Born in Nottingham and raised in Clifton, life-long Forest fan Steve Parker’s latest book is about the story of the Reds over the last three seasons. As the club currently flies high in the Premiership, it’s hard to recall that in 2021 they propped up the Championship league!
Parker takes us through the pain on the pitch until Steve Cooper arrived and – remarkably – returned Forest to the top league. Then came survival, player signings galore, a managerial sacking and new hope in Nuno Espirito Santo. Still, with a points deduction, the Reds came perilously close to relegation in 2024.
In ‘Football Land’, unfolding dramas at the City Ground are flavoured with the author’s recollections of highs and lows at Forest, from boyhood to the present.
