Christian Edwards

Joining from Swansea in 1998, for the final leg of Forest's Championship season, Edwards had to wait for eight months to get hs debut from manager Dave Basset. He did little to impress after that and was on the verge of leaving the squad, when David Platt draughted him in to help cover injuries at the start of the 2000/01 season. Christian took his chance well and established himself into the team forming a strong partnership with fellow centre back, Tony Vaughan.

In this season Edwards showed himself to have previously unseen strength and a good reading of play, battling hard throughout games. His best asset was his talent when heading the ball, but he could fall short when attackers run at him. Also, his passing often let him down once he had won the ball.

Edwards wasn't been able to impress Paul Hart much, his lack of passing ability not fitting in with the new manager's plans. He was loaned to Crystal Palace for two months of the 2001/02 season but failed to secure a permanent move. A series of loan spells oves followed until he was finally released at the end of the 2002/03 season to Bristol Rovers on a free transfer.
