Nottingham Forest hero Frank Clark has lauded the "wonderful job" done by Steve Cooper to bring the club just 90 minutes away from the Premier League.
The Reds will take on Huddersfield Town at Wembley this Sunday for a shot at promotion in the Championship play-off final. While the Terriers were only in the top flight three years ago, Forest have not been there since 1999.
Clark, who won the European Cup as a player and gained promotion as a manager with the club, has been impressed by the way in which Cooper has lifted the team off the floor and has them within touching distance of the promised land. He says that the Welshman has infused "hope" back into the fanbase.
