The fashion for creating celebrity banknotes, many of which are offered for sale on the internet, has finally embraced Derby County.

The Rams and England star Steve Bloomer (1874-1938) features on a £20 note. Likewise his Derby County and England colleague John Goodall (1863-1942).

But Derby's legendary manager Brian Clough (1935-2004) - who always valued himself pretty highly - is worth a mere tenner!

Of course none of the mock notes are worth anything like their face value - just a pound or so as novelty items - and are most definitely not 'legal tender'. Each is printed on only one side as it is illegal to make even celebrity banknotes which show a double-sided image.

No reports have yet come in suggesting that any of the notes have been successfully tendered as real hard cash!
