Robbored Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Just watched the Netflix story of Notts Forrest rise from the second division to the then first Division under Brian Clough and Peter Taylor - followed by two consecutive European Cups. 1979 and 1980. Some great interviews with the players then and now. Well worth watching if you’d like a trip down memory Lane. Difficult to recognise the players after 41 years tho!

Funnily enough I was watching it last night. Before my time of course, and I had to google Larry Lloyd as I spotted his accent straight away!

Yep, the Clough/Taylor combination were incredible. To take a second division outfit to back to back European Cups was an epic achievement that will never be repeated. It was a trip down memory lane for me and those of my generation to see Clough in his pomp again. He was an incredibly fascinating man and his approach to the beautiful game was ‘keep it simple’ and it certainly worked for him. If he were still around I’d love to hear what he thinks of the modern game - I can’t imagine that he’d be too enamoured with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I think him and Taylor proved beyond reasonable doubt that football is a simple game when played correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, City are working towards it. And if you believe the hype, so are Rovers. I've seen another documentary and one of the then Forest players reckons they could have gone on, but for some reason the team was split up after the 1980 success.

M.D Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 There is a comparison here, Clough and Taylor. Both good in their own right but together an unstoppable force. Pearson and Shakespeare, without each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
