Tom Gordon Savage, the Nottingham Man Responsible for Juventus' Iconic Stripes
Fri 03 Sept 2021The links between Nottingham and Italian football are well known, from Mansfield Road-born Herbert Kilpin being a founding father of AC Milan to Juventus’ famous black and white stripes having connections with Notts County. But while details of the former are relatively solid, recent research into the latter, conducted by Roger Stirland and Luca Formara, has provided far more detail about the Notts links to la Vecchia Signora - in particular, the role of English businessman Tom Gordon Savage. With this month marking the ten-year anniversary of Notts County playing Juventus in their brand new stadium, we explore exactly just how one of the biggest teams in world football has Nottingham to thank for their iconic stripes…

Fri 20 Aug 2021The brainchild of Simpsons fanatic Huw Longman, Notts-based vegan meat specialists No Homers combine his love of all things Springfield with his knowledge of food - specifically Irish deli meat.

At The Wheel: Raleigh's New Managing Director Lee Kidger on The Company's Local History
Thu 10 Jun 2021Originally founded in Nottingham in 1885, The Raleigh Bicycle Company went on to become one of the oldest and most well-loved bicycle companies in the world.

A lot has changed for the company over the years, but it’s still firmly based in Notts (in Eastwood these days). We spoke to their Managing Director Lee Kidger…
