The these sides have a special connection, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the the English club.
