Brian Clough’s legacy will carry on at Nottingham Forest, and Jamie Carragher has recently made a significant claim regarding his side.
Nottingham Forest have exceeded expectations in their first seven Premier League games, with only one loss and a spot in the top half of the league.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s tactics haven’t been faultless, but his superb defensive performance at Stamford Bridge demonstrated that.
Jamie Carragher has already complimented the additions of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga, who have both played important roles this season.
Forest has come up in conversations about Carragher once more, since he has made a strong case for Brian Clough’s European Cup-winning teams this time around.
Jamie Carragher makes an admission about Nigel Clough’s Nottingham Forest team.
Jamie Carragher is one of English football’s most well-known pundits, but he rarely mentions Nottingham Forest.
Interestingly, in a video broadcast by The Overlap on X, Jamie Carragher mentions Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest team while discussing the greatest performance in British football.
Gary Neville inquired.
“Is the triple (for Manchester United) the greatest achievement in British football, or not? “The 99 one.”
Carragher responded.
“You’re talking about British football; for example, look at what Nottingham Forest did. They rose through the ranks, won the league, and went on to win two European Cups consecutively.
“When you think about that, that is like mad.”
Nottingham Forest’s glory days under Brian Clough
Between 1977 and 1979, the Reds rose from the second tier to become First Division champions, and then won Europe.
Clough also won four League Cups, the European Super Cup, and the Charity Shield.
Evangelos Marinakis recently recognized Clough’s effect. He will be remembered for the great things he achieved for this club.
Interestingly, Roy Keane, who was there when Carragher made this assertion, was given accommodation by Brian Clough when he joined Nottingham Forest.
