Wasn't even born in the late 70s when they won the league and 2 European cups and various other trophys so have a lot of questions for our older posters after watching the documentary I believe in miracles
1) it was interesting to note when Clough took over Forest they were mid table in the second division.... Sunderland were 2nd to a little team by the name of Manchester United. But my question was why would Clough join a mid table 2nd division team when he had just left a huge team in Leeds and had won the title with Derby via brighton.... I can only think he was still living in the Midlands but surely most top clubs would have been after him.
2) Who were actually a better team in the late 70s Liverpool or Forest? Both had amazing teams but the Liverpool players are still more household names.
3) Give me a rundown of some forest players... I can't believe Ian bowyer didn't get an England cap and Larry Lloyd only got 4 as they feature heavily on the documentary.
Every forest player talks about John Robertson as being one of the best wingers in the world was he really that good. Clough called him Picasso and John mcgovern said he was superior to Ryan Giggs
Who else in the team stood out.
4) I hear about Clough taking little forest to 2 European cups with little money and a team of journeyman... But that isn't true is it.... He signed England's top goalkeeper in Shilton and paid double the British Transfer Record to buy Trevor Francis.... Still a great achievement nevertheless.
