An impressive piece of street art across from the Trent Navigation pub on Meadows Lane in Nottingham has further immortalised Nottingham Forest and Notts County's greatest ever managers
The mural of Brian Clough and Jimmy Sirrel, who were close friends despite the local rivalry, is based on a photograph taken in 1985 of the footballing icons on Trent Bridge - half way between Meadow Lane and the City Ground. Forza Garibaldi, a Nottingham Forest fan group which has been behind some of the City Ground's displays, started planning the mural after noticing other cities' wall art.
Tom Holodynsky, operations manager at pub owners Great Northern Group, said: "It's just perfect. The people behind the project were looking for a long time for a good site and we were really quick to say yes when they asked if they could use our wall. "We are always really busy when both clubs are playing at home and both sets of fans think of it as theirs. I think it shows the respect and friendship between the two great figures and clubs really well."
