Wood has actually played Championship and European football in the same season once before!

Wigan, Ipswich and Millwall have also done it. But I think it's been Championship with UEFA Cup or Europa League combined. Not the UCL!

In 2011, Birmingham stunned Arsenal to win the League Cup when Obafemi Martins' late goal earned the Blues their first major trophy.

Yet they were relegated from the Premier League three months later and faced the Europa League in the Championship.

The finished third in Group H, behind Club Brugge and Braga, to exit the competition despite losing just two of their six games and winning 10 points.

Their victory over Club Brugge in Belgium coming courtesy of a stoppage-time winner from current Forest striker Chris Wood.
