Local Heroes (2023)
Local Heroes telling their story - and what a story

Although I've lived in Nottingham for over 30 years, I'm not originally from the area or a massive Forest or even football fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Viv, Garry and Tony come across as lovely down to earth people, all with glints in their eyes, even in sometimes difficult days. Great to see Martin O' Neill and Kevin Keegan too, could listen to them for hours.
And of course the back drop is Forest in the late 70's, Cloughy and the rise from the second division to winning the European Cup. Boys own stuff.
Very well put together and gripped me throughout, a combination of local interest, nostalgic memories, human drama and footballing feats that likely won't ever be repeated.
Well done John Warrington.
