As a life long supporter 67 years, they was the best passing team i have ever seen play in the black and white shirt, with my all time favourite player Iian McCulloch (remember his goal versus Villa away), those were the days eh.

agree @macpie, Sirrel with Wilko installing  a passing philosophy combined with work rate

I would like to see Nolan play with a sweeper, Hewitt is the natural thought for this but lacks the passing ability needed

I think this is the squad that my dad has a sticker book of the old first division teams.

Iian McCulloch

I might be corrected but Iian was a winger right?

The squad from the early 80's are absolute legends and, the squad was filled with players even I look fondly back on. Obviously it's before my time but I have heard many stories over the years about former players. I would have enjoyed seeing them play back in the day.

@Andy Black and @stewartpot have told me things about Iain McCulloch, along with my grandfather.

I believe I had met him twice also.

I echo this comment, the fluid passing from this team was a joy to watch.

Fantastic squad that played football in the right way, a squad built with a purpose and knew exactly what each player delivered.

Fantastic team/squad and a fantastic read as well i was to young to see the team live but I read about them. Loved this cause you find out what became of them fantastic read first class

before my time too but i appreciate what they did.

Brilliant team, that takes me back! Great players, great era!

One of the best Notts squads I have seen play together, a squad full of men and great footballers.

Way, way, way before my time but its an interesting era with the club getting several promotion near to this time. It sounds like Notts had a very good squad back then too.

I think the majority of young fans would have liked to see Notts taking on the very best teams in the league, I've seen footage before and Notts played with a lot of pace. I think Notts was also one of few teams that gave black players a chance.
