During the 2001–02 English football season, Nottingham Forest competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary

[edit]

The appointment of Paul Hart as manager failed to revitalise Forest and they dropped down to 16th in the final table, down from the previous season's 11th-place finish. Forest also had to contend with the departures of several key players, including highly rated young midfielder Jermaine Jenas to Newcastle United.
