Nottingham Forest 1976-77 Retro Football Shirt

While overshadowed by what follewed in the immediate years following, the 1976/77 season was an important one for Nottingham Forest as the club made a succesful return to the top flight after half a decade away. The main catalysts behind their strong performance was the outstanding young full back VIv Anderson and the Scottisch playmaker John Robertson, succesfully reinvented by Forest's management team of Brain Clough and Peter Taylor.

Promotion was a close run thing however. Forest finished in the third and last of the promotion places, just a single point clear of both Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool - indeed Bolton could have taken than third spot had they won their final fixture at divisional champions Wolves. The game was lost however and the Forest squad learned of their promotion as their holiday- bound plane landed in Palma, Mallorca.

Forest's season in the Cup was less succesful with eliminations to Southampton in the FA Cup and Covertry City in the League Cup.
