John McGovern

“John McGovern has many claims to fame. At the age of 19 he was the youngest ever player to play in all four divisions of the Football League.

In an distinguished career spanning over 500 matches as a professional football player John won the First Division title (now known as the FA Premier League) with Derby County & then repeating the feat again at Nottingham Forest.

His greatest claim to fame was that he was the captain of Nottingham Forest who not only once but twice won the UEFA European Cup as well as winners of a host of other domestic cups & European Super Cups.
A great story of football heroics & adventure & all played under the managerial leadership of the legendary Brian Clough & his capable assistant, Peter Taylor.”

Come along & enjoy a pie & peas dinner followed by John sharing his unique story about his footballing adventures including the pinnacle of being a double European Cup winning captain playing under the legendary Brian Clough followed by audience questions.
