Nottingham Forest FC must be one of the only football clubs founded by shinty players. The club was founded in 1865. Forest joined the Football Alliance in 1888 and won the competition in 1892. The sides’ first taste of glory came in 1898 when they won the FA Cup against Derby, 3:1. Our Nottingham Forest gift book opens with two impressive victories, a 5:1 win over Liverpool and a comprehensive thrashing of Leicester 12:0. This evocative Nottingham Forest football gift reports the 3:1 score line that won the ‘Reds’ promotion to Division One. The 1930s brings three reports including a satisfying 3:0 victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup 4th Round replay. Interesting snapshots of a club’s early days before it hit the big time is a splendid addition to any fan’s Nottingham Forest memorabilia collection.

1959 and Forest win the FA Cup.

The 1960s and the ‘Reds’ reach the FA Cup quarter-final and on 15th May 1967 are runners up in Division One when they defeat Fulham 3:2 in their final game of the season.

7th January 1975 is when Brian Clough becomes Forest manager. Read about his signings and successes in reports that take in the recruitment of John McGovern, Peter Shilton, and Archie Gemmill. 1978 is the year of Clough’s first major trophy for Forest when they win the League Cup in a replay, 1:0 against Liverpool. They go on to become League Champions that year and runners up the following season.

1978 also sees a thrilling European Cup run. 1979 sees Trevor Francis join the club as the first £1 million player and it pays off as he scores the winner against Malmo in the final.

Into the 80s and the club earns more success in the form of winning the Littlewoods Cup beating Luton Town 3:1 in the final. 1990 and the feat is repeated this time beating Oldham 1:0 in the final.

This Nottingham Forest football gift idea gives four pages of coverage to Brian Clough’s resignation in 1993.

More recent stories bring the history and the glory of this club to life including the 2008 promotion to the Championship after a 3:2 victory over Yeovil. A must have piece of Nottingham Forest memorabilia for the die-hard fan.
