THE EVENING
City Ground old boys Stuart Pearce,
Nigel Clough and Neil Webb joined
forces again recently-to perform
in front of hundreds of their
biggest fans.
The fab three took centre stage in
a Q A night, which was staged at
the East Midlands Conference
Centre in May and was organised
by our Corporate Department.
Pearce, Clough and Webb, who
between them clocked up more than
1,100 appearances in our colours,
delighted the audience with tales
from their playing days.
Not surprisingly, Brian Clough
was the subject of many of the
stories with Pearce recounting
how the master manager often
welcomed opposition captains
to The City Ground.
"Brian and myself would have
to go and see the referee before
games with the opposition manager
and captain," said Pearce, who is
now a member of Kevin Keegan's
backroom staff at Manchester City.
"If the opposition skipper came
into the referee's room wearing flip
flops, Brian would go over to shake
his hand and make sure he stood on
his toes.
"I remember him doing it to
Middlesbrough's Nigel Pearson,
who just didn't know what to make
of it at all. Brian wasn'ttrying to
hurt anyone - it was just his way of
unsettling players."
Pearce, Clough and Webb spent more
than an hour fielding questions from
the 200-strong audience.
And our Corporate Sales Manager
Les Braddsaid: "Stuart, Nigel and
Neil were fantastic. They were quite
happy to try and answer all of the
questions that came their way as
honestly as they could.
For the audience it was a rare
opportunity to hear the views of
three true Forest legends.
"It was a great night and I would
like to take this opportunity to thank
all those people who supported
the event."
