Such simple football --- great team spirit, good players, ball to feet, no bigheads, great organisation, counter attack - but above all simple. Cloughie RIP.
I was a Forest fan at the game... unfortunately I was standing in the Stretford End! (I was a student at Manchester University, went with two United fans)... didn't celebrate till I got off the bus in Mansfield!! Great game, Forest were magic. Oh for those days again.
I went with my Irish uncle (rip) who was a man utd fan we used to pop in to see all our relatives in Manchester every Xmas in the seventies they lived in a tower block in Salford the flats were named after the players who perished in 1958 which was only 19 years before anyway my relatives stayed in Eddie Coleman flats wow memories
@@milesstyles7428 ha ha i split up from my uncle as we were going to the game as i was in the away end we had agreed to meet up at an old car.park it was packed full of cars but found it quiet easy my uncle had a 1973 blue dat sun he had gave a young kid 50 pence to mind the car i was feeling smug when we met up but never rubbed it in when i found out we were playing them on the 26 Dec since changed to 27 it made me think where do the years go 45 + 1 day since that memorable match all the best myles.
I always remember my dad (massive United fan who went to games his whole life) telling me that he already knew United were in trouble in the warm -up! :) He said the united players were strolling around, chatting and joking about and the Forest players were dead serious and sprinting and doing high speed passing drills. He said then the game started and it was no different and in all his years of watching United that was the most one-sided loss he ever saw at Old Trafford. That United side wasn't too bad but they were totally out classed that day.
Forest were a force to be reckoned with back then, i'm not a fan , I support Spurs, but some of their football in the late 70's was simply out of this world. Plus they had the best goalkeeper in the world.
I was in E block in the seats at the back of the Stretford End, how many people knew there were seats there back in the day. I recall that second goal well and was in the queue for the bus on Chester Road when the fourth went in.
I was there. In the Forest End. Never missed a trip to Old Trafford - an amazing ground and always an atmosphere to savour. I remember walking out of the ground and there was a van with a printing machine in the back and they were selling a small Sports Sheet - freshly done with all the days results on it. They must have made a mint.
Been a Forest Fan all my life now live in Perth W.A, i still say that this was the greatest performance of any Forest team ever. Loved that away kit, the glory years born in this year, god i miss those days.
I was ten played Clermont in the r and i little leauge got a certificate but well lost we are finnaly back in the premier league hope you are around to enjoy it.?tricky trees forever
Chelsea v Forest the following season (1978/79) was the first game I went to as a kid. Ended up 1-3 with Chelsea being completely outplayed by a Forest team who were runners up to Liverpool that season and went on to win the first of 2 European Cups. Went to the game with a Chelsea supporting family friend and his two kids who were gutted but I was quite happy being a Spurs fan.
Pretty sure this was Forest's Championship-winning season, late '77 I think. This was surely the game that convinced the likes of Liverpool that Forest were genuine, serious title contenders
Brian Clough & Peter Taylor made them the best team in Europe one of the best managerial team about Leeds Utd and there England failed manager Don Revie must have been sick again Cloughie got the ladt laff
Anyone else reminded of the 1-6 City game 34 year later ??Paddy Roche ... unfortunately Alex Stepney was at the end of his career ... and Gary Bailey was still 1 year away from discovery ... Sexton had a difficult time
the game played as it should be, ball to feet, on the ground, none of the long ball rubbish we see today, premier league could learn a lot from that, just a shame we can't perform like that today, FTID
Cloughie called this 'the pinnacle'. If this was the best game he'd ever had under us, this was our best game in our entire history. When we looked like we could win the league. And here we are - 33 years and 364 days later, struggling in the relegation zone in the second tier of English football. Where has it all gone wrong?
fantastic team n season for forest. utd prob on the piss. went to everton next game n beat them 6.2 they were unbeaten for 20 games. they prob pissed to
bloody freezing Mcr Saturday afternoon ..... week before Xmas .... that was the day we realised just how serious the Forest bid for the Title really was .....
yes you are a sorry shower of s---t sorry again i couldent resist your post is 10 years ago a lot of water under the bridge my first visit to base ball ground around xmas 1972 with my irish uncles to see derby beat man utd 3 1 well deserved i was 10 we travelled the 15 miles down the a 52 from Nottingham my 3 uncles all irish and all man utd fans i was forest saw the score board at match knew forest were playing villa away we drew 2 2 memories 😎😎😎
I'm a United fan who was at that game. It was probably the best performance I have seen at OT by an away team. We were lucky to get nil!!!

I was also there, I can remember seeing some trouble after the game, we were slightly out numbered 😂

Robbo and Archie Gemmill ripping Utd apart in their own backyard, and Woodcock adding the finishing touches. it doesn't get much better than this.
As a Manchester United fan i remember watching this at the time on television.Nottingham Forest outclassed us made us look foolish.
I always remember my dad (massive United fan who went to games his whole life) telling me that he already knew United were in trouble in the warm -up! :) He said the united players were strolling around, chatting and joking about and the Forest players were dead serious and sprinting and doing high speed passing drills.

and then became Liverpool´s 5x0
I remember watching this on Star Soccer one sunday afternoon as a kid. What a team, they'd still win the title today
United fan was in K Stand with my Dad, Great team Forest back then, we were lucky it was only 4.
Great team performance by Forest O'Neill and McGovern my 2 fav forest men , they were the unsung heroes
the team was the hero, a mosaic where every piece perfectly fitted
That's a Premiership winning team right there, pounding united good n proper!
was at this game as a united fan - best team ever seen Forest

well well, Shilton best goalkeeper in the world.....
Forest were a newly promoted side too fielding most of the previous years players plus Shilton ... couldn't see that happening today
Im a Derby fan..but Forest were bloody good that day.....
Whenever anyone starts a football comment with "Im a ......(biggest rivals fan)". You just know its bullshit.
@@joxford1951OK....Forest were bloody good that day...is that better you petty twat..?

Forest's 2nd goal was pure beauty

We got schooled that day all right. Forest were miles better than us. I went with a pal of mine and stood in the Stretford End Paddock.
I've seen the Gordons (Hill and McQueen) describing Dave Sexton's bizarre training 'methods' ... ... it all makes sense now.
I remember Bob Wilson saying "today the bubble will burst"
That yellow kit was always lucky at Old Trafford.

I was there as a United fan with a Forest fan and a Burnley fan. What a disaster.
I was there. Dreadful afternoon!
pure and utter class
I was there. What a game!
That's what called Man Utd getting a severve thrashing at Old Trafford.
Those were the days

Forest 1 MUFC 8 ..JUST JOKING NO HARD FEELINGS
