Lineker's Left Foot Posted 25 September 2005 Share Posted 25 September 2005 Ok as a Leicester fan I dispise F**est and D*rby as far as football is concerned, but on going to my sister's - who lives in Belper, Derbyshire - the other night, I drove down the A52 which links Derby and Nottingham - noticing that it has been renamed 'Brian Clough Way' !! Despite hating these two teams, I admire this incredible football manager and have to say that he deserves having this road named after him. Well done Brian - wish you could have been City's manager one day !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted 26 September 2005 Share Posted 26 September 2005 Nice gesture but I cant think of a more awful road to be named after, I used to use this road alot and its slightly less than hell. I guess its the only road they could've used though as it links the two 'Cities' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted 27 September 2005 Share Posted 27 September 2005 Clough was an incredible manager - think of what he could have done if he'd managed a proper football club! By the way the signs for this road were apparently made in Leicester - so all three of the region's main cities were involved in the scheme.
