Fans of Nottingham Forest and Derby want the road linking the cities to be named after the late Brian Clough.
Traditionally fierce rivals, both sets of supporters agree it would be fitting to name the A52 `Brian Clough Way' in honour of the manager who guided both clubs to huge success.
"It is one of several very good ideas to remember Cloughie", said Paul
Ellis, chairman of the Nottingham Forest Supporters Club. "We've had a couple of discussions and it is one of three ideas we think are suitable."
Ellis believes the council could also name the pathway in the market square after the Forest legend - and he wants the club to oversee a lasting tribute.
The club need to do something, he added. There's already a Brian Clough stand so perhaps gates at the City Ground could be named after him.
But there is unanimous agreement to name the A52 after Clough - and the campaign is gathering momentum.
Nick Sellors, spokesman for the Derby fans group RamsTrust, added," He is best known for his involvement with us and our friends down the road and, although both sides have been trying to claim him for their own, let's face it, he was a football god within the east midlands."
