Great init?
On the 27th of June 1970 at City Hall, Truro, Cornwall a band called Queen played their first gig under that name. They were billed as Smile but had changed their name prior to the gig as Roger Taylors diary states. I wonder what become of them?

A little advice please. I've been on Discogs and this is the top price I'm well aware it's nowhere near this due to condition.
What's a average price for what I have?

R.I.P Rick Buckler of The Jam. One of the best drummers in the business and one of the greatest British bands ever.

Released on this day in 1986. The first "new" Queen album I bought on its release and with my own money.
It's worth the price of admission for the roar of the crowd after the One Vision intro.

Ken Oliver scored his 50th Reds goal on this day in 1962 in a 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers at Oakwell. Whilst it was not his most memorable goal [pic], it made him the fastest player to reach the milestone, beating previous record-holder George Lillycrop (92) by one appearance.

Just Russell Wainscoat scoring a ‘rabona’ for The Reds some 25 years before it was apparently first documented…

Since the start of the 1988/89 season (as far back as my assist data is complete), nineteen players have reached 46 goal contributions for The Reds. The only five to do so faster than Adam Phillips (106 apps) are:

Hignett (65)
Hourihane (81)
Currie (88)
Winnall (90)
Woodrow (92)

Ian Banks scored a perfect hat-trick in just twelve second-half minutes 34 years ago today as The Reds progressed to Round 2 of The Full Members Cup at the expense of West Bromwich Albion with a 5-3 win at The Hawthorns. Robinson & Smith had notched earlier for Mel Machin’s men.

I remember that game. It was a thrill to see some great players in the Forest side as a Barnsley fan. Even better we won.
Forest hadn't played us since 1957 by that fixture in 1993!
When I signed for Forest ( in the Championship, after Clough left), I had a tough start to the season as did the team.

The low point, at Barnsley was "what a waste of money"..

From Forest supporters.

I managed to redeem myself though.
