James Garner: Great man, car nut, 3-time Indy 500 pace car driver (Motorsport.com, Edition: Global)

James Garner was a wonderfully natural actor to whom we could all relate, and also very much a car guy, to which surely all Motorsport.com readers can ...

And even when he was away – and he was away on shoots quite a bit – he would make sure we got time to spend together. Whether it’s Maverick or Rockford or one of his movies, whenever I want to I can just settle down, pull out the remote and just watch Dad.” I was so little at the time, I really thought he was drowning and I started screaming in the theater and had to be removed. “He treated people very well and always stuck up for the underdog,” confirms Gigi. “He was just a good person. Many advise to not meet your heroes, but I’m quite discerning and 80 percent of those I’ve met have lived up to my expectations, and I’m quite sure James Garner would have been in that category. As Corbett suggested, Garner approached his job without artifice – beyond the fact that he was acting – and we loved and still love him for it. “I was there for quite a bit of the filming of Grand Prix, but to your point, no, I don’t think I quite realized how much risk Dad was taking to make that movie. Even later, I used to hear about him going to work and just think, ‘That’s dad, he does things that are make believe,’ and it wouldn’t occur to me that he might be going off to do things that are super-dangerous.” They just put a thin strip of leather in to look like a Formula 1 seat of the time, but there was no padding. While a character such as James Bond was smooth, slick, cocksure of himself and always had a gadget or five to pull him out of trouble, Aron was a suave, heroic yet very human figure, fighting the same earthly bonds of emotion and judgment as the rest of us, but doing it better. The late three-time Indy 500 winner and two-time Indy car champion Bobby Unser, one of Garner’s unofficial driving coaches, once told me: “James was a very good student of racing. Garner’s easy-going manner and man-of-the-people attitude probably removed his mystique for many, and therefore robbed him of some of the adulation he deserved.

James Garner's crunching tackle was the perfect symbol of Forest's ... (PlanetFootball)

James Garner has been excellent during Nottingham Forest's promotion campaign, with his cross deciding the play-off final against Huddersfield.

Blessed with a delivery so efficient it puts the Royal Mail to shame, Garner has contributed eight assists to the Forest cause this year. And pundits have been falling over themselves to praise the midfielder all season. He’s hard in the tackle, he’s not scared, his long-range passing, his short-range passing is amazing.” When Steve Cooper, the doppelganger of Ned Schneebly, was appointed last September, Forest were rooted to the bottom of the Championship with one point from eight matches. The celebration police will point out that Forest had 38 games to rectify their situation. But, courtesy of an own goal by Huddersfield defender Levi Colwill in Sunday’s play-off final, Forest are finally back in the top flight of English football.Their achievement has been remarkable.

What next for James Garner? (Manchester United)

Football writer and Forest fan Daniel Storey says Erik ten Hag would be 'foolish' not to consider the midfielder.

There's four loan players there, of which Garner is one, then there's [Philip] Zinckernagel and [Djed] Spence and Keinan Davis, and I think they'll be looking to try and make permanent or extend the loans of as many as possible.

If you learn anything from this season it's to try and keep the core of that team together. They signed 13-14 players every season, and you didn't really know what the starting XI or even the matchday squad was going to be from one to the next.

Forest needed that yesterday, because there weren't many in the second half that were able to take their time with the ball and not panic.” “Well, the first thing to say is it wasn't a good final! A keen Forest fan, Storey described Sunday as “probably the best day of my life”, and has closely watched Jimmy throughout the season.
