'They know who's in trouble!' - Nottingham Forest fans joke about legendary Brian Clough moment

Brian Clough was always known to be a larger than life figure at Nottingham Forest, and somewhat a centre of attention.

With his personality and gravitas, the legendary Reds boss prowled the touchline - with no end to the incidents.

One of these was highlighted by Nottingham Forest's facebook page which dug out a photo of a police officer confronting Clough - or vice versa.

From the angle of the picture, you can't quite tell who is getting the lecturing, but it certainly seems like Cloughie is giving the copper an earful!

Here's what fans had to say about this photo, from the Reds archive:

Chris Bray: Look at them young lads around Brian, they know who’s in trouble and it’s not Brian!

Paul: You just know Cloughie is telling him what’s what and what he should be doing.

Scott Smedley: The cop knew right then he had bitten off more than he could chew.

Stuart Burkitt : Cloughie was always right

Paul Chamberlain: If that copper is on Brian’s grass I fear for him!

Duncan Stuart: Brian Clough IS the law.

Brian Simpson: My money is on Brian!

Chris Ball: The copper was probably put on the naughty step.
