Campaign launched to celebrate the life of Brian Clough on anniversary of Nottingham Forest European Cup win

He's the greatest manger England never had, a Nottingham legend of epic proportions and the man who led Forest to not one, but two European Cup victories.

Of course, we're talking about Brian Clough.

In recognition of the great man's achievements and the 40th anniversary of the Reds' victory in Hamburg the Nottingham Castle Trust in partnership with Left Lion has launched the Clough Challenge.

The people of Nottingham (and beyond) are being encouraged to pick their favourite quote from the gaffer and share it on social media.

The rules are simple...

  1. Choose your favourite Brian Clough quote (for those seeking inspiration there are lots to choose from on BrianClough.com)
  2. Film a selfie video of yourself saying it to camera. (Feel free to wear a Forest shirt, green jumper or other Clough-esque attire while doing so)
  3. Share your video to Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #CloughChallenge

Celebrities have already been getting involved with Jonny Owen choosing "Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job" and Game of Thrones' Bella Ramsey choosing "We talk about it for 20 minutes and then decide I was right".
