Oops!  

Ron Atkinson accidentally ends up in the wrong dugout before his first game in charge of Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

I remember that incident, it was hilarious  :)

Unfortunately it's the only thing that Big Ron will be remembered for during his time with us.

Hans van Breukelen, Nottingham Forest 1982 - 1984, a great goalkeeper who won 73 caps for Holland.

^ Excellent goalkeeper and we haven't had one anywhere near as good since.

Brian Clough with Nottingham Forest captain Kenny Burns after winning the 1978 League Cup against Liverpool in the replay at Old Trafford, following a 0-0 draw at Wembley.

[Camms]

^ That was the first major trophy of many.

Who would have imagined what followed?

That League Cup Final win over Liverpool was the first time that I ever saw grown men crying at a football match. Forest fans at the joy of winning.

This is a rare photo of Asa Hartford who played just 3 games for Forest in 1979.

Brian Clought signed him from Manchester City to replace Archie Gemmill but sadly it didn't work out.
