Player who scored famous Nottingham Forest goal now set to sign for Derby County

Over the years, a good number of players have represented both

Derby County and Nottingham Forest.

Even though it hasn’t felt like it in recent years, the two clubs share a long-standing

and intense rivalry.

These days, teams fight for the Brian Clough Trophy, which Derby hasn’t had since Forest wrested it from them in 2019.

Since their 2-0 victory at Pride Park in October 2017, the Rams have not truly defeated Forest.

Since the clubs haven’t even played one another in the past two and a half years,

the rivalry is waning.

In light of this, it’s rather curious that a player from Forest is really expected to sign with the team across the A52.

Alan Nixon now claims that he will join the Rams on a free transfer, having been denied a new deal by Sheffield United.

Osborn played for the Blades for five years before making 24 appearances for the South Yorkshiremen in the Premier League last year.

Given how awful Derby truly was, it’s amazing that United exceeded their lowest point total in 2023–2024.

They have returned to the Championship, and it looks as though Osborn will be joining a team that will compete against them in the upcoming campaign.

The 29-year-old played 230 games for the Reds after going through Forest’s development.

After the Blades were promoted to the Premier League, he left to sign with them and experienced two relegations while playing for them.
