The Mist from the Trent How 'Mull of Kintyre' Became Nottingham Forest's Unlikely War Cry
Description
This episode uncovers the unique and beautiful story behind Nottingham Forest's pre-match anthem, Paul McCartney's wistful Scottish ballad, "Mull of Kintyre." We trace the song's journey from a cultural hit to its permanent home on the banks of the River Trent, where fans ingeniously adapted the lyrics to celebrate their miracle run under the legendary Brian Clough. We look at how this bagpipe-driven tune became the sacred soundtrack to Forest's back-to-back European Cup victories, and how it transformed into an unwavering promise of identity during years of adversity. Discover why this Scottish folk song is a living heirloom, connecting Forest's golden age legends—like Viv Anderson and John Robertson—to the current generation of fans.
