot, et, sur les photo, ce n'était pas shilton le gardien de but.

[@goonerali3547]

Good old Arsenal.

[@SuperForest78]

[@mayhem7427]

Fair play.....Forest were the real deal back then, challenged and matched the Liverpool domination with a really good side.

[@joenichols725]

Early days of VAR

[@Mackers691]

Well Brian Clough and Peter Taylor clearly disagreed with you. Not to mention several Scottish managers. And the football writers of that season voted Burns player of the year.

[@jj9749]

RICHIE POWLING!!

[@BigVinny64]

Sorry lost 3 games 😟

[@dmlewey]

Kenny Burns. LOL.

[@bassatnight]

Kenny Burns, a class act..... Not.

[@cozener845]

Kenny Burns and Willie Young, two of the worst Scottish defenders in the 70s.

[@melprice8961]

Burns was a class act under Clough, although he was a headcase at times, won footballer of the year this season

[@richardtaylor8165]

Agree with the others - Kenny Burns was indeed a good player, could play up front or in defence. Willie Young played for Spurs then Arsenal after leaving Aberdeen so couldn't have been that bad!!

[@superconnie5003]

Nelson was rubbish as usual
