I just can’t believe it’s been 23 years since we’ve played them, I mean 23 years ? Can’t honestly get my head round that, the games for a spectacle were superb, two great sides built by two great managers, a lot of people didn’t like Clough, still don’t even though he’s frog up, but I did, he just told it as it was and that’s the way things should be, no airs or graces, if he didn’t like you, he’d tell you straight,
He was a one off Clough, he riled ppl, because they didn’t like his demeanour, but him and Peter Taylor built that Forest side from nothing to become European cup winners..twice..and back in the days where it was straight knockout, that was some feat, the biggest losers were Leeds, under Revie they were a great side too, but they had a close shop mentality and wouldn’t accept changes Clough was making, I think he lasted 27days something like that…. Anyhoo….
That 5-0 was probably one of our best ever performances, against a very good side, looking forward to tonight it’s a cup tie so anything can happen.
23 years ffs !!
