The Nottingham Forest will return to premier league after 23 years of absence. The winner of the European Cup in 1979 and 1980 achieved promotion to the highest category of English football this Sunday by defeat. Huddersfield ng Carlos Corberan in the final of the ‘playoffs’. He hasn’t been seen here since the 1998/99 season and it’s worth revisiting to analyze what the squad was, which was inevitable relegation to result in this long journey into the desert.
From the beginning, one name draws attention here: Pierre Johannes van Hooijdonk. Globetrotting striker where they wore shirts as in Celtic scottish, the benfica Portuguese and the Feyenoord The Dutch, among others, from 1996 to 1999 defended the colors of Nottingham Forest. But in that 1998/99 season, he failed to score more than 6 goals, and his low productivity was one of the reasons his team didn’t save the category.
That top scorer (so far) last year in the Premier of Nottingham Forest it is scottish dougie freedmanwho scored 9 goals, was also not enough in the fight to avoid relegation.
On the other hand, in that squad there are also mythical players like the then 39 -year -old goalkeeper. Dave Beasant or the midfielder Steve Stone.
Looking forward to the next academic year, it remains to be seen whether the miracle-technical Steve Cooper conducts a revolution or maintains the block of the current group which football players like Brennan Johnson, Ryan Yachts either Scott Mckenna.
