This is the Brian Clough Statue, situated in Nottingham city centre . It has become Nottingham's speakers corner .
Brian Clough is perhaps one of England's greatest ever football managers. He led Nottingham Forest to great heights , champions of the league and two times winners of the European Cup.
Shot on CineStill BwXX using a Pentax ME camera and 50mm f1.7 prime lens. Cinestill is a film first used in 1959 to shoot movies in Hollywood studios. Now available in black and white 35mm film
Cloughie was an outspoken manager , he had some great quotes ..."I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."
I agree, this is a striking picture and the B&W highlights the statue's expression. I also like very much when you experiment with vintage equipment and share the result with us.
Quite apt I suppose that it should become speakers corner, after all “young man”, Cloughie always had plenty to say! My Brother is a Forest fan & was a season ticket holder at one time. He did wonders with the team, more than can be said now!
@carole_sandford Carole, Cloughie was top drawer, a great man manager and his teams played stellar football. His management of Justin Fashanu was perhaps not one of his finest hours.
@happypat he was a good football pundit and had great success with Forest
@pandorasecho thanks Dixie, a good quote for sure :)
