smileys/smiley36.gifTHE LATEST DASHING OF NOTTINGHAM FOREST'S HOPES
"It's not the best record to lay claim to, but is it true that if Nottingham Forest won the LDV Trophy they'd be the first team to win every domestic trophy?" enquires Steve McLay.
"In a word, no," argues Andy Wright. "Wolves completed the set when they won the (then) Sherpa Van Trophy in 1988. smileys/smiley32.gif
Apart from four FA Cups (1893, 1908, 1949, 1960), three first division championships (1953-54, 1957-58, 1958-59) and two League Cups (1974, 1980), the Wolves set also includes the Charity Shield (beating Forest in 1959), the FA Youth Cup (1958) and the Anglo-Scottish Cup (1971). Having also won the second division (1931-32, 1976-77), the third division (1988-89), the third division, north (1923-24) and the fourth division (1987-88), it looks like there's just the new-fangled Championship left." At least you've got your European glories, Forest fans.
