Special day today. The unveiling of a statue of Brian Clough right in the heart of Nottingham city centre.

Barbara Clough unveiled the statue which she called perfect. Gary Newbon hosted the ceremonies and used some of the Clough lines to great effect - as all the civics lined up before the statue, he pointed to them and said "lovely chains, but none of them championship medals".

The statue was paid for by the public, the £70,000 having been organised by ordinary Forest fans.
