Nottingham Forest have traditionally been a small team in English league standards. This was so until the mid 1970's when the team were lying in the middle of Division 3 (now known as Division 2).
The team then excelled through the English league system under the influence of Brian_Clough, managing to win the league trophy in 1978. Nottingham Forest (affectionately known as just 'Forest') then went on to win the European Cup twice in succession and also the Super Cup which is held between the European champions and the South American champions.
In more recent years during the 1990's and early 2000's, they have been yo-yo'ing between the English Premier League and the 1st Division.
There was a scare in early 2002 that the club would be made bankrupt and non-existant. This was not helped by the collapse of a major sponsor by the name of ITV digital.
