On our urban walk yesterday the canal towpath was closed by the lock that links the canal to the River Trent, so we had to move up to street level and follow the road to the river.
As we stepped up onto the road I saw this new mural (painted October 2023) opposite the Trent Navigation Inn pub.
So I nipped down the street to photograph it.
This is Jimmy Sirrell and Brian Clough, legendary football managers for Notts County and Nottingham Forest respectively.
I was pointing my camera upwards, so I had to straighten my converging verticals in post processing
It's a black and white mural and looks really cool. The mural is based on a photograph taken of the pair at Trent Bridge in 1985.
This is rather good. I knew of Cloughie ( who didn’t!) but didn’t know the other guy. I am not a football fan & anything I know about it has been learnt through osmosis 😜
My brother is a Forest fan.
