IT could take Hercule Poirot to sort this one out, but can anyone clear up the mystery surrounding the death of former Forest footballer Sam Jennings?
Some websites report that Jennings was killed in action during World War Two, at the age of 45.
But was he? Because some record books insist that he died from pneumonia, in Robertsbridge Sanitorium, in Sussex, on August 26, 1944, aged 46.
What is clear is that Jennings was born in Cinderhill, on December 26, 1898. He started his career with Highbury Vale Methodists, before joining Basford United.
Jennings enlisted in the Coldstream Guards on the outbreak of war in 1914. But the Army soon discovered that he was under age and told him to come back in two years' time.
Jennings guested for both Notts County and Tottenham during the war, while working at the Ordnance Factory in Basford.
In 1919, he joined Norwich City along with his brother, Billy, who also played for Notts County, Luton Town and Northampton Town.
Billy got his chance at County when centre-half Arthur Clamp was injured and collected a Division Two championship medal in his first season.
After hostilities ceased he went on to total 227 League and Southern League appearances.
His son, Henry William, played for Northampton, Ipswich and Rochdale.
Incidentally, Sam left Norwich after one season without playing a game, after Middlesbrough paid £2,500 for his services. It was a massive sum at the time.
The Norwich manager, the legendary Major Frank Buckley, didn't want to lose him, but the club needed the money.
Jennings scored two goals in ten games for 'Boro after his appearances were limited due to illness.
But it was during three years at Reading that he really started to catch the eye, with 45 goals in 110 games.
Jennings would be worth a fortune if he was playing today. A goal-scoring forward, he averaged a goal every two games.
West Ham snapped him up in 1924, but he played only nine games (scoring against Preston and Burnley and in the 1-2 defeat at Forest) before Charlie Webb signed him for Brighton & Hove Albion, in 1925, for a club record £650.
His tally of 61 goals in 110 games for Brighton alerted Forest, who signed him in May 1928 for an undisclosed fee.
He soon repaid that and was leading scorer with 16 goals from 28 games, 15 in the League, two more than new signing Bert Heathcock, as Forest finished 11th in Division Two.
Jennings, who could play at inside forward or centre-forward, made his debut in the 5-1 defeat at home to Stoke.
He opened his account in the 2-2 draw at Grimsby and followed up with hat-tricks in the 5-3 wins at Swansea and Bristol City before losing his place to Heathcock.
Jennings later played for Port Vale, scoring 24 goals as they won the Third Division (North) title.
Basford-born inside-forward Albert Pynegar, was also in the Port Vale side.
But Pynegar, who started his career with Eastwood Rangers, fell out with Jennings and was transferred to Chesterfield after scoring 34 goals in 56 games.
Jennings moved on to Stockport and Burnley followed before joining Wisbech Town as player and then secretary-coach. He was the first professional on Wisbech's books.
Jennings had a spell in France in 1933, coaching Olympique Marseille and also had a season in Switzerland.
He was player-coach at Scarborough and coached at Glentoran before taking over as manager at Rochdale.
Pynegar, meanwhile, flourished at Saltergate, scoring 26 goals in 29 games as they won the Division Three (North) title.
Chesterfield did it in style, beating Gateshead 8-1 on the final day of the season, Pynegar weighing-in with a hat-trick.
Pynegar, who finished his career with Rotherham, also played for Sutton Town, Leicester City, Coventry City and Oldham. He died in Basford in 1978.
