The 1984–85 season was Nottingham Forest's 120th year in existence and 8th consecutive season in the First Division. Also the club competed in the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup.

Summary

In his tenth season as manager Brian Clough after several disagreements the last season with Hans van Breukelen transferred in Dutch Goalkeeper Hans Segers from PSV Eindhoven. Also starter Right back Defender Viv Anderson left the club after nine seasons being transferred out to Arsenal for £250,000, his spot for this campaign was covered by Kenny Swain who already was playing as a left back during the last two seasons. Swain was replaced by Scottish left back defender Jim McInally who delivered an outstanding performance during the season. 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 ofensive line meaning Peter Davenport as the only striker with a decent outcome including 17 goals scored.

Clough reinforced the midfield with John Metgod after his chaotic seasons in Real Madrid the Dutch player delivered a decent performance in a competitive line with Hodge, Bowyer, Wigley and Gary Mills reinforcing the mid line during winter. However, the injuries (including Colin Walsh) and the mediocre performance of the strikers sink the squad to the 9th spot in League and early eliminations in UEFA Cup, League Cup and FA Cup. The season is best remembered due to the debut of Forward Nigel Clough son of the club manager and the flop of midfielder Gary Megson as Clough said:"he couldn't trap a bag of cement". Megson spent five months at the City Ground, without making a single first-team appearance before being sold to Newcastle United.
