Nottingham Forest, a historic Premier League club based in West Bridgford, was founded in 1865 by a group of shinty players who adopted the iconic "Garibaldi Red" colours, and has played at the City Ground since 1898. Their most legendary era came under the management of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, who led the club to back-to-back European Cup titles in 1979 and 1980—a feat making them one of only six English clubs to win the competition. Interestingly, Forest hold the unique European record of winning that trophy more often than their domestic league championship (won once), while also claiming two FA Cups, four League Cups, and a UEFA Super Cup. Beyond their on-pitch success, they contributed to football's growth by donating kits to help establish clubs like Arsenal and Everton, and they claim to be the oldest remaining club in the English Football League. After several relegations, Forest returned to the Premier League by winning the play-offs in 2022, and they maintain a fierce rivalry with Derby County in the East Midlands derby, contested for the Brian Clough Trophy since 2007.
