great interview.. Fascinating comments .. Nice to see you are still around Jason ..
Great bloke , respect his story about discrimination and his work to change . all power to you
Jason did one thing very well which I have never seen before or since in a Forest team. When our keeper used to kick it upfield, it would inevitably be onto Jason's head and he would get a good flick on for another player to run onto. It worked as a tactic and created a lot of chances. Thanks for coming on Jason.
He's got a pineapple on his head.
Nearly didnt watch this but im so glad i did great interview and what an interesting career Jason has had they say adversity makes you stronger the example of Jason is clear evidence of that!!!
He’s a good lad is Jason I’d like to have a night out on the town with him.
I have not looked at the table after our defeat, nor will I.
Do these TV Docs actually help right now? I think the timing is wrong with the greatest respect to all.
Forest legend 🍍. Nice to hear from him that Arsenal are a smaller club.
We need Psycho back for last 7 games!
Another enjoyable show thanks Rachel and Jason. Forest and Ilson – My team's 👊🏿👊🏻👊🏽
Top bloke! Nice interview
Are you available on Saturday Jason – lol
Stanley Collymore up front on his own was as good as 2 up front
Jason's biggest fault at Forest was his timing – being Stan's 'replacement' and also coming from the same selling team. He put in tons of effort every game – but just wasn't in the same class as Stan who was exceptional and unplayable at times. Jason had to cope with the horrid sketches by Badiel & Skinner which would cause uproar these days, but then were considered funny. "Pineapple on his head" is a good comedic observation, and not racist in it's own right – a white man 'blacking up' to portray him ungenerously certainly was. I've never heard him speak at length before but he's amazingly eloquent and I'm so glad he's involved in trying to eradicate all forms of prejudice not only in football but society in general. Well done Jason – keep it up!!
Yeh but who won the trophies, Clough or Graham Taylor? I know who I would want to play for!!
Decent human being second rate player
As long as there are human beings, there will be racism. However, institutional and systemic racism can be eradicated
Brilliant bloke, how can you not like him. 👏
So it is ok to laugh about a young lad suffering from premature grey hair by calling him Grandad but not ok to to laugh at a player who chooses to style his hair similar to a pineapple? Very childish.
he's got a pineapple on his chin
Love Jason… no one should have gone through what that man went through….good lad
Gary bull… forgotten about him
Lives in Bingham I believe
Great interview
