VOTE: Who is Nottingham Forest's greatest ever right-back?

Last month, NottinghamshireLive readers voted John Robertson as Nottingham Forest greatest ever player.

The Scottish midfielder, who was once described as "a little fat guy" by  Brian Clough , topped the poll with a staggering 42% of the votes.

Stuart Pearce was a close second on last month's poll, picking up 26% of the votes.

Third went to Stan Collymore (9%), closely followed by Peter Shilton (8%) and Des Walker (3%).

Current City Ground management duo Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane both made the list with a slim 1% of the vote each.

In total there were 13 other Garibaldi legends who received votes from supporters, leading us to ask the question: Who would make the club's greatest ever XI?

On Tuesday, you surprised absolutely nobody by voting Shilton as the club's greatest ever goalkeeper, with Peter Grummitt, Mark Crossley and Steve Sutton absolutely nowhere in the race.

So with the top spot on the team sheet now full, it's time to turn our attention to number two, and the club's best ever right-back.

Viv Anderson will be the clear favourite, but as ever there are a list of other names who will be looking to keep pace with the ex-England man.

Brian Laws, Des Lyttle and Joe Wilson share over 400 Reds appearance between them and were all nominated by fans on our Facebook page .

Peter Hindley, who spent 11 years at the City Ground, rounds off the five man short list.

So get voting!
