Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich Town History

By some distance, the most successful period of Nottingham Forest’s extensive history came in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their legendary boss, Brian Clough, guided the club to a First Division title (the top level of English football before the Premier League rebrand) and then led them to astonishing back-to-back European Cup triumphs. These are highs they have not come close to replicating since.

If Brian Clough was Forest’s nadir in terms of managerial reigns, then Sir Bobby Robson was likewise for Ipswich Town. The England national team boss spent 13 years in charge at Portman Road before taking over as head coach of the Three Lions, and during this period, he helped the Suffolk club to two runners-up finishes in the First Division as well as an FA Cup triumph and a famous UEFA Cup success in 1981.

Forest have regularly ran out winners when facing Ipswich Town at the City Ground over the years. In 1994/95, the season that the Tractor Boys were relegated from the top flight, goals from Stan Collymore, Stuart Pearce, Scot Gemmill and Alf-Inge Haaland were enough to see them to a 4-1 win, with Claus Thomsen netting the consolation for the visitors.

Talented midfielder Chris Bart-Williams also plied his trade with both teams, playing 245 games for Nottingham Forest between 1995 and 2002 before seeing out his career with a season at Ipswich Town. The former Leyton Orient man sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of just 49.
