Love how in virtually every (it is every) interview the players express how much they loved being at Forest and their love for the City. Being at Forest seems to always be what they see as a real high point, no matter the situation they found themselves in. Respect Paul.

[@rustywarrior5288]

He was such a good player for us that I always think he was with the club longer than he actually was. They were great days. These are great interviews and the one thing that has struck me from all the players so far is how much love and respect for the club that they _still_ have. Once in the family they are never out of it.

[@SportChippers]

Yeah, good point Rusty!

[@andyman6347]

Great honest interview. Enjoying the content. Could we have Eric Lichaj soon? He worked under 7/8 managers at Forest in 5 years. It would be interesting to hear from him.

I got to say after watching these videos it shows how much respect the Forest players have for you, but also how much your misse

Too kind Chris, thank you… if you wanted to watch the interviews without KZbin ads, the full version, at least a week early, I’ll just leave this here 😉 kzbin.info/door/silRwvO-yAAbMgcCuXmvowjoin

[@pearcegreatesteverleftback03]

He was a great player for us, key to our successive player off finishes

[@peartreeproductions77]

Nice one chippers he was a great winger for us , shame it wasn't as long lived as it should have been

[@SportChippers]

Agreed, thanks Mike!

[@psychokeef]

Another great interview chippers Paul Anderson was one of my favourite players from that great team under Billy. Can’t wait for the next one 👏👍

Cheers Keith…. Lee Camp later this week!

My lad's favourite player when he first started watching Forest, a shame we never got to meet him but comes across really well in this video at what, for various reasons, seems a really crazy time at Forest and one we're unlikely ever to hear the complete story about.

[@brynetches3388]

One of the most genuine and down to earth footballers I've ever met, I played table tennis with him at the training ground. A very underrated player as well

[@SportChippers]

Yeah, one of the nicest footballers I ever had the pleasure of dealing with…

[@johnathansia]

I would LOVE a chance to play table tennis with any of the NFFC players, past or present!

[@tysonsflag]

He's such an easy going bloke, i could listen to him all day. Great player on his day too.

[@SportChippers]

Yeah… lovely guy, Andrew…

[@andrewhyde4708]

I’ve heard Paul interviewed a couple of times since his playing career ended and he is admirably open about some of the decisions he made and the struggles he’s faced. For example, his comments at the end about not fitting into a boisterous football environment as a younger, quieter lad. A lot of people can relate to that unease at a younger age, but it’s not something a footballer would typically admit to. Not that it came across in his performances: he was a really good player, who would have performed at a higher level if not for injuries. I remember his relationship with Gunter on the right and his hard work and willingness to cover, as well as his attacking pace.

[@SportChippers]

Completely agree Andrew…. he’s always been a quiet, but intelligent guy… very easy to chat to.

[@chrisshiel9085]

Another fab interview Chippers :) Come on.... you've just got to get Billy on here :D

[@SportChippers]

Hmm… not sure about that!

[@chrisshiel9085]

@@SportChippers He just seems to have just vanished since leaving Forest - I'd be intrigued to hear his side of events etc

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Another enjoyable interview Robin. Paul at his best was a great player to watch. Always remember him tearing Leicester to pieces in the 5-1 win. Seems a genuinely humble chap too.

[@SportChippers]

Too right… lovely guy is Ando. Thanks Anthony - don’t forget to subscribe for free to see more and more videos pop up on your feed Anthony. Cheers!

[@kc8923]

Not signing Shorey, or an adequate replacement, along with the on off possible signings of Whittingham and Pratley probably stopped us getting promoted that first play off year.

[@grahammalkinson1439]

There never seems to be any negatives from a player as regards Billy, if only he could have toned his off field antics down a bit, could have been great

[@SportChippers]

Why are today's players always injured unlike in the 70's is it because there made of glass
