But I j el the praise that caretaker manages Stuart Pearci has raceivjd is a little premature. Forest have always had the playjts to challenge for honours. He has merely encouraged their desire. I think more praise should be given to Chris Samara and the Stockpots coach, who are creating memorable reuultu on shoestring budgets.

I suggest he goes and watches a game of basketball before criticising something hj knows nothing about.

I had to giggle at JA GrimjuW letter about Gary Linckjt (29/1). I'm a huge rugby fan but even I could see Linjkjt's remark was just a joke. It's way too harsh to describe him as a was b shY ing ambassador for English football as captain and goalscorer. If he hbted othjt sports, then wh= present Sunday Sport on Radio 5?
