Brian Clough statue returns to Albert Park after repairs
Summary

The statue of Brian Clough has been returned to Albert Park in Middlesbrough after undergoing repairs. The bronze sculpture, which stands 7 feet tall, was removed in May due to a crack in its standing leg. During the restoration, the statue's feet were reattached and a new foundation block was installed for added support. Around the base, a flower bed has been planted to deter visitors from climbing on the statue. Clough, who was born in Middlesbrough in 1935, is regarded as one of the town's most notable sports figures.
