It seems that Nottingham Forest had the support of some big Hollywood names when they met Valencia in the first round of the Fairs Cup in 1961.
This telegram was sent to the team in their hotel prior to the game by the Production Manager on the set of ‘Damn The Defiant’ which was released a year later in 1962.
Well-wishers include actors Dirk Bogarde, Alec Guinness and Anthony Quayle along with producer John Bradbourne.
Sadly Forest lost 2 – 0 in the away leg and then went down 5 – 1 at home.
