What a side forest were under clough when they won the European Cup back to back
Mostly a side of journeymen
Football was great back then
Now its all about tv and diving and money
I hate the champions league just as I hate the Premier league
Ajax would be above some of those, surely.
Top 9 are indeed easy.
The question should be who is the 10th team in a list of top European teams.
For me and my early memories it’d probably be
10. Anderlecht
11. St.Etienne
12. Borussia Mönchengladbach
Honourable mentions to Aberdeen and Dundee United. When in the dim and distant past Scottish clubs could challenge Europe and either win it or get cheated out of a competition by snidey Roma.

There's no right answer of course !
Celtic have to be up there
What they did with the team they had was amazing. A better story than Forest for me. Doesn't put them up with the European greats though.
Won one, lost one, and haven't even won the UEFA Cup or the Cup Winner's Cup
They had a massive purple patch. You can’t say they’re legendary compared to Benefica, only their unexpected wins in the CL
Totally agree with you. Even the most knowledgeable foreign football supporter would be hard-pressed to name Forest as a former European Cup winner let alone have them as one of Europe's top teams. What they achieved under Clough was incredible but fleeting.
