 Clough, who managed both Derby and Forest, died in 2004 |
Derby County and Nottingham Forest have announced that the inaugural Brian Clough Trophy game in July raised �100,000 for East Midlands charities. The match, on 31 July, attracted a crowd of 25,159 at Derby's Pride Park. The Trophy, named after the legendary former manager of both clubs, will be contested whenever they meet - whether in a league, cup or friendly match. The �100,000 will be divided between the two clubs' nominated charities and the Brian Clough Memorial Fund. It has been divided up as follows: �25,000 for Derby's nominated charities (10 designated charities for 2007/08 sharing �20,000, and �5,000 to the Derbyshire FA's charities). �25,000 to Forest's annual nominated charity - the Danielle Beccan Memorial Trust. �25,000 will be distributed by the Brian Clough Memorial Fund to a number of local charities, at the discretion of the Clough family. All three parties have agreed to present �12,500 each to the East Midlands Air Ambulance and NSPCC (East Midlands).
