On January 6, 1975, Nottingham Forest were thirteenth in the old Second
Division, five points above the relegation places and straying
dangerously close to establishing a permanent place for themselves among
football's nowhere men.
Within five years Brian Clough had turned an unfashionable and depressed
club into the kings of Europe, beating everyone in their way and
knocking Liverpool off their perch long before Sir Alex Ferguson and
Manchester United had the same idea.
This is the story of the epic five-year journey that saw Forest complete
a real football miracle and Clough brilliantly restore his reputation
after his infamous 44-day spell at Leeds United. Forest won the First
Division championship, two League Cups and back-to-back European Cups
and they did it, incredibly, with five of the players Clough inherited
at a club that was trying to avoid relegation to the third tier of
English football.
I Believe In Miracles accompanies the critically-acclaimed documentary
and DVD of the same name. Based on exclusive interviews with virtually
every member of the Forest team, it covers the greatest period in
Clough's extraordinary life and brings together the stories of the
unlikely assortment of free transfers, bargain buys, rogues, misfits and
exceptionally gifted footballers who came together under the most
charismatic manager there has ever been.
