'Magician' - The former Nottingham Forest players Reds fans dream of seeing back at the club

Nottingham Forest have been blessed with many great players down the years.

Some have gone on to become clubs legends or cult heroes, while others merely enjoyed an influential season or two before departing for a new venture.

Reds legend John Robertson was voted by fans as the club’s greatest ever player, after helping Forest lift the European Cup, not once but twice.

We asked Forest fans to name the former Red that they would like to bring back to the City Ground, and we had suggestions from players currently in the game, to retired club icons.

Here is a selection of what they had to say.

Glen Page: “From the ones still playing it has to be Antonio or Britt.”

Adrian Nicholas: “John Robertson, magician.”

Dean Bird: “Stan best player to wear a Forest shirt.”

Richard Leonard: “Either Stan the man, Antonio, Burke.”

Rob Faux: “Collymore, Reid, Clough.”

Derek Bell: “Ian Storey Moore.”

Chris Mortimore: “Des Walker.”
