40 years ago,Nottingham Forest retained the European Cup..I had forgotten some of the issues of injury surrounding the game.
Clough & Taylor at their idiosyncratic best..What days.

When Nottingham Forest retained the European Cup 40 years ago

Brian Clough’s team went to Madrid in 1980 without their record signing. They returned as two-time European champions

The 1970s...Some great performances from English(& Scottish) Clubs in Europe.
In 1971/72 the new UEFA Cup was branded which replaced the Inter Cities Fairs Cup.
Wolves & Spurs reached the Final of the first tournament under that name.
The final was over 2 legs,with Spurs winning on aggregate.

Lucky it wasn't certain other Leeds players rather than Lorimer!

The ref's "drop ball" was more akin to a scrum half putting the ball into a scrum !

The win put Carlisle at the top of the 1st Division(after 3 games)
Easy to forget Carlisle had a season in the top flight.
A few 25,000 crowds at Brunton Park that season.

Just checked & that was the 1st game of the season.They won the first 3 & were top of the table.
Average of 14,529 at Carlisle that season.
For a small club without the kudos of the other teams in the 1st Division they were not disgraced in the top flight & were only relegated with 2 games left.
They picked up 29 points(equivalent to 41 points on 3 for a win,though it was a 42 game season back then)

Their attendances were boosted by a fair number of Jocks coming south over the border in order to see the big English Clubs playing there.
