Clough 'kissed my grandad's bald head' - fan stories
- Published
This week, we are asking you to share your stories and photos for why you fell in love with Nottingham Forest.
Here is a selection of your submissions:
Ryan: My first game was Sheffield Wednesday away with my grandad, a staunch SWFC fan. I sided with my parental side of the family and chose Forest. Back in 1991 he turned up, said he used to work at the ground and asked if we could have a look around pre-match.
Then Forest turned up. Mr Clough jumped off the bus. I asked for his autograph. He told me to come in the dressing room, meet all the players then posed for pics and kissed my grandad on his bald head. We lost 2-1 but what a memory!
Tony: It was January 1975 and Brian Clough arrived. I was a disgusted Derby supporter turned into a delighted Forest fan. The 30th May 1979? A honeymoon drive to Munich. Perfect!
Robert: I've been a lifelong Forest supporter, watching them play in the glory days of Brian Clough. I first started to go down the City Ground when I was about 11, which was in the mid Sixties. I wasn't that tall in those days and had to use a stool to stand on to see over the wall at the Bridgford end.
That stool is still in the family and received a bit of a makeover when Forest were promoted to the Premier League. My son and grandson both support Forest.
