N'ham Forest v Cologne 1979 (Part One) 

Was für ein hammermatch , was für eine FC Truppe, danach dachten wir alle jetzt fahren wir nach München und holen uns den verdienten Pott, ein 0:0 in Köln hätte gereicht,aber leider unglücklich( Müller und Flohe waren angeschlagen)und unverdient 0:1 verloren , so nah dran, ich kann es heute noch nicht glauben, mighty cologne

Wow, thanks for posting this. I can't believe it!! I've got a long story to do with this game, so you'll have to invest a min. or two if you read this. I spent a few years overseas, in New Delhi, as a schoolboy, due to my fathers work. As a swiss, a german speaking swiss (with a english mum, though) i went to the german school. And there it happend: I was twelve and fell in love! Her name was Nadja. She was eleven. Love consisted of playing hide and seek, holding hands and writing notes in class. But, alas, it could not last. Her parents were posted back to Germany, and i was heart broken. Soon after that my family also left India, back to Switzerland. But i had not forgotten my love, Nadja, from Cologne. When we got back to Switz in 1979 i was delighted to see that there was football on telly every now and again, as i loved football. So when i turned on the TV and FC Köln was playing, all my love and libido flew towards FC Köln. (At the age of thirteen, that is possible, it seems; Libido is not very phisical yet, anyway, that's how i explain this whole stroy to myself..). So, it was this game: It was thrilling, Köln 2-0 up, then 3-2 down and then the 3 all by Okudera. I will never forget that wednesday evening, alone infront af TV, in our cellar TV room. So, Köln became Nadja or something like that. I fell in love with Köln! And, as any real football fan knows: Love for a girl or a woman might pass, but your love for a club will stay for life. So, i became a FC fan, loving the players (Littbarski, Müller, Woodcock (yeah, he was never as good for us as for Forest), young Schuster, Schumacher, later Hässler, Polster, Prinz Poldi up to Stöger and his men today. I go to Köln at least once a year. I have suffered, plenty in these 35 or so years, but as any real fan knows, you don't have a choice, do you? Nadja? never seen her again, we had a School reunion a few years back, but she wasn't there. Does my wife know this story? Of course she does: I was thirteen.... So, you guys out there, keep on loving, who or what ever it is you love! rgds, N

This match made me love both Forest and Koln!

Kids.. legends Shilton vs Schumacher.. as good as it gets

Glory days for both team ar over.but peopel still talk about them.best wishes to both teams.

sehr sehr schön... danke für die erinnerung

First time I've seen this game and I have to say, Cologne were awesome. Clough worked a miracle to beat them! I wonder how Cologne are doing now? I hope they haven't fallen like Forest:-)

FC & FOREST!!!!

I was at this game, Trent End. Brilliant game ,lousy pitch.

Great!!! cerberusofcologne

what a pitch..other age...

@heliumtrophy I think they wouldn't even enter the pitch. This game is equivalent of a Champions League semi final today!

Van Gooool geiler Name.. FCFCFC

@tine214 They'd also complain about the state of the pitch as well

where is part two, please? ;-) cerberusofcologne

The commentator, did he mean to say and it trickles into the "nest". Nest?. And he also keeps saying "ping". Despite this, it was a great game and Nottingham Forest with their best team.

I am a fan of Cologne but the shot at 4:17 should have been a goal.

NFFC till I die but Christ on a bike, what a terrible pitch! I hope they sacked the groundsman!

@1918448 Oh I dunno... 1FCK beat still Bayern occasionally. :-)

@wembley05 Almost as bad as Derby's ha ha. Clough liked to play passing football, so why did he put up with this?
