Loads of times. I became a silk screen printer,” says Anderson. "I'd been going to Manchester United every school holiday for a year. They said they didn't think I could quite make it at Man United. Brian Clough is a true Nottingham Forest legend. Two European Cups, a league title, two European Super Cups, four League Cups and close to two decades of cherished memories - Cloughie really was unique. Born inNottingham in 1933,Mansfield (1933 – 2017) dropped out of school aged 15 to work in a printing company and to join the army. Having returned to education, hereceived his degree in Physics in 1959 and a PhD in 1962. While working in the physics department at the University of Nottingham in the 1970s, he invented the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner now used in every hospital. He shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Paul C Lauterbur ofthe University of Illinois (Mansfield was Appointed Research Associate at the Physics Department 1962-1964) for his work in magnetic resonance imaging. Richard Parkes Bonington I particularly liked the candid camera work, and the director John Warrington deserves great credit for keeping the feeling of ‘being in Nottingham’ running throughout the film.

For me, it was always about the next stage. Playing for the youth team, can I get into the reserve team? In the corridors where the teams went up, you needed to jump from your team into the next one and then the next one. You play for the reserves, you've got to try to get into the first-team. And then it all starts there, are you going to make it or are you not going to make it? I don’t want to give away too much about the actual substance of the film, so I will let you make your own mind up, but I can tell you that it took me on an emotional journey that I’m pleased to have been on.Members of the current Forest coaching staff also showed their support, with assistant manager Alan Tate and first-team coaches Andy Reid and Jamie Robinson at the Arc Cinema for the screening. Plenty of Reds fans attended, too, and took the opportunity to pose with the European Cup. To mark 30 years since he left the City Ground, the Nottingham Post have produced a special edition celebrating his trophy-laden time with Forest. Yes, we got paid - even in those days - a better wage than a lot of people, which we are all grateful for, but it wasn’t about that. It was just about winning. You can still be humble, even though you are earning a fortune nowadays.”

Win Local Heroes on DVD There is not enough space on the internet to write about Mr Cloughs life and times, but suffice to say he achieved what no manager had done then, and is highly unlikely to ever achieve again. Sharing their fascinating journey, the trio recount their rise to fame and the obstacles they faced along the way, and how, during a time of economic difficulty, they persevered and prevailed. Local Heroes explores football’s political and cultural transformation over the years and draws parallels between life as a footballer in the 1970s to life in the footballing world now. Was that Peter Shilton I saw training on the traffic island of a roundabout the day before the game?," he asked. "Yes, that would have been Shilts," replied Anderson. "Cloughie didn't want us going anywhere near a ball at the end of a long season, but Shilts wanted to get the feel of the ball in his hands and that was the only patch of grass we could find near our hotel." Born in 1590 in the small farming community of Austerfield, Yorkshire, Bradford (1590 – 1657) was a principal player in the Pilgrim Fathers story. When he was about 18 years old, Bradford fled England with his mentor William Brewster and the Scrooby Congregation. By 1620, Bradford and his wife Dorothy joined the Mayflower ventureto the New World, and in April 1621 he was elected Governor of the Plymouth colony. William Brewster

Me personally, I never thought about giving up. But it was just the right things at the right time. Forest came along at the right time. I don't know what I would have done if not, but I always desperately wanted to be a footballer.”

This must-see film provides a captivating and moving glimpse into the lives of these determined individuals and sheds light on an inspiring, rarely heard story from the history of the beautiful game.Character is a theme which crops up frequently, both in the film and in this interview. All three talk about having a determination to succeed - whatever it took - and they remain incredibly humble, despite their great success. Another reminder. All football clubs started out as just that. Clubs. A group of people getting together to organise football matches. They weren’t born as toys for Arab states or Russian oligarchs, they were just clubs for men, boys and women to enjoy a game of football as a group. The film interviews the players both in their homes, in studio and on the streets of Nottingham where they grew up, and is a poignant look at what life was like growing up in 60s Great Britain.
