Local Heroes (DVD)

The story of how three young working-class lads from Nottingham went on to become unlikely heroes and reach the pinnacle of professional football when unfashionable Nottingham Forest, under the mercurial Brian Clough, won the European Cup not just once, but twice, in 1979 and 1980. Viv Anderson, (the first black footballer to play for England), former carpet fitter, Gary Birtles, and Tony Woodcock, who later played for FC Cologne and Arsenal, return to Nottingham to take us back to where it all began as we uncover how three working class lads, against all the odds, became 'Local Heroes'.
