Like most things pre year 2000, it has largely been airbrushed out of history, but I have found proof it was real.

County, organised and inspired by the irrepressible Peter Reid, gained their first scalp in this particular derby since 1982, and deservedly. The winner came four minutes from the end, a minute after Forest had equalised.

Reid appeared to relish every second of it. County are paying him week by week as he waits for another management opportunity to come along, but he looked as committed to the cause as any of the impassioned young men around him. At 37, his legs may be registering a protest now but his enthusiasm is undimmed.
I'd actually forgotten Peter Reid played for us. If he HADN'T played against us in 1984 we might have doubled our major trophy haul, he was that good in the QF.

Yes, it's always good to see Charlie and an excellent choice to model the kits.

When he signed for us it was notable how much he spoke about his time at previous clubs. He was a player that really cared and that's the way it played out with us. As well as the commitment, he was actually really really good - never let us down, one of our best ever signings.
