Explanation

Nottingham Forest won the European Cup (now Champions League) in 1979 and 1980 under Brian Clough. They are the only English club to have won the European Cup/Champions League more than once while playing outside the top division. Leeds United were runners-up in 1975, Charlton Athletic and Blackpool have never won the Champions League.

AI explanation

Nottingham Forest won the European Cup (the forerunner of the Champions League) in both 1979 and 1980 under Brian Clough, a remarkable feat for a club that later fell down the English football pyramid. At the time this question was written, Forest were playing outside the Premier League despite that historic European pedigree, unlike the other clubs listed.
