The Official History of Nottingham Forest
IN THE BEGINNING (1865)
Nottingham Forest Football Club originally emerged from a group of "shinney" players who played a then popular game very similar to hockey. At a time when football began to emerge as a growing force, a special meeting took place in 1865 at the Clinton Arms, Shakespeare St. to discuss a proposition moved by J.S.Scrimshaw to switch games from "shinney" to football. This was passed, and the first official football match played was on 22 March 1866 against Notts County (who had been formed in 1862). Following a brief transitionary period and the establishment of new committee, Nottingham Forest Football Club was born in 1867.
THE EARLY YEARS (1865 - 1898)
The year 1865 was of equal importance in that at the same meeting at the Clinton Arms, the other main resolution passed was for the team to purchase a dozen red caps, complete with tassels, thereby establishing the official club colour: "Garibaldi Red", named after the leader of the Italian freedom fighters known as the redshirts, who were universally popular in England at that time.
Nottingham Forest Football Club formally applied for and was accepted into the Football League in 1892, after being originally rejected in its inaugural year of 1888. Instead, Forest played in the Football Alliance, culminating in 1892 when they won the competition, a feat which paved the way for their entry into the Football League.
Although Forest's entry into the Football had been somewhat belated in contrast to Notts County, Forest had experienced a colourful existence playing in the Alliance; a period perhaps most heralded in the season 1878-1879 when Forest experienced two significant events. Firstly, the team and club were greatly strengthened as a result of the Notts Castle Club being disbanded and joining Forest en bloc; with the influx of this additional talent, Forest became an extremely powerful team. Secondly, with this strengthened side, Forest decided to enter the FA Challenge Cup competition for the first time. Notts County had made their first challenge in the previous year; they were now to meet in the first round, held at the Beeston Cricket Ground, Forest came out 3 - 1 winners, with Forest reaching the semi-final.
Another momentous season during this period in Forest's infancy was that of 1897-98 when they won the FA Cup playing against Derby County in the final. The final score was 3-1, ironically reversing the score of 5-1 in Derby's favour in a League game the previous week. There had been 62,017 at the final played at Crystal Palace on Saturday April 16 1898. Forest had brought 5,000 fans with them on special trains.
From a historical point of view, this initial period in Forest's existence had seen a number of Football "Firsts". Forest was the first English team to wear the shin-guard in 1874 (although worn outside the socks). In 1878, Forest's game against Sheffield Norfolk was credited as being the first occasion in the English game when a whistle had been used by a referee. It was Forest again; who had invented, at the behest of Sam Widdowson, the "classical" formation of a goalkeeper, two full- backs three-man halfback line and five forwards. A formation initially introduced during the 1870s by Forest, enduring a life span right into the early 1960s.
The early years witnessed a string of changing playing ground locations. Initially, 1865 saw the team playing at the Forest Racecourse, relocating in 1879 to the Castle Ground and then the Meadows; between 1873 - 1885 saw Forest have varying spells at Trent Bridge, the Parkside Ground and the Gregory Ground, with a degree of continuity between 1890 - 1895 when Forest played at the Town Ground.
When Forest won the FA Cup the new century was only two more years away. Forest were already raising funds for yet another new ground. The energetic members of the private club that was Forest were not going to become complacent, and it seemed as if the football world was at their feet, inviting them to new heights. Their expectations were to be realised, but it took them over three-quarters of a century: Forest had first to experience a daunting barren midlife.
A BARREN MIDLIFE (1899 - 1944)
In 1897, before their momentous Cup win, the officers of Nottingham Forest Football Club decided to move to a new ground which was to become The City Ground, the club's home for the next 100 years.
With the exception of the period 1897 - 02, when Forest came fifth in the First Division, this period can best be summarised by Forest's rather tepid existence in the topflight. Forest were unable to do little even in the Second Division. From their relegation in 1925 up to the Second World War, they settled down mostly in the bottom half of that table. Perhaps the most ignominious period was the season 1913-14, when Forest finished bottom of the Second Division and needed to successfully seek re-election!
The crisis deepened early in 1915 when Forest had to advise the League that they couldn't pay their bills. With a £50 grant and support of a weekly payment for the rest of the season, Forest just survived. With all this, it was the outbreak of World War One that in effect saved Forest's very existence. For the duration of the war, the Football league was suspended, with football reverting into a Regional league structure for the duration. On the resumption of the normal Football League programme in 1919/20, Forest took their place in the Second Division.
Interestingly though, despite the lack of League success, Forest drew some remarkably good crowds. No fewer than 49,000 attended the 1927 Second Division match at Manchester City. During the 1929-30 season, the home match against Sheffield Wednesday, drew a crowd at The City Ground of 44,166.
The 1939-49 season was started, with the declaration of war on 3 September 1939 seeming to catch the Football League by surprise. Forest, in common with most clubs, had completed three games, winning two, and was on their way to Swansea when the announcement came, and they turned back at Oxford. The Football League was abandoned and regional leagues were rapidly arranged.
Once more perhaps, a world war had saved Forest from a serious crisis. By 1915, Forest were in debt to the tune of several thousand pounds, and were rescued from bankruptcy by the committee members digging into their own pockets. All players' contracts were cancelled, with Forest reverting to recruit local amateur players and the establishment of their first colts team, providing Forest with hope that they might be better equipped when the war would come to end.
A RETURN TO THE SUN (1945-1958)
Forest began the first post-war season in the Football League with optimism. Attendances were terrific, with nearly 33,000 turning up for the first home game against Newcastle. However, post-war optimism came crashing down when Forest were relegated from the Second Division into the Third, playing alongside County. However, Forest's two seasons in the old Third Division were to be the only ones to date. The 1951-52 season saw Forest's return to the Second, to be followed with promotion back up into the First Division at the end of the 1956-57 season.
Was the dawning of new era about to unfold?
A FIRST TILT AT GLORY (1958-1974)
Although Forest were back in the First Division, no one needed telling that they had won nothing in the twentieth century. This fact was to be challenged now on May 2 1959 when Forest met and beat Luton Town in the FA Cup at Wembley.
In the summer of 1959, Forest toured Spain and Portugal. Manager Billy Walker resigned after 21 years and was replaced by Andy Beattie. However, Forest's seemingly upward momentum received a check in the 1965-66 season, the centenary year, with the side dropping to 15th in the table.
In contrast, the 1966-67 season was to be a magical season. It drew the largest crowds the club had ever had -before or since - and at the time it held out the outstanding possibility that Forest might win the "double". The team that manager Johnny Carey had assembled had the virtue of being unchanged for most of the season. In goal was Peter Grommitt, with Peter Hindley, Terry Hennessey, Bob McKinlay and John Winfield on the back line. In mid-field, the creativity came from John Barnwell. The tackling mid-fielder was Henry Newton. There were three candidates for the outside two forward roles provided by Alan Hinton, Barry Lyons and Ian-Storey-Moore.The central attacking pair were Frank Wignall and "Zigger Zagger" Joe Baker. During the season Ian Storey-Moore scored 21 League goals, Baker 16 and Wignall 5. Throughout the season, the excitement and crowds just seemed to grow and grow. Attendances that season were the best in Forest's history. Although the season brought no silverware, expectations had been roused with Forest first ever runners up position at the top flight.
Irony was regrettably all that was to arrive at the City Ground by the end of the next season. Injuries to both Ian Storey-Moore and John Barnwell were soon to expose the fragility of Forest's success in 1967. It was the dependence on two or three players and a temporary gelling. It could easily have been built upon - crowds of 40,000 were virtually guaranteed at the time - but it was not be. Poor football management, its unique committee structure and proud amateurism almost inevitably led to its inability to sustain the success of that year.
After Matt Gillies left in October 1972, there were two short managerial reigns by Dave Mackay and Allan Brown. For a time, Forest were to languish in the Second Division. It seemed to be a typical tale of post-war Nottingham Forest, but just around the corner lurked a force that was to change everything, forever.
CLOUGH, EUROPE AND THE GLORY GAME (1975-1993)
The Clough era began on 6 January 1975.At first; Clough's influence was limited by budget. He appointed Jimmy Gordon, who had been with him at Derby and Leeds, as first team coach. In February he bought John O'Hare and John McGovern from Leeds. Next, Clough brought John Robertson and Martin O'Neill back into the fold, following their transfer requests under the Allan Brown regime. The end of season saw Frank Clark arrive on a free transfer from Newcastle.
The process of rejuvenation was cemented by the arrival, in July 1976, of Peter Taylor. Having resigned from Brighton, Taylor became Forest's Assistant Manager. It was from here that the real success began. One year later, Clough and Taylor had their original 4 year contracts extended by an additional year, a year which saw them set about reinforcing a squad that was to embark on an adventure which was to bring the highest accolades in both the Domestic and European Competitions to The City Ground.
The team saw the arrival of Kenny Burns, Larry Lloyd, Peter Shilton, Colin Barrett and David Needham, and dreams were beginning to become reality. It had taken just two years for Forest to begin the 1978-79 season with four major trophies in their sights: the Championship, League Cup, FA Cup and the European Cup.

The much-heralded partnership of Clough and Taylor came to an end in 1980. The 1981-82 season was to witness perhaps a new era, one to further legitimise Brian Clough's legendary place in the history of Nottingham Forest Football Club.

By 1993, it seemed inevitable that the era in the sun was coming to an end. Discontent had been mounting during the season, and on 1 March 1993 the club was forced to hold its first extraordinary meeting for 23 years. A group of shareholders had raised questions about the running of the club by Clough. Clough had in fact easily survived this foray, but nevertheless with relegation seeming inevitable, he announced his impending retirement on 26 April.
The end was pure tragedy. With a packed home ground, weeping supporters and near hysteria it became apparent that a great and joyous adventure was over: the unpredictable Pied Piper of a manager had gone. The final game of that season was away at Ipswich. Clough took dignified bows. Forest lost 2-1, and ironically his son, Nigel, scored the final goal of Clough's era.
LIFE AFTER BRIAN (1993-1998)
There were just two real options to replace Brian Clough. Favourite was Martin O'Neill, then with Wycombe. The other was Frank Clark, who had managed Leyton Orient from 1982-1991. In the event, Frank Clark became the New Forest manager.
Frank Clark had soon engineered a big turn-round in players. The exodus included Nigel Clough, Gary Charles, and Roy Keane. Newcomers included Stan Collymore, Colin Cooper, Des Lyttle, David Phillips, Gary Bull, Lars Bohinen, and Gary Bull. By the end of the season, after £10 million plus worth of transfer dealings, the Reds were back in the Premier at the first time of asking.
For the next season, the squad was strengthened with the purchase of Brian Roy from Foggia. But the new season witnessed the premature departure of Stan Collymore who insisted on moving to Liverpool for Forest's highest ever transfer sale of £8,500,000. Following this, Kevin Campbell came in from Arsenal and Chris Bart-William's from Sheffield Wednesday, with Andrea Silenzi from Torino.
The 1995-96 season saw Forest involved in their UEFA cup campaign up to the quarterfinal playing against Malmo, Auxerre and Bayern Munich. By the summer of 1996, it had become apparent that the club was facing a major crisis. The club was sliding into uncontrollable debt- the total deficit reached £11.3 million. The club soon found itself in the hands of its auditors, Price Waterhouse. This move was to ultimately lead to the club being taken over by a consortium later to be known as the Bridgford Group, following a meeting on 24 February 1997 with the shareholders voting by 189 votes in favour with 7 against.
On the field, the club was having perhaps its least memorable season ever. After the initial 3-0 win against Coventry on the opening match of the season, Forest didn't win again for 16 games. In the end Forest finished bottom of the League with just 6 wins and 34 points and 13 League goals. Frank Clark had departed after the Christmas period and Stuart Pearce operated as caretaker manager. At 6.00pm on May 11 1997 Dave Bassett, who had arrived at the club during February as the general manager, assumed control.
Stuart Pearce, Brian Roy, Jason Lee and Alf Inge Haaland left during the close season. In the opposite direction, the club welcomed Andy Johnson from Norwich, Alan Rogers from Tranmere, Geoff Thomas from Wolves, Thierry Bonalair from Neuchatel, Marco Pascolo from Cagliari and Dave Beasant from Southampton. Bobby Houghton joined Dave Bassett as his assistant manager.
The 1997-98 season was to be an outstanding one, kicking off with six consecutive competitive wins, which was the first time Forest had ever managed that feat during its 120 years in competitive football. With a rekindled Steve Stone, and Pierre van Hooijdonk now playing up front with Kevin Campbell, Forest set the First Division alight. Forest came out winners of Division One, and returned back to the Premier League.
Looking back, 135 years is certainly a long time. The 15 young men that met in the Clinton Arms in 1865 would never had dreamt that their offspring would have played for such great prizes in Munich, Madrid or Tokio. When they played their first semi-final of the FA Cup in 1879 they didn't even own ground. When they won the European Cup, they had won their own League only once. When they went to Bolton on 25 November 1978, they had not lost a game for a whole year. They won the European Cup undefeated. Nottingham Forest Football Club - surely the greatest football team in the world.
