Wagner Forest Management
From humble beginnings as a bandy club, Nottingham Forest rose to become one of the world’s greatest football teams under Brian Clough’s management. Since then, the team have been in decline, but now under a new manager – Billy Davies – they are showing signs that they may be on the rise once more.
This article traces their history from being founded in 1865 as Nottingham Forest Football & Bandy Club, through the Brian Clough era, to the present day where they sit in the Championship battling for a return to the top flight.
The Birth of Nottingham Forest
Bandy is an early version of ice hockey, and in 1865 a group of bandy players decided to form a football club and called themselves Nottingham Forest Football & Bandy Club. They played at the Forest Racecourse, hence the name. Their first game was against Notts County, formed four years earlier. Forest soon dropped “Bandy” from the title and concentrated on football. After playing early games in the Football Alliance, which they won in 1892, they joined the Football League the same year.
