Don't miss out: The Green Jumper on tour in '24

Latest details HERE

The latest season of the Green Jumper includes a photographer who captured iconic images of Brian Clough.  John Sumpter was the official Nottingham Forest photographer for more than 40 years. He recalls great stories of working with Cloughie and says there was mutual trust between them. 

On one occasion, he was invited to travel back from Wembley on the team coach after another trophy success. "Get yourself on the bus," Cloughie ordered after John took special photos in the dressing room. "I sat behind Brian Clough on the team coach - and he told Albert the driver to put some Buddy Holly music on as we left Wembley."

Among John's historic photos is the moment Cloughie met Princess Diana before for the 1991 FA Cup Final at Wembley. "I was so close to them, I could hear their conversation," recalls John who describes that special encounter in the Green Jumper with host Marcus Alton.

Latest stats show the Green Jumper Pod has now been downloaded in more than 80 countries since its launch in February 2021. Thousands of listeners around the world have tuned in to hear brilliant stories and memories from the magical Brian Clough era, with exclusive prizes and offers. 

Guests include European Cup winners John Robertson, Martin O'Neill, Tony Woodcock, Viv Anderson, Ian Bowyer and Gary Mills plus Cloughie favourite Paul Hart, who spoke with warmth, humour and honesty about the man he calls a genius.

We've also heard from ex-Derby winger Alan Hinton, Forest stalwart Steve Chettle  (who was named Clough's Player of the Year in 1988), former striker Nigel Jemson and Lord Clarke, formerly MP Ken Clarke who often met Brian. 

"Thanks very much for the opportunity to pay tribute to a special man" 

- Former FIFA Referee Keith Hackett

Fondly remembered for wearing his green sweater on the touchline, football legend Brian Clough was outspoken, unpredictable and the best manager England never had.
