The state of that pitch, it's a miracle both teams managed to serve up a game of such quality. It was like treacle and must have sapped so much energy out of both teams. Great game though! Thanks for posting!
thank you for this video. Good old stuff from good old times. Tony wa still in Nottingham. After this top match for him he changed to cologne. . Top match of both teams....
An absolute pudding of a pitch, that. After Okudera’s equaliser, I think it was the Daily Mirror that ran with the headline “Forest sunk by Jap sub”. But Cloughie knew better. “We’ll only need one goal”. How right he was.
This is pretty much how it went from the mid70s to the mid80s- the English clubs more often than not beat the German clubs but struggled against the Italians. The Germans more often than not beat the Italians but struggled against the English clubs. The Italian clubs more often than not beat the English clubs but struggled against the Germans. The trophy winners were more of less determined by the luck of the draw- if the Germans put out the Italians for us, English teams generally won the cups, if the Italians put out the English for them, the Germans generally won it, if the English put out the Germans but the Italians were still in it, the Italians generally won it. 🤷
