Nottingham Forest On This Day: History, Facts & Figures from Every Day of the Year (Hardcover)

Description

---

Nottingham Forest On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster history, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Forest diary - with an entry for every day of the year. From the early days of gentlemen hoofing "the leather" about on the Forest Recreation Ground, the club went on twice to become European champions under the irrepressible Clough and Taylor. Along the way, the Reds faithful have witnessed FA and League Cup final triumphs, hard-fought derby matches, and their club finishing bottom of the entire Football League - all featured here. All-time greats including Bob McKinlay, Trevor Francis, Grenville Morris, Nigel Clough and Peter Shilton loom large - while fans will yearn to discover who won the club's inaugural Players' Darts Tournament, and which goalie conceded 15 goals in a Reds career totalling just three appearances.
