 Brian Clough and Peter Taylor had worked their magic again. The irascible duo had taken the small East Midlands club Nottingham Forest from the old Second Division in 1976/77 to the English league title the following year, seven points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, and had also won the League Cup. Clough had joined Forest early in 1975, with Taylor joining eighteen months later, and had transformed the squad. Already at the club were attacking right-back Viv Anderson, who was soon to become England's first black international, the tubby left-winger John Robertson, and striker Tony Woodcock. Clough brought in his two lieutenants, the industrious midfielder and captain John McGovern and centre-forward John O'Hare. who had followed him on his travels from Derby to Leeds. English international goalkeeper Peter Shilton arrived from Stoke City, and two Scottish internationals - fiery central defender Kenny Burns and crafty, hardworking inside-forward Archie Gemmill -were also persuaded to the City Ground.

Finale

Wembley Stadium

As both League Cup and European Cup holders, Nottingham Forest had entered the match as clear favourites. Indeed, victory here would have given the club a hat trick of League Cup wins, and they would go on to retain the European Cup at the end of the season. By contrast, Wolves' last silverware had been their League Cup win six years earlier and they had finished a lowly 18th in the First Division in the previous campaign, whilst Forest had ended runners-up.

Living up to their tag of favourites, Nottingham Forest took the game to Wolves and created several opportunities, all denied by Bradshaw in the Wolves goal, as Francis shot across him and Gray's mazy run through was just halted. Birtles' driven attempt at a scrambled corner was also parried away by the keeper, while Wolves' attacks largely came to nothing.

Peter Shilton Born To Save

Peter Shilton could have appeared in the Great Players list for at least half a dozen clubs, such is the longevity of his career and the precocious nature of his early career at Leicester City. Even as a teenager Peter was insisting that he shouldn't be playing second fiddle to the great Gordon Banks. His positional sense and penalty-box awareness served Filbert Street well after Banks had gone to Stoke City.  Later, Peter followed Gordon to the Potteries, but by 1977 still hadn't been rewarded with any major honours. Brian Clough persuaded Shilton that this would all change at the City Ground, and that prediction proved to be amazingly accurate. Clough believed Shilton was worth at least 18 points a season and indeed it was Peter who would ensure at least a draw in many matches during that set of incredible unbeaten runs. His reliability and confidence inspired Larry Lloyd and Kenny Burns to provide the bedrock of success in those fantastic Forest years.

Quarts de Finale

Aller et Retour

 Le dernier quart de finale oppose Nottingham Forest à Grasshopper Zurich, et cet affrontement a ceci de plaisant, outre la qualité des deux équipes, que le club suisse a été fondé par un Anglais, EJ. Westermann, en 1886. Cet homme devait être d'ailleurs neuf ans plus tard, le père spirituel et le premier président de l'Association suisse de football. Cette ascendance britannique a fait de Grasshopper (la sauterelle, en français) un club où l'on ne mange pas avec ses doigts, ni ne se mouche dans sa manche. Le G.C., ainsi qu'on abrège en Suisse, a toujours été considéré comme «un club de huppés, de bourgeois dominés et dirigés par la crème zurichoise des industriels et des banquiers». Ses joueurs ont toujours témoigné d'une distinction et d'une opulence que leur enviaient, et que leur envient encore, tous les autres clubs suisses. Sur le plan du jeu, Grasshopper a toujours été fidèle à un style anglo-saxon dans lequel la vigueur athlétique, la passe en profondeur, le jeu aérien, le réalisme en somme correspondent bien aux goûts des spectateurs alémaniques. L'une de ses plus belles périodes (5 titres et 6 coupes de Suisse en dix ans) a été impulsée par Karl Rappan, le père du verrou. Le Grasshopper de Johanssen, un entraîneur allemand, est fondu dans ce moule de l'efficacité collective. Les puristes romands, et ses deux meilleurs joueurs, Sul-ser et Ponte, le lui reprochent parfois, au point que Johanssen, non dénué d'humour, a attrapé son numéro 10 dans un coin pour lui dire : « Je te propose un pacte. Tu me critiqueras une semaine, et moi je te critiquerai la semaine suivante. Ainsi, les journalistes auront toujours de quoi écrire».
