Allestree Juniors F.C. are a youth football club within the Derby City Youth Football League and the largest youth club in terms of teams in Derby. The club was founded in 1977 with a single team, at their 25th anniversary in 2012 this had grown to 29 covering ages from under 7 to under 18. Their most famous alumnus is Nigel Clough who played at the club while his father, Brian Clough, was manager at Derby County F.C.. Brian Clough also acted as the club President at this time, although this would seem to be impossible as the club was only founded 4 years after Clough resigned as Derby County manager, and was at that time at Nottingham Forest.
