Fans remember Clough

The memorial service, which starts at 1930 BST, will pay tribute to Clough's life and celebrate his achievements.

The service was to be held at Derby Cathedral but had to be changed due to the demand from fans for tickets.

"It's a wonderful comment about Brian's success in the region," said Nicholas Henshall, Cathedral canon precentor.

Derby chairman John Sleightholme added: "We've worked with the staff of the cathedral and Brian's family to ensure the service is a fitting tribute to a man whose footballing achievements were truly remarkable.

"It ensures Brian's friends and family, football supporters from across the east Midlands and those whose lives were touched can join together to pay their respects and celebrate his achievements."
