The birthplace was the Clinton Arms on Shakespeare Street, where J S Scrimshaw's proposition was passed. The founder members were, A Barks, W Brown, W P Brown, C F Daft, T Gamble, R P Hawkesley, T G Howitt, W I Hussey, W R Lymberry, J Milford, J H Rastall, W H Revis, J G Richardson, J S Scrimshaw and J Tomlinson. The first official football match took place on 22 March 1866 against their neighbours Notts County, who had formed three years earlier in 1862.Nottingham Forest were one of the founder members of the Football Alliance in 1889, set up as a rival of the Football League established the year before. Forest were crowned Alliance champions in season 1891-92. At this point it was decided to merge the Football and Alliance Leagues, and a FL 2nd Division was formed. However, as Alliance champions Forest gained entry straight into Division One, finishing 10th of 16 in their first season.1886, the year of this decanter box, is also the year when Nottingham Forest famously influenced the choice of kit of the newly formed Arsenal Football Club, first known as Dial Square FC. A small group of Nottingham Forest players, Fred Beardsley, Bill Parr and Charlie Bates joined Dial Square FC and brought their old kit along with them. Forest played in 'Garibaldi' red, named after the leader of Italian Camicie Rosse (Redshirts) freedom fighters, who enjoyed populist support in England at this time. Working to a tight budget, the Club decided the most inexpensive way of acquiring a strip was to kit out the team in the same colour as the ex-Forest players. The Gunners' famous white sleeves were not introduced until 1933.
