Our thoughts are with his loved ones
Nottingham Forest will lead the tributes to a loving father, who had been going to matches for more than 50 years and helped paint the Brian Clough Stand which was built in 1980. Barrie Hayes, who was born and bred in The Meadows, had been going to games since he was a teenager, and the club has agreed to honour him with a picture and a message at the City Ground at half time of the match against Aston Villa on Monday, October 10.
Natasha, 41, said: "I'm the youngest of five but I was only one, bless him, out of all of us who actually really liked football so he thought 'great I've got an excuse to go.' So we were avid Forest fans going in the Trent End when it was the old Trent End when it was all standing in the 80s and early 90s.
"He was such a big fan and lived 10 minutes away from the ground and always did. And so obviously I reached out to Forest and found out that I could make request if he could have his photograph in the programme and on the screen which they agreed to. "From '85 onwards we were there at every home game and then later on as my middle son was born he then found a passion for Forest as well so I bought he and my dad season tickets so we could all go together.
