Overview

The History Boys Part Two celebrates more iconic goals in the illustrious history of Nottingham Forest. Starting in 1880 with Sam Widdowson and ending with the remarkable 2024/25 season, it tells the stories behind the famous goals and some of the more unusual and overlooked efforts. All types of goals are here. Those remarkable strikes from distance that blew our minds. The ones shrouded in controversy. Some secured titles or promotions, others ensured survival. The late ones, the stunning solo efforts and the end products of carefully crafted team moves. Some scored by heroes, others by villains. Goals make us feel delight, despair and everything in between. This is the story of the goals that shaped the trajectory of Nottingham Forest across Victorian beginnings, between the wars, the glorious late 1970s, the giddy days of Frank Clark, the doldrums of the 2000s, right through to the meteoric resurrection of the last four years. Goals are the reason the game is played. Relive those memories.
