The LTLF ‘Ladies in Red’ calendar features 12 gorgeous girls dressed (or not, in some cases!) in everyone’s favourite colour. Captured in sexy football kits in the changing rooms and showers, every month you’ll be able enjoy one of a dozen stunning natural beauties from Nottingham and the surrounding area.
Proceeds are going to Help for Heroes, a UK registered charity (#6363256) which helps support wounded British servicemen and women injured in the current conflicts.
There is a gentleman that deserves some consideration this week. Brian Howard Clough had a special statue raised to him in the Old Market Square. He was a manager of Forest and a former England player.
There are some moments in life when an individual steps forward and creates a moment of personal heroism that becomes historic. I think of Churchill in the second world war, or Atlee building the welfare state. They do something they were born to do. They change the world and our expectations of it.
I’ve had a difficult week this week, having a truss fitted is a slow process and my Doctor is from Poland and does not understand a word of English. You look like a right goon wearing a truss around your forehead; I was the laughing stock of the Darby and Joan Club.
As revealed in October, LTLF has secured and conducted an interview with BBC Radio Nottingham’s Pitchside Commentator, Robin Chipperfield. I posed your questions to him, and the answers make most interesting reading.
Footage from yesterday’s emotional unveiling of the Brian Clough statue in Nottingham city centre. You can see and hear the estimated 4,000 crowd, a bit of Cloughie’s favourite Sinatra song, a few words from the great man himself and Barbara Clough acknowledging the turnout before revealing the memorial itself.
Thanks to the power of the internet and our team of LTLF camera men we are pleased to be able to bring you some photos from todays unveilling of the Brian Clough Statue in Nottingham.
I watched the game yesterday at the Daycare Centre. It was broadcast in HD. HD? Whatever next? When I was a lad we had one channel in black and white. When football was shown, it was the cup final. One team always had to play in white shirts and black shorts, the other wore black shorts and white shirts. Television was originally broadcast from Crystal Palace; the place where we gained three of our four away points last week. How come that game wasn’t on the tele?
With our first competitive game against the Sheep for three years looming, you probably won’t be surprised that I’ve chosen a classic encounter between the two teams for this week’s video.
Forest come from behind to win this gritty game in 1989 – the tackles will make you wince, the well-worked goals will make you proud, and watching Derby getting stuffed by the mighty Reds will make you hope for the same this Sunday…
The FA have announced that due to the Nottingham Forest fans vitriol aimed towards Dave Jones a severe and just punishment has been dealt out. Brian Bigbuns has condemned the behavior has “irresponsible and unacceptable.”
The punishment handed out will be a lesson to all other fans who think they can have a light chuckle at someone else’s miss fortune. Despite a last minute appeal from the Nottingham Forest scape goat MArthur Puddleduck, which was deemed “frivolous” Nottingham Forest fans will have to endure further heartache at the City Ground.
Whilst we’re all awaiting our clash with Derby County on 2nd November with a mixture of excitement, anticipation and dread, it’s a little over a week until another event that I would hope is on the calendar of as many Forest (and indeed, perhaps even Derby) fans as possible.
At 1pm on the 6th November, Barbara Clough will provide the final flourish to the Brian Clough Statue Fund, by unveiling the sculpture of the master manager created by Les Johnson; a fellow of the Royal British Society of Sculptors.
So, to either continue the party from the 2nd, or to give yourself some cheer following on from a disappointing result, if you can please make your way to the junction of King and Queen Street, just off the Old Market Square, at 1pm on Thursday 6th November, and witness something that promises to be very special indeed.
