In Forest, Viv Anderson did encounter racism, even after he was voted the best right-back in Nottingham Forest; he was playing in the 70's in which racism was popular. He often had to deal with racism, this included people saying racist names and throwing bananas, apples and pears at him. When Nottingham Forest were playing Carlisle United, this incident occured and Viv was currently warming up on the sidelines, so he ran back to sit down but was stopped by boss Brian Clough, who told him to fetch him 2 pears and a banana which still makes him laugh today.
