Brian Clough Trophy

Since the start of the 2007-08 season, all games between Forest and Derby County have been competed for the Brian Clough Trophy.

The trophy only changes hands on a win; in the case of a draw then it's retained by the current holder, and in the 15 years of the trophy, Derby have had by far the biggest success, holding the trophy for almost twice as long as we have.

We lost that first game (a friendly) 2-0 and then Derby won or drew the next four meetings to hold onto the trophy for the first 2 years. We finally got our hands on the cup but only for one game, and the 11 months that we held it is still the shortest period that anyone has held the title.
Shortly after that Derby went on another 4-game streak to hold for it another two years and then went on a 6-game defence that lasted 3 years, 3 months and 7 days, which is the longest time period it's been held.
Until right now that is.
Because on June 2nd 2022, we will have held the trophy for 3 years, 3 months and 8 days. Good times.
