bamber 128 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 The signs for the Brian Clough Way are about to go up on the A52. All I can say is: what about Peter Taylor? He was one half of the team that won First Division Championships at Derby and Forest and equally deserving of recognition. Cheers, Bamber Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Friends Whereabouts are they erecting the signs bamber ? Friends Friends I must agree with ya there bamber, Peter Taylor should have some recognition. Friends The A52 between Bramcote Island (Toton) and Pentagon Island (Derby) is being renamed. The first signs are going-up in Derby. BTW they have opened an appeal to raise money for a BC statue somewhere. So far they've raised £60K. A pathetic amount given the time elapsed and the huge amounts of money in footballers' (even if Forest are now in the 3rd Div) wallets. <_< Cheers, Bamber 100% Nottingham but 100% Ram Fan :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Friends I'm suprised mick hasn't said owt about those signs considering he drives down there everyday..bamber.. Shock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I drive from Cole Lane, just before Spondon, into Derby. There is one opposite pride park. I think there is also a sign at Bardills island? http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/ I wonder if the other end says "Linking Nottingham and Derby"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have to say I am rather disappointed by the new signage for the Brian Clough Way. I was hoping for something that had a stronger graphic style - imagine how the Americans would do a Vince Lombardi Way - rather than just another boring street sign.

Tutanic 8 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 The signs are surely indicative of the way Nottingham and Derby think. If all we have to compare these signs to is the wobbly 'N' (or have we forgotten that already?) what do you expect... A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Here's a thought! Put Clough/Taylor statues at the castle and get rid of Robin Hood. I mean to say - we all know he had nothing to do with Nottingham anyway!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 How many more times is this going to come up. Were not bothered where Robin was BORN, but it's Nottingham where he made his name. Columbus was born in Italy, but it's America he's famed for. Get it ? Good Heavens! Are you serious? I'm not! Now in the days of Noah's Ark, all the animals had to relieve themselves somewhere and it got to a point where the poor old ark was overloaded, so the by product was shovelled over the side and there was so much crap, it rose above the waves. A few centuries later, Columbus came along and ran into this bit of land sticking up and it turns out that--------- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Peter Taylor 25 years today. A disgrace that his role at the club has been ignored for so long, renaming the main stand long overdue. 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Peter Taylor's role in their success at The Rams and subsequently at Forest has never been properly recognized. I get quite annoyed when I hear him described as Brian Clough's assistant. Cloughie was the media's darling but Taylor was the man who spotted the talent in youngsters or saw the potential in apparent write-offs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I totally agree with all your comments regarding Peter Taylor, It was a long time coming. It must have been heartbreaking for Peter Taylor's family to constantly read about Brian Clough making Nottingham Forest into a great Club, a Club who won back to back European Cups and a long list of other honours, with Peter Taylor mentioned as an afterthought. Make no mistake, Brian Clough, in my opinion, was one of the best managers in the World but it was with Peter Taylor that he achieved what he did. Together they gave me some of the best memories of my life as I was there to see it all. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie 1,392 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Brian Clough was great, but then he was a Geordie and I love all Geordies...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
