Part one covers Bob Paisley's Liverpool, who sealed their first win in the competition in 1977 and retained the trophy the next year. Then the mantle passed to Nottingham Forest who, inspired by the charismatic Brian Clough, dumped Liverpool out of the competition and shocked everyone by going on to win consecutive trophies themselves.
The second part focuses on the break-up of Brian Clough's hugely successful Nottingham Forest, the re-emergence of Liverpool who lifted their third and fourth European Cups in 1981 and 1984 and the incredible story of Aston Villa who upset all the odds to claim their one and only win in in 1982.
