With Forest having upgraded the facilities at the Nigel Doughty Academy last season and over the summer, players are encouraged to socialise before and after training. The canteen area and player’s lounge are now of a Premier League standard. Those at the club are no longer nervous about potential new signings seeing the facilities.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo credits former Reds manager Brian Clough for giving the club "the mentality of knowing that anything is possible in football". It has been 20 years since club legend Clough died at the age of 69 in 2004.

Friday marked 20 years since the death of Forest's most successful manager, who led them to a First Division title, back-to-back European Cups and four League Cups in the 1970s and 1980s.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is proud to be managing the club where the legendary Brian Clough achieved so many impressive feats.
