Former Forest footballer tells of life under the legendary manager Brian Clough...

The March event of the Gainsborough Sporting Club was attended by 102 people who were entertained by Duncan McKenzie, the ex-Nottingham Forest and Leeds footballer.

He was able to give the audience an insight into working with Brian Clough at both Forest and Leeds. He said it was very enjoyable at Forest but not quite so refreshing at Leeds.

His party piece when younger was to leap over a mini!

This was followed by comedian Gary Marshall who was extremely funny.
