My Club - Nottingham Forest 19 Apr 1996
i support Nottingham Forest Football Club
an activity for me to indulge
amidst the city's hub
now here's their history
a fairy-tale story
1865 it was formed
Forest Football Club it was called
'Forest' referred in the club name was Forest Racecourse or Recreation Ground
moved to present home in 1898 named City Ground
honours came few and far
2 FA Cup victories in 1898, 1959, coupled with 2nd division titles
in 1907, 1922 so far
1975 heralded of great achievements to come
indeed Brian Clough and Peter Taylor did come
under their partnership,
Forest finally won their first league Championship
it was in 1978
and gave all their sceptics a heartache
followed which winners of other titles come up ...
1978, 1979, 1989, 1990 Football League Cup
1977 Anglo-Scottish Cup
1989 Simod Cup
1992 Zenith Data Systems Cup
Forest's foray into foreign compeitions brought them fame
sending their local counterparts to shame
here are winners of those Cups ...
1962, 1968 Fairs Cup
1979, 1980 European Cup
1984, 1985 UEFA Cup
1980 Super Cup
all in all, Forest a good fighter
but i like to term them hunter
come hell or high water
Forest will fight water with fire
if need to be, fire with fire
Hail Forest !
eliminate your oppositions i dub them pest
co's you are simply the best !
now as the fairy-tale ends
my undying support for you never ends
Long Live Nottingham Forest !!!
