I believe in miracles 10:49 - Dec 19 with 4058 views

Just watched this on netflix its a documentary about Nottingham Forest's rise under Brian Clough and Peter Taylor from mid table in Div 2 to First division champions and the European champions twice in a row.
Its the best football programme ive seen and features interviews with all the players involved looking back on it years later and footage of the games.There is a great soundtrack and its wonderfully produced.You get the feeling that the guys that made it are real football fans and not just journalists.
Also its a bit sad because football has changed so much and this could never happen again but its always fascinating.Anyway i loved it hope you did or will too.

Yes that is a good one, I don't recall Dave Needham being interviewed on the programme but there are quite a few clips of the ball fizzing past the hoops defence

Well worth a watch

Controversial opinion, Clough was nothing special without Peter Taylor and vice versa.

Perfect partnership, doubt their achievements will ever be bettered from that starting point.

Dave Needham was interviewed,he had a couple of clips.But as you say they did show two or three goals against us.

Read the Kindle book that accompanied the film a few months ago and finally got round to watching the film today. Absolutely brilliant.

That three year spell of 2nd division promotion->1st division champions-> successive European Champions Cup winners plus winning a couple of League Cups into the bargain in that period was just unreal.

2nd division football to European champions in three seasons is the greatest achievement in English football ever. Leicester winning the Premier League doesn't even come close.

I liked the Forest one as well. Also was cheered to see they scraped out of division 2 - and then won the league and two European cups with basically an overload on the left - cant think of a team that do that now can you?

I watched it the other night and I loved it. “We’ve got a little fat fellah on the wing who will run rings round ‘im”. Bless him. Bloody great when they kept beating Liverpool. Shame Woodcock appears to have lost his German accent with time, although he does still look like a German porn star (according to a friend).

Interesting little snippet was when an interviewer asked Cloughie if he was going to bring back the 10,000 Forest that switched to Derby when he was there.

However, (sorry Mr Disco), the music was just too obtrusive. By all means play it between segments or maybe even during some of the match action, but it was almost constant and it’s particularly annoying when it’s even on in the background of an interview. The Four Year Plan was the same.

Ah. When football wasn’t sh-t.
