"Bob Paisley slammed the door of the dressing room - he said I can't even win the toss against this lot!"

When Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest beat European Champions Liverpool in the first round of the European Cup in 1978, even the Merseysiders' boss Paisley tipped Forest to win the trophy.

In this bonus edition of the Green Jumper, host Marcus Alton hears from Forest legends John Robertson, Colin Barrett, Tony Woodcock and Garry Birtles, who recall that momentous victory - and the story behind it.
