Brian Clough assesses Forest's Class of 2025, BBC Sport, 2025

What might legendary Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough have made of Forest's class of 2025 - a team enjoying its best season in decades?

With Forest riding high in 3rd place in the Premier League, in early 2025 I dived deep into the BBC Sport archives to find excerpts of Clough in conversation that could be used in an authentic, fun, and impactful way - and without using AI.

The result was this Match of the Day 2 ‘match top’ that weaves Clough’s legendary wit and insight with the music of Nottingham’s own ‘Ten Years After.’
