1865
1865: Nottingham Forest Football Club in the Coca Cola Championship
 

Beating Derby 3 – 1

Niall Kennedy has just released a new eBook (in PDF/Adobe Acrobat format) detailing the early history of the FA Cup. Including our 1898 3-1 victory of the sheep botherers.
We beat the Sheep three one!
As Niall says:

First published in 1902 in the auspicious Strand magazine, The Teams that Won the World’s Greatest Football Competition 1871 – 1901 is a classic reprint of one of the earliest historical reference materials of the early years of the FA Cup and gives Forest historians and supporters the opportunity to own a really important historical account of the world’s greatest football competition and the first time we lifted the trophy. A time when Forest could claim to be the best team in the World.
