Nottingham Forest's European Cup-winning sides of 1979 and 1980 will be coming together for the first time to celebrate the success of the documentary 'I Believe in Miracles'.

For the first time since the team's triumphant victory over Malmo in the European Cup Final in 1979, 17 former Forest players will be live on stage together recounting stories of their days at the City Ground under the leadership of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.
