JUMPING FOR FOREST NOTTINGHAM FOREST PROGRAMME CLUB (IND) WEST'S NEWSAGENTS NEW FAN IN HONG KONG There was a real 'Forest Feel' to a showjumping event held recently to raise money for the Lines Notts Air Ambulance. The course included a Forest Show/jump, which was resplendentin our colours, but the connection with The City Ground didn't end there. Our picture shows the Forest jump being cleared by a horse called Market Force, which was being ridden by Vicki Young (1). Vicki is the daughter of our former central defender Willie, who made 64 appearances for us in the early 1980s. It doesn't end there - as Market Force is owned by former leading international showjumper Malcolm Pyrah, who is a keen follower of our fortunes and a season ticket holder in 'C' block of the Main Stand. And what's more, the showjumping event was organised by William and Sarah Potter, who are also life-long supporters. IA RADCLIFFE ROAD, WEST BRIDGFORD.

COLLECTIONS ALWAYS SOUGHT. Our Academy goalkeeping coach Mick Leonard is perhaps best known around these parts for the time he spent with Notts County. But Mick also spent seven years of his career playing in Hong Kong, where he made quite a name for himself. He's still a regular visitor to the former British colony and on a recent trip he met up with his former South China team-mate Lee Kin Wo. Lee is one of the biggest names in the game in that part of the world and is the reigning'Hong Kong Footballer of the Year'. And his son, Lee Ka Wah, clearly has excellent taste in football shirts - as our photo shows (2). Mick explains: "When I went out there last summer I gave Lee Ka Wah a Forest strip but it was way too big for him. "By the time I went back this year he had grown into it-and seemed really proud to be seen wearing it." 18 www.nottinghamforest.co.uk
