EXCLUSIVE: Pre-match music shortlist
21/02/03 | by Our Man On The Inside

According to Forest's club psychologist, Chris Harwood, Paul Hart chose the theme tune from Russel Crowe's romp Gladiator as the pre-match music at the City Ground because of its motivational properties. The link with brawler Crowe might well explain a few recent disciplinary lapses, but Chris insists that the piece has "all the qualties needed to create a work ethic and motivate the players" (to everyone in the Trent End, however, the only quality it has is a big wall of noise).
