On this day 29/12 in 2010, Marcus Tudgay & Robert Earnshaw both scored twice as Nottingham Forest thrashed Derby 5-2.

Cue the classic Colin Fray comment..................."Forest hit 5 against Derby!"

10 years, bloody hell.

One of my favourite ever nights at the CG. Bank holiday evening, everyone a few beers to the good, mist rolling in, terrific atmosphere, smashing the Sheep.
As well as the 5 goals we had a feeling we were going somewhere that season under BD, we had just started to put a run together and I think it was the last season I felt truly optimistic. Remember walking out of the Trent End that night and just looking at peoples faces, literally everyone singing, laughing and grinning from ear to ear, it was just brilliant.

We can but dream...

Was Billy Davies in the stand for the Man City game? If so then surely those two events happened the same year?

[ThePromisedLand]

Yep.
We beat City in 2009.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Yep the FA Cup game vs Man City was Jan 2009, John Pemberton as caretaker takes the credit with wee William in the stands.
Davies won his first 3 games, then lost 7 out of the next 11 to leave us in big danger of the drop. He ground out some results from the last 6 games to finish in a comfortable 19th place which I would happily take this season too.

5/1 in 2014. Seven years since Forest dumped West Ham out of the FA Cup with a 5-0 win at The City Ground.

Jamie Patterson hattrick, Abdoun’s Panenka pen which none of his team celebrated with him and the West Ham kid crying on tv.

On this day 6/1 in 1975, Nottingham Forest announced Brian Clough as their new manager.

The rest, as they say, is history.
