I Believe in Miracles (film about Nottingham Forest)

[LadislavMplmx]

I am looking forward to this.

As a 23 year old I can't quite get my head around somebody taking a second division side to promotion to the top flight then winning the league in that next season followed by back to back European Cups in the space of 4-5 years.

It would be like one of Bournemouth, Watford or Norwich winning the league this year and winning the Champions League back to back in 2017 and 2018.

Can anybody tell me if the likes of Robertson and Burns would make one of the top sides now?

Was Shilton better than Hart?

Robertson was incredibly quick over the 1st few yards,seemed to always get past the full back,Burns was a centre forward at Birmingham and was always in trouble before Clough transformed him to a very cool classy centre half,difficult to say about Hart/Shilton as times/rules have changed,Shilton seemed to get better&better as he got older so Joe's got time on his side

Shilton was maybe better than Hart , not sure if he was better than Corrigan though. ;-)

Forest were brilliant. One of the best ever English sides. It is great they are finally getting some credit. At the time they never received the recognition they deserved because unsurprisingly the media was, just like nowadays, dominated by its obsession with Liverpool and United. Their 4-0 demolition of the rags at Old Trafford was the time that other fans started to take notice. They were a real "pass and move team" and very aggressive but not dirty. The nearest team I have seen to them in recent years was probably Klop's Dortmund side. Forest were built on a fantastic back four.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Fantastic team they were. Still the only team in Europe to win the European cup more times than their domestic title.

As a young lad, I used to LOVE watching Robertson play. Genius.

Watching that youtube vid, I never realised Woodcock had that much pace. Looked quick on there

And did one thing Bacon couldn't do - retained the European cup.
He was a very dodgy penalty decision given in Madrid away from reaching the final with Derby.

It was Juventus they played in the semi final. Derby that is.

Forest were a great team and it truly was a miracle what Clough achieved with them, looking forward to seeing it.

I'm sure it has been found to be a game that had been 'fixed'

I still believe Cloughie is the greatest manager this country has ever produced, the propaganda emanating from Trafford notwithstanding.

Technically THIS country didn't produce Fergie so regardless you're right!
