he had lost his wife and kids in a car accident not long before so I wouldn't be to critical of him.
Thank you King Joe. I had forgotten about that.

Wasn't he the difference between promotion for Brian Clough's Forest out of Division 2?

Another couple from the distance past but again good pro footballers for Forest and brought for peanuts, George Lyall and Doug Fraser.

For me he was a hit. In season 2009/07 Holt managed to score 18 goals despite starting many games on the bench.
If I remember well he was also voted player of the season.
RE: A Hit Or A Flop - Alf Garnett - 01-04-2020
Grant Holt - Hit but we could have and should have got so much more out of him.
RE: A Hit Or A Flop - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 01-04-2020
Good points about Grant Holt above, hard to disagree.
Jim Brennan - Hit or Flop?

Calderwood played him as a winger for quite a few games too

For the record I will say he was a hit.
RE: A Hit Or A Flop - Trent End Dave - 02-04-2020
Grant Holt - hit for me. Went on to better things but did what he was brought in to do here.
