Nottingham Forest are a club steeped in history and over the years there have been some serious moments to cherish.
The obvious domination of Europe during the late seventies and early eighties naturally take the limelight in the eyes of most supporters.
The late eighties and early nineties weren’t to be sniffed at either though. Forest achieved some success in the cup competitions and boasted a pretty decent team.
A particular goal from a memorable game with West Ham is doing the rounds on social media, allowing some Forest fans to stroll along memory lane.
Stuart Pearce was the man known for his free-kicks during the 1988/89 campaign but during a 3-3 draw with the Hammers at Upton Park, Nigel Clough stepped into the set-piece limelight.
He stepped up and stroked an unstoppable effort beyond the outstretched palm of Alan Knight in the Hammers goal.
Clough scored twice during the game, with Steve Hodge netting Forest’s other goal.
Former Reds assistant boss David Kelly scored twice for the hosts, with Leroy Rosenior netted a stunning diving header to earn West Ham a point.

Forest finished third in the old Division One that season. Arsenal and Liverpool finished first and second with the Gunners winning the title at Anfield on the final day of the campaign.
Clough’s goal is a thing of beauty and following the 31st anniversary of the strike, Forest supporters have been reacting on Twitter.
Here is a selection of comments from the club’s fans regarding Clough’s memorable goal:
