STATUE FUND LAUNCH
The actor Colin Tarrant helped to kick start a fund to raise money for a statue of Brian Clough. Organisers are hoping to raise around £60,000 for a sculpture in Nottingham city centre. Colin, who's starring as the Great Man in the tribute play at Nottingham Playhouse, joined fund-raisers at a launch event (June 17th, 2005).
They travelled on the Brian Clough tram into the city centre. There, they were met by the city council leader, Cllr Jon Collins, who handed over banners which will be auctioned off. Colin is pictured, left, with commitee members Rich Fisher, Sarah Clarke, Paul Ellis (chairman) and Mick Mellors.
Central TV interviewed Colin and fund-raiser Sarah Clarke. Cllr Jon Collins handed over special banners which had been displayed in the city centre in tribute to the Great Man.
