In The Beginning - Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest isn’t just a football club – it’s a living legend rooted deep in the heart of English football history. In this episode, we trace the club’s extraordinary journey from its founding in 1865 to its modern revival under Nuno Espírito Santo. Discover how a group of shinty players in a Nottingham pub launched one of the world’s most storied football clubs, how Brian Clough led them to back-to-back European triumphs, and how the club has reclaimed its place in the Premier League spotlight. Along the way, we explore local lore, legendary players, football’s Victorian origins, and why Forest fans will always chant “Brian Clough’s red and white army!” louder than anyone else.This is more than just football – it’s the tale of the Tricky Trees, where folklore meets fierce loyalty, and history breathes through the terraces of the City Ground. Based on the book, The Complete Guide To The English Premier League, written by Ross Carlisle and Joe Andrich.
