John Motson informs us here that ‘Match of the Day’ is taking its first look of the season at the European champions - and he means Nottingham Forest, not Liverpool.
It’s a trip to the City Ground to see Brian Clough’s men still basking in the glow of that win over Malmo just four months earlier, though the goalscorer that night, Trevor Francis, is still busy playing in the NASL and hasn’t returned to his City Ground duties.
Within the game itself, we take the season’s first trip to Kenny Burns corner, and marvel at the days before health and safety, when fans were allowed to sit inside a stand that was still only half constructed and with a load of scaffolding teetering precariously above them.
Steven Scragg and Dave Bowler don their hard hats and high-vis jackets to take in the game.
