BRIAN CLOUGH STORIES - FRANZ CARR

Franz Carr was signed by Brian Clough as a flying winger in 1985.

"He used to tell me to stand on the white line and not to move. He'd say, 'If you move, you're off. Don't worry, it's my job to make sure you get the ball.' He was great with little things like that, where your positioning is to make the pitch wider." 

In Episode 99 of the Green Jumper podcast, you can hear his memories of working with Brian Clough.

Franz is pictured with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton. "Your research is amazing, you've got some amazing archive footage," said Franz. 

Franz was a headline writer's dream - with many articles featuring phrases like 'Carr is Forest driving force.'

Back in 1987, Franz posed for a photo in a sponsored car. We recreated the same pose in his 2025 vehicle!
