Jeff Whitefoot on life as a Busby Babe at Manchester United, meeting the Queen at Wembley and winning the FA Cup with Nottingham Forest in 1959

It would make a searching pub quiz question. Can you name the only living Nottingham Forest FA Cup winner?

The answer is not to be found in any of Brian Clough’s marvellous Forest teams, as the trophy always eluded the iconic manager during his glittering career.

Instead, we retreat further, to 20 years before Clough’s first European Cup success, as Billy Walker’s team overcame Luton Town to win Forest’s second and last FA Cup in 1959.

Next year will mark the 60th anniversary of the triumph and the only survivor is 84-year-old Jeff Whitefoot.
