Mills, 59, made his Forest debut as a 16-year-old, and played in the 1980 European Cup final victory over Hamburg.

As well as two stints with the Garibaldi Reds, Mills enjoyed five seasons with the Foxes, being named Player of the Year twice and helping the club win promotion to the Premier League in 1994.

Mills - the current Corby Town manager - has also played for many other midlands clubs, including Notts County, Tamworth and Boston United, as well as a spell in America with the Seattle Sounders.

As a manager he has been in the dug-out for Notts, York City, Wrexham and Gateshead, among others, winning the FA Trophy twice with the Minstermen.
