Nottingham Forest are founded, one of the world's oldest football clubs.

Forest were playing football before Manchester United even existed; thirteen years before, to be precise.
A group of shinny players in Nottingham formed a football club that would become Nottingham Forest. They are among the oldest association football clubs in the world, predating Manchester United by 13 years. Forest played their early matches on the Forest Recreation Ground, the open parkland that gave the club its name.
