Brian Clough Trophy
In 2007 it was decided that whenever the two teams played in the league or in a cup tie the Brian Clough Trophy, in memory of the man who had great success at both clubs, would be awarded to the winner. The inaugural match was held at Pride Park in July 2007 which Derby won 2–0. Forest's first trophy victory came after a 3–2 defeat at the City Ground in August 2009. The Rams are the current holders, having beaten Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on 30 September 2012.

“As I sat at the cafe, I said to myself,
They may talk as they please about what they call pelf,
They may sneer as they like about eating and drinking,
But help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking
How pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
How pleasant it is to have money.”
—Arthur Hugh Clough (18191861)
