EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic print captures a historic moment in Nottingham Forest's history, showcasing the legendary manager Brian Clough alongside his talented striker Peter Withe. Taken on the 23rd of March, 1978, this image symbolizes both triumph and tension within the team. Peter Withe, depicted on the left side of the frame, had fallen out with the occasionally controversial Brian Clough. Despite their differences, Withe's exceptional skills as a center-forward could not be denied. In a surprising turn of events, he made a bold move north to Tyneside later that year. This transfer to Newcastle United was considered a massive coup for manager Bill McGarry. It involved Withe dropping down a division but came at an unprecedented cost - £200,000 - setting a new club record fee for Newcastle United. The photograph perfectly encapsulates this pivotal moment in football history. The expressions on both Clough and Withe's faces reveal mixed emotions - pride and accomplishment tinged with underlying tensions between player and manager. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints' collection, it serves as a reminder that even amidst success and glory in sports, conflicts can arise among teammates and managers alike. This image immortalizes an era when football was not just about commercial gain but also about passion for the game itself.
