A little corner for my beloved Nottingham.
Source VICTORY:
Nottingham Forest (en: Nottingham Forest Football Club) is an English football team, which currently competes in League One, the third in the English professional league. But it has a glorious past. Its top successes have been two consecutive conquests Champions League in the late 80.
The headquarters of the club, founded in 1865, is City Ground in the city of Nottingham, 30.600 viewer capacity. His nicknames are "The Reds" from the red jerseys he wears and "Forest". The name of the group came from the name of its first pitch, the "Forest Recreation Ground", where today is held an annual trade fair of goose, "Nottingham Goose Fair". Moreover, the Nottingham Forest is famous for its action Robin Hood.
The team is often referred to simply as "Forest", but should not be confused with an older amateur team, Forest FC, which is better known as "The Wanderers FC". Also, the Notts Forest shortcut is listed by some because Notts refers to Nottinghamshire province - where Notts County (Notch County) - not the town of Nottingham. The correct shortcut is Nott'm Forest.
Establishment - First years
Nottingham Forest was founded in 1865 by a team of footballers a few years after the famous neighboring team, Notch County, which has founded 1862 is the oldest professional football club. The team council established the red color for the group, in honor of the Italian revolutionary Garibaldi, whose followers were wearing red liners.
1888 or Forrest joined the Football Alliance category. 1892 won the title with the result that it entered the Professional League (Football League). The first great title of the group was the England Cup 1898 when she defeated her Derby County with 3-1. However, in the championship he played permanently in the B class as 1949. In fact, 1914 finished late and was threatened to be expelled from the professional category. 1949 was downgraded to Grade 3 but returned to B after two years.
As soon as 1957 managed to be promoted to the A class and 1959 to conquer once more England Cup. At this time he managed for the first time to overcome fame and success the fellow citizen Notch County. As 1972 redeemed had some successful years, ending 1967 in second place.
The Bryan Klaw Period
Until the mid-nineties of 70, Nottingham was considered a small union for its data English professional championship. Until they took over the union's fortunes Bryan Clove (Brian Clough) and his assistant Peter Taylor. Klaf proved to be the most successful coach in the history of the club. She had already won a championship with her Derby County 1972 when he signed to Nottingham on 6 January 1975, succeeding Alan Brown. It reorganized the team and 1977 won its promotion in the A category, relatively difficult after finishing third. No one could imagine what would follow in the next three years.
The next season, 1977-78, won the title, something that few up-and-coming teams had ever made and no one has ever since. Even more surprising is that the following year, 1978-79, conquered it Champions League defeating the Swedish in the final Malmö with 1-0. 1980 regained the European Cup defeating 1-0 Hamburg thanks to the amazing presence of the goalie Peter Silton.
This amazing team also fought: Def Andrew Anderson (Viv Anderson, the first black footballer to have fought in England), Kenny Burns (Scottish International), Martin O'Neill and Arci Gemel (Archie Gemmill, Scotsman) and aggressive Trevor Francis, John Robertson (Scottish)
The successes come one after the other. The club won the European Championship Super Cap and two League Cap. He also reached his semifinals UEFA Cup 1983-84, where it was blocked by Anderlecht. It was an unfair foreclosure, since much later it was argued that Anderlecht had bribed the referee of the second match, who had actually canceled a regular Nottingham goal.
There was a renewal, and 1989 had an amazing year. He won the League Cup, finished third in the championship at the England Cup arrived to the semifinal he lost to the final final by Liverpool FK in the tragic fight of Hilsborough, where 96 Liverpool fans were killed in the stands. 1990 regained the League Cup, defeating it Oldham Athletic in the final. He was also a finalist of the 1991 Cup, and was defeated by Tottenham with 2-1 on the prolongation of the League Cup and 1992, where he was defeated by Manchester United. This successful season ended with two Achievements of the "Full Members Cup", a smaller trophy worth 1989 and 1992.
Klaff's presence at the wheel of the club ended in May of 1993 after 18 years when the club was downgraded. At this time he won two European trophies, one league and four League Cups.
The post-Claff era
Frank Clark, the old left-wing of the 1979 team, got the position of Klaff. Using essentially the players that Klaf had, he managed to raise the club again Premier League and then 1994-95 to finish in third place by winning his stake in UEFA Cup.
Moderate years followed, with coach changes. 1997 was deferred but went up the next season. Despite the presence of names on the bench, such as Ron Atkinson and David Platt, the team did nothing great. Indeed, he noted some of the most painful defeats in his history, culminating in the 8-1 crash by Manchester United 1998-99.
At the same time, unsuccessful choices have created major financial exposures to the club. So he was forced to reduce the bets and drive out the expensive footballers. They fled to the low positions of the second professional class. Ultimately, the worst was not avoided, as 2005 was downgraded to League One, the third-time category for the first time since 54 years. However, 3 2008 on 3 on 2 after winning Jove Town with XNUMX-XNUMX, finished second in League One, winning its automatic rise to the Championship, in the second professional league in England.
