On the eve of Carabao Cup Round One, the EFL caught up with Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton and two-time winner John McGovern, who shared some of his fondest memories of the competition.
Forest face Shrewsbury Town in the opening round of this year’s Carabao Cup and Warburton, off the back of Friday night’s Sky Bet Championship win over Millwall, is looking to continue the strong start to their season.

John McGovern was the captain of Brian Clough’s hugely successful Forest side that won back-to-back League Cups in the late 70’s.
McGovern spoke to the EFL whilst attending a PL Kicks community scheme supported by Nottingham Forest’s community team, aimed at people aged 18 and over.
