bazza Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Quite young really. When we used to go down to the Good Food Show in Birmingham we stayed at the Arden Hotel near the NEC. One morning he was in the breakfast dining room chatting with the chef. RIP Trev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47er Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Saw him playing for Birmingham at Ewood when he was only16 years old---the best player on the field and won it for them. Clear then he would be a real star. Anyone else on here see that game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt Seavers Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 He would have been at Forest when they played at Ewood in the big cup tie which was 1980 I think. I don't actually remember him playing in that game though. Brilliant night that. Felt like a huge match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only memorable thing Hill did in 2 seasons. Another one in a line of underwhelming left wingers we signed at the time. We paid good money for him as well.

Backroom Mike E Posted July 24 Backroom Share Posted July 24 Peter Shilton was often quoted: ’Brian Cloughie bought the first million pound player and for some reason later him on the right wing!’ Have say the price was irrelevant when his debut in the European Cup was for Forest, in the final, and scored the winning goal. A proper Roy of the Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjamfan1 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 In a bizarre twist of fate, one of his former players died on the same day at the tender age of 49. He also played for Forest and Owls so a sad day for those clubs. RIP Chris Bart-Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it was completely out of the blue as well. Condolences to both families. RIP Chris & Trevor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
