Collymore: “I never had a pineapple on my head!”

I certainly made the right choice this evening, instead of going to the City Ground to watch Forest slump to a by-all-accounts embarrassing 3-2 defeat to Peterborough United in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, I headed into Nottingham to The Approach to enjoy an evening in the company of a certain Stanley Victor Collymore.  And I [...]
