[@mickcoles]

Wow, I was in bits Well done everyone, for making that a special day and making Nottingham very proud

[@samwiddowson9280]

Proud of my club. Shoutout to the fan group 'forza garibaldi', who have revitalised the club after some dark years for putting together stuff like this. Would never get this at a tourist club. Proper city, proper club #nffc

I am a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy (23 years serving Queen and country). That Remembrance Day tifo was absolutely amazing. Thank you as you had me tearing up with the tifo unfurled and the Last Post playing. We will always remember them.

[@anthonymitchell8893]

Go o ne r .you obviously known your new player from forest Sam windows on asked forest for shirts for his new club I think that's why they wear read please spread this information to your overseas fan base they probably wouldn't know thank you ?

[@fatladfromsheffield9829]

They should add this on fifa though they don’t have city ground

[@zachbladen]

[@WillC3266]

Spectre playz ye but it’s just a generic

[@sineadking8188]

Spectre playz it isn’t called the city ground

[@DaveWraptastic]

Dutch football club NAC Breda had something similar recently. They celebrated the city of Breda being liberated by Polish soldiers in WW2, an often forgotten part of the liberation forces. They revealed a banner that said 'Thank you" in Polish with names and pictures of the division that liberated Breda and the kickoff was done by a grandson of 1 of the commanders. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXTFh3SAfbhqjNE

Not many Football Clubs do it like Nottingham Forest.

[@bigblueminamiku3679]

As a lifelong Forest fan and as someone who served his country for 9 years I'm very happy and proud to see this. Many thanks to the creators and everyone involved. I'm also proud to see the fine tradition of professionalism and dedication being served so well by the younger generation in uniform. I'm proud of them all, whoever they support, which is why I'll never understand the pettiness of a down vote on a video like this. Save the banter for the terraces on any other day and remember the fallen today, whoever they played for or supported.

[@josephrichards1396]

[@PRHWoolly80]

Was brilliant to see this unveiled at City Ground last weekend. This video just shows how much time and effort goes in to all Tifos. Thought this and our Rebel City display earlier on this year were our coming of age, on a par with those brilliant European ones we all admire

[@bossman_bingerz8144]

Absolutely fantastic idea and display! Well done, lets have more with ex players and teams etc.

[@aidenwarrington]

Lovely stuff from Nottingham Forest for putting this tifo up from their proud heritage, as well as doing it very well. Nottingham Forest is a thing of beauty. It's a shame to see that Nottingham Forest have not been in the top division for such a long time. We need them in the Premier League to show true heart and legacy, instead of the greed of the big teams and struggle of the small teams.

[@philipschoen8828]

Lest we forget!

I'll be honest, it really annoys me when old folk say "awh its ridiculous that they dont teach this in schools!". They do? They teach us about the wars althroughout school, it's probably what we learned about most, bar english and maths. You wouldn't know, you havent been to school in 50 years

Show some respect. A typical Yorkshire mindset, suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. No doubt you’ll be voting for Corbyn at the election....another who has no respect for past sacrifices and supports our enemies.

How old are you, Will?

[@olliemackenzie4211]

@@scottbexon1975 You talk about past sacrifices. What about the miners who sacrificed their livelihoods to fight for the pits. For some towns the pit was all they had. Obviously Nottingham had more important things to care about. Since you betrayed the rest of the industry by licking Thatchers boots.
