1984–85 Nottingham Forest F.C. season

Swain was replaced by Scottish left back defender Jim McInally who delivered an outstanding performance during the season.[3] Meanwhile, Clough transferred out Ian Wallace after a disappointing 1983–84 season, but Trevor Christie, his replacement was a flop, and left the club during Winter due to injuries.Birtles and Riley collapsed the offensive line, meaning Peter Davenport was the only striker with a decent outcome including 17 goals scored.Megson spent five months at the City Ground, without making a single first-team appearance before being sold to Newcastle United.Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply.
