The wonderful tribute to Brian Clough which Nottingham Forest are planning at the City Ground

Nottingham Forest will celebrate the life of the legendary Brian Clough at the City Ground on Saturday.

It will be 15 years on Friday since Clough passed away, aged 69.

And the Reds will pay tribute to their most famous manager on the day they face Barnsley on home soil in the Championship.

The club plans to beam an image of Clough onto the big screens inside the stadium 15 minutes into the match, and encourage supporters to hold a minute's applause.

Forest would also like fans to wear any Clough memorabilia they have, from the iconic green jumpers to scarves and flags.

There will also be a tribute to Clough, who unforgettably led the Reds to their two European Cup triumphs during the most successful period in the club's history, on the front cover of the matchday programme.
