ON THIS DAY - December 15

We won the Anglo-Scottish cup
On Dec 15 1976 we won out first hardware under Brian Clough. The Anglo-Scottish Cup came to the City Ground after we beat Leyton Orient in a replayed final. The first game ended 1-1, so a replay was necessary. Goals from Sammy Chapman, Ian Bowyer and a brace from Colin Barrett were enough to give us the first of many Clough trophies.
