I travelled back to the late 1970s to watch Nottingham Forest play and this is what I saw

The 1970s ended in style for Nottingham Forest.

Forest defeated Liverpool in the 1978 League Cup final in a replay after the original tie had finished 0-0 in front of 100,000 fans at Wembley.

They then went on to wrap up the First Division title after finishing seven points above Liverpool

It got even better a year later when the club famously swept Europe away to win the European Cup.

They also bagged the League Cup and Charity Shield before finishing second in the First Division in a season to remember.

Here we take a look back on that golden era and remember those magic moments that are a must see for any Forest fan.
