The 1982–83 season was Nottingham Forest's 118th year in existence and sixth consecutive season in the First Division.
Summary
In his eight season as manager Brian Clough started to rejuvenate the squad after the transfers out of goalkeeper Peter Shilton[1] central defender Dave Needham[2] and Scottish midfielder John McGovern signed with Bolton Wanderers.[3] Arrivals included forward Birtles from Manchester United, central defender Colin Todd, Dutch Goalkeeper Hans van Breukelen[4] and Kenny Swain from Aston Villa. In League the squad finished in 5th place, only 2 points less than runners-up Watford F.C., clinching a UEFA Cup spot for the next year. After six seasons, assistant Peter Taylor left the club and was appointed by Derby County as its new manager on November 1982.
