Brian Clough OBE

Brian Clough statue, Old Market Square, Nottingham.

The Brian Clough statue stands proudly in Nottingham city centre just off Old Market Square. It was unveiled on 6th November 2008 by Brian’s widow Barbara in front of an estimated crowd of 4,000 people. The statue was paid for thanks to the efforts of the Brian Clough Statue Fund, a group of volunteers who raised nearly £70,000 by selling ‘Cloughie’ related merchandise, organising fund-raising events and accepting donations from the public.

 

Brian Clough managed Nottingham Forest Football Club for 18 years between 1975 and 1993 and presided over the club's most successful spell in their history. During his reign two European Cups, a European Super Cup, a League Championship and 4 League Cups were all won.

 

Sadly, Nottingham’s hero passed away on 20th September 2004 so never got to see his statue
