Still some way to go to beat their neighbour&#x27;s story though:<p>Nottingham Forest won promotion to the top division at the end of the 1976–77 season after finishing third in the Second Division, but no-one could have predicted how successful Clough&#x27;s team would be over the next three seasons.<p>Nottingham Forest became one of the few teams (and the most recent team to date) to win the English First Division Championship a year after winning promotion from the English Second Division (1977–78 season).<p>In 1978–79, Forest went on to win the European Cup by beating Malmö 1–0 in Munich&#x27;s Olympiastadion and retained the trophy in 1979–80, beating Hamburg 1–0 in Madrid<p>They also won the European Super Cup and two League Cups.
