There are plenty of links between the two clubs...
A number of players have represented both clubs over the past 20 years, most notably…
Jermaine Jenas
Nottingham-born Jermaine Jenas made his Forest debut as a 17-year-old in an FA Cup game against Wolves in January 2001, alongside the likes of Chris Bart-Williams, Marlon Harewood and Andy Reid. After making just 33 first-team appearances for Forest, he joined Newcastle for £5million in February 2002. He returned to The City Ground 10 years later, playing seven games on loan from Tottenham. Jenas ended his playing career with QPR, making 40 appearances before retiring in June 2014 after failing to recover from a knee ligament injury.
Dexter Blackstock
Gary Waddock paid £500,000 for Blackstock when he joined QPR from Southampton in August 2006. He scored 32 goals in 117 games for QPR and was their top scorer in 2006-07 and 2008-09. Billy Davies took Blackstock on loan to Forest towards the end of the 2008-09 season, before paying £1.6million for him in July that year. Blackstock cored 13 goals in his first season with Forest – only Robert Earnshaw scored more. He went on to score 44 goals in 187 games for Forest before being released in 2016.
Other players to play for both clubs include Junior Agogo, Lee Camp, Danny Cullip, John Curtis, Shaun Derry, Luke Freeman, Clint Hill, Todd Kane, Paul Konchesky, Joel Lynch, Federico Macheda, Jamie Mackie, Michael Mancienne, Ishmael Miller, Gino Padula, James Perch, Jack Robinson, Armand Traore and Ben Watson.
