Nottingham Forest Football Club

Nottinghamshire, NG2 5FJ

The early history of Forest is predictably sketchy as they date back to the 1860's. The generally accepted version is that they were formed in 1865 from a Shinny team who wanted to take up the new game of football.(Shinny was an early form of hockey). They named themselves Forest after the Forest Recreation Ground which was the field they first played on. Their first recorded match was against local rivals Notts County in March 1866 which is reported as a 0-0 draw or a 1-0 win to Forest depending on your source.
Forest first entered the FA Cup in 1879 and hold the distinction of being the only club to have played FA Cup ties in the four home countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) The Football League was formed in 1888 but Forest weren't in the original membership, so Forest joined the Combination League which soon folded and later the Football Alliance which they won in 1891/92. The following season the Alliance was incorporated into the Football League as a Second Division, but Forest were accepted into the First as Alliance Champions. Since then Forest have spent all their time in either the First or Second divisions, apart from 2 seasons in Division Three (south) in 1949/50 and 50/51 finishing 4th and 1st respectively. The FA Cup was won in 1898 and again in 1959, but it wasn't until the late 1970's that trophies became plentiful. This was due in no small way to the remarkable management skills of Brian Clough & Peter Taylor. Clough was only Forests 8th manager since the post was created in 1936. Under Clough & Taylor, Forest won the First Division Championship in 1978 and the Football League Cup in 1978 & 1979, plus the European Champions Cup in 1979 & 1980. Taylor retired in 1982, but Clough went to win more trophies in the late 80's most notably the Football League Cup again in successive years in 1989 and 1990. ....
