Special mentions for Duncan Mckenzie and Peter Withe who didn't figure in the poll but were both excellent player's.

Easily the best striker ive seen in my time and probably in the top 3 of best players ive seen wear the shirt. Des and Psycho being the others*
*Ive disocunted the miracle lads as i was so young i didint really know what I was watching.
What a talent Collymore was. Unbelievable performances he put in for us.
Yet he didn’t win player of the season in either of his 2 seasons with us. There seems to be a discrepancy?
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 16-06-2022
As a matter of interest who did win player of the season in the 2 years that Collymore was with us?
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Sausage Roll - 16-06-2022
Pretty sure David Phillips won the Championship season.
It was. And Steve Stone the Premier League season.

Thanks SR it just shows what a great team we had back then that Stan didn't win player of the season.
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Dog and Bear - 17-06-2022
That is an incredible fact thinking about it.
Our greatest ever Striker never won player of the season.
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Redpat1972 - 17-06-2022
I’ve seen all the great strikers from Joe Baker , Frank Wignall even Peter Withe but non compare to Stan Collymore. He was the most complete forward Forest ever had.
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 18-06-2022
Interesting that you mention Peter Withe because we were comparing him to keinan Davis the other day.
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Redpat1972 - 18-06-2022
My recollection Sniffer of Withe was of a big bustling centre forward who was not too shabby on the floor. Also a great foil with Tony Woodcock . A typical big man little man forward line of the time
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 19-06-2022
Yes that is exactly how I remember them they were a fantastic duo Withe and Woodcock.

I would have Wood over Sheringham.
RE: Our Best Ever Striker - Salvatore Matrecano - 03-02-2025
Sheringham was ultimately the superior player. But if you are looking at what thay did for Forest, Teddy cleared off back to London the second he had a chance leaving us up the creak without a CF. Wood has made far more of an impact already.
