Nottingham Forest (1979-80) Squads 🔴 Where Are They Now

Journey back to the City Ground to relive the pinnacle of the Miracle Men era with our tribute to the Nottingham Forest 1979-80 squad. Under the legendary, masterclass tactical guidance of Brian Clough, this iconic side shocked global football by successfully defending their crown to lift back-to-back European Cups. In this comprehensive THEN & NOW 2026 retrospective, we track the life paths of these immortal Nottingham Forest icons. From the world-class goalkeeping of Peter Shilton, the legendary captaincy of John McGovern, and the raiding runs of Viv Anderson to the midfield steel of Kenny Burns and the forward energy of Garry Birtles, see how these football legends look today. We also pay a solemn, deeply emotional and respectful tribute to the immortal Forest heroes who have passed away in the years since, including magical left-winger John Robertson, history-making striker Trevor Francis, towering defender Larry Lloyd, maverick midfielder Stan Bowles, and the great Brian Clough. This production provides fully verified 2026 status updates and current ages for all surviving members of this historic team.
