Football: That Was The Weekend That Was: Missing... making it... and mistaken

Andy Gray

Nottingham Forest

The one player to emerge with credit from Leeds United's 3-0 Coca- Cola Cup final drubbing by Aston Villa in 1996, at 18 the future looked bright for Andy, who stirred memories of the wing play of his uncle Eddie. Then along came George Graham, whose cup of tea he was not. Joined Forest - his father Frank's old club - for a mere pounds 175,000 last summer but has so far made only five starts.

Andy O'Brien

Bradford City

The 19-year-old lost his City place under manager Paul Jewell and his appearance against Watford on 6 February was his first for a month. But that did not stop the England Under-21 coach, Peter Taylor, selecting him for last week's friendly against France at Derby and the centre-back justified Taylor's faith, playing an impressive part in a fine victory.

Thanks to Pavel Srnicek's recent red card, Pressman started his first senior match for three months on Saturday. What has he been doing in the meantime? Preparing his Liberal party leadership challenge, some would suggest.
