‘When you come to the training ground, the first person you see is Brian Clough. And rightly so. It is something we want to embrace and not be fearful of.’ Now aged 24, Yates has been one of Forest’s key men this season. ‘His legacy and memory and history won’t just be with us on Sunday — it’s here every day,’ said Cooper on the eve of the biggest day in the club’s recent history. Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says his side will take the memory of manager Brian Clough with them to Wembley as they look to secure their long-awaited return to the Premier League.

At Wembley on Sunday Nottingham Forest's starting XI for the Championship playoff final against Huddersfield will almost certainly include four players they ...

The head of recruitment, George Syrianos, has successfully implemented a data-driven transfer model at the City Ground to find the best fits in positions that need upgrading rather than signing on reputation. A further sign that Forest have been smart in the loan market can be seen when measuring their success against last season’s loanees. Bringing in five players on loan a season is not part of the long-term strategy at Forest. They do not want to rely on loanees because the club would prefer to sign younger players within a strict wage structure who have potential resale value. Part of the reason behind bringing in loanees was a lack of transfer budget. There is little point in signing players on loan who are not good enough to start, something appreciated at Forest. As much research is put into those arriving for a season or six months as into permanent signings. Max Lowe, borrowed from Sheffield United, has not featured since March because of a groin problem but before that he was the perfect fit at left wing-back in Steve Cooper’s system.

The midfielder can help the Reds end a 23-year exile from the top flight by beating Huddersfield in Sunday's Sky Bet Championship play-off.

Our job is to go and win the game.” Personally I try not to think about it too much,” he said. Times have changed a lot, so we are looking forward to creating our own history now.

ONE match, winner takes all. The prize? A spot in the Premier League..oh, and £170million.The Championship play-off final is often dubbed "the riches.

A spot in the Premier League.. oh, and £170million. The prize? But while Huddersfield have racked up the points in the Championship, Forest enjoyed a better domestic cup season. The Terriers played in the Premier League as recently as the 2019-20 season and have featured in SIX play-off finals - most recently in the 2016-17 season when they snuck past Reading on penalties to reach the top-flight for the first time in their history. The Midlands giants - who won the European Cup as recently as 1980 - have NEVER played in a play-off final. Huddersfield and Nottingham Forest do battle in ‘richest game in football’ with £170m and Premier League on the line

Nottingham Forest are an iconic English football club with a record in European competition to rival the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Forest are undoubtedly helped by being based in a city with a population of more than 330,000. Founded in 1862, County are recognised as the world's oldest football league club. Clough joined Forest as a Jose Mourinho-style brash young manager in 1975 and transformed the club who had been 13th in the second tier at the time. Trevor Francis scored the only goal in Munich to seal victory over Malmo. Forest's reward was a place in the playoffs, where they earned a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Sheffield United to reach the final at Wembley. When he was interviewed during the final season of his reign, Clough insisted: "There's only one way to play football – that's on grass. Clough's indelible influence and ideas about how the game should be played live on in Forest fans' preferred playing style. It would be the last season when Forest would feature in European competition. Six years after becoming league members, Forest won the FA Cup for the first time by beating Derby County in front of 62,000 supporters at Crystal Palace, enjoying an underdog 3-1 victory over opponents who had thrashed them 5-0 less than a week earlier. John Robertson is widely considered to have been Forest's greatest ever player. Until they moved to their beloved City Ground home in 1898, Nottingham Forest Football Club played at a variety of stadiums including Trent Bridge, now better known as a cricket ground. Worse was to follow.
