A gloriously-sunny September afternoon was where it all really started. Against, coincidentally enough, Huddersfield Town.
That was when Nottingham Forest’s shackles came off. When the now legendary hi-vis kit got its first outing. And when the revival began.
From then onwards, the Reds were on a near-constant upward trajectory. It was somewhat fitting that taking on the Terriers again brought it all to an end.
