Cup runs and campaigns

Reached final / semi-final / quarter-final

Ian Storey-Moore produced a defining cup performance as Nottingham Forest beat Everton 3-2 in an FA Cup quarter-final at the City Ground.

Storey-Moore scored all three Forest goals, making the afternoon one of the great individual moments in the club’s cup history. A hat-trick in a quarter-final carried its own weight, but doing it against Everton gave the result extra force.

The match sent Forest into the FA Cup semi-finals and gave the City Ground crowd a day built around pressure, goals and release. Cup ties of that scale often turn on one player’s composure, and Storey-Moore supplied the decisive cutting edge.

For supporters, the memory was simple and powerful: Everton beaten, a semi-final place secured, and Storey-Moore’s name attached to every Forest goal. It was a cup occasion with a clear hero.
