Reliving Glory: A Legendary Night with Nottingham Forest’s 1989 & 1990 League Cup Heroes

What a night to remember at The Theatre Royal, Nottingham — a sell-out crowd of over 1,000 fans gathered for an unforgettable evening celebrating the legendary Nottingham Forest side that secured back-to-back League Cup triumphs in 1989 and 1990.

35 Years On — Still Unforgettable

More than three decades since those historic victories, the heroes of that iconic era reunited under one roof, and the atmosphere was electric from the moment the doors opened. Fans — young and old — poured into the theatre, relishing the rare opportunity to meet their idols face-to-face for photos and memories that will last a lifetime.

A Star-Studded Line-Up

The stage was graced by true Forest royalty: the club’s greatest-ever captain, Stuart Pearce, alongside fellow legends Des Walker, Franz Carr, Steve Sutton, Nigel Jemson, Neil Webb, and Steve Chettle. This was not just a celebration — it was a homecoming.

An Evening of Laughter, Passion, and Nostalgia

As the clock struck 8, the theatre erupted into a chorus of Mull of Kintyre, a stirring prelude that echoed through the auditorium. Then, the moment everyone had been waiting for — the legends took to the stage.

Host and MC Jed Stone kicked off part one with a series of expertly crafted questions, drawing out hilarious, heartfelt, and often surprising stories from the players. The laughter was loud, the applause even louder, as memories came flooding back and the chemistry between the former teammates lit up the room.

The Crowd Takes the Mic

In part two, the audience took center stage with a Q&A session that showcased the passion and knowledge of Forest’s faithful. The legends didn’t hold back, offering candid insights, emotional reflections, and plenty more moments of humour that kept the crowd hanging on every word.

A Standing Ovation for the Ages
