Brian Clough: Special event will feature 'exclusive recordings' of legendary Nottingham Forest boss

A special tribute event celebrating Nottingham Forest’s legendary manager Brian Clough hopes to raise money for a cancer support charity. 

The ‘Green Jumper’ event will involve a Q&A session with Nottingham-based author and historian Marcus Alton, who has written five books about the iconic Forest boss. 

The Q&A will take place at Ramsdale Golf Club in Calverton and raise money for Maggie’s Cancer Centre, which provides free expert care and support for those diagnosed with the illness.

With centres across the UK, including here in Nottingham, the charity allows those suffering with cancer to access professional advice about the illness itself or other secondary factors such as financial concerns. 

The special evening, chaired by experienced Nottinghamshire-based event host Neil Kendrick, is part of a series of Cloughie tribute events that Marcus is involved in during 2024.

Clough was well-known for wearing his famous green jersey on the touchline and the charity event will include memories of the times Marcus interviewed the ‘Miracle Manager’, as well as exclusive audio recordings.

Marcus hosts the popular Green Jumper podcast, where guests share memories of the famous Brian Clough era at Forest. 

During the evening, Marcus will be talking about his new book ‘Brian Clough The Lost Tapes’ which is raising money for the Nottinghamshire Hospice and the NSPCC.

The book, published by DB Publishing in Nottinghamshire, lifts the lid on a treasure trove of Clough stories. 

Tickets for the event at 7pm on Thursday, May 9, cost £5 and can be purchased by emailing [email protected] or [email protected].
