Nott'm Forest

📖 Club History

Nottingham Forest, founded in 1865, achieved the extraordinary feat of winning back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980 under the legendary Brian Clough — just two years after winning their first top-division title. This remarkable achievement, accomplished by a provincial club with a modest budget, remains one of English football's greatest stories. After decades in the lower divisions, Forest returned to the Premier League in 2022 under Steve Cooper, and have since established themselves back in the top flight.
