Early life

Le Flem was one of a number of young footballers from the Channel Islands recruited by Nottingham Forest in the 1950s. He joined the club as an apprentice in 1959 before signing as a professional in May 1960. He made his debut in a 3–1 win away to Cardiff City on 10 September 1960 and went on to play 132 Football League games for Forest, scoring 18 goals. He was transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 1964, in a swap for Alan Hinton. His spell at Wolves was disrupted by serious illness, when he contracted jaundice on a visit home to Guernsey. He later had short spells with Middlesbrough and Leyton Orient before retiring from football in 1967. [2]
