Back The Bid At Work

Posted on: Mon 23 Aug 2010
Nottingham Forest staff will be marking the 100 days to go before England discovers whether it's bid to host the FIFA World Cup has been successful by joining in the national 'Wear Your Shirt To Work Day'.

Tomorrow will see people across the country swapping their regular work attire for their favourite football strip to demonstrate their support for England's World Cup bid - and staff at The City Ground will be no exception.

Nottingham was chosen as one of 12 Candidate Host Cities which are part of England's bid after demonstrating how its rich history, world famous sporting heritage, great transport links and diverse cultural offer make it the perfect place to stage the world's biggest sporting event.

So why not wear your favourite footie shirt with pride tomorrow and show your support for Nottingham and England hosting the 2018 World Cup.

Pictured is former Nottingham Forest and England star Steve Hodge with the shirt worn by Diego Maradona when he scored his controversial 'Hand of God' goal for Argentina against England at the 1986 World Cup.

Steve, an ambassador for Nottingham's bid to be a Host City, swapped shirts with Maradona after the quarter final match. The infamous shirt is currently on display at Nottingham Castle.
