Plummer also caused controversy in 1982, when he agreed to play on an unofficial tour of South Africa. The tour, organised by Jimmy Hill and sponsored by South African Breweries, was largely made up of players heading toward the end of their careers. Plummer's presence as the only younger player, as well as the only black player in the initial squad, gave rise to accusations of tokenism. The tour itself was both a footballing and public relations disaster and caused great damage to Plummer's career. Brian Clough, his Nottingham Forest manager at the time, was publicly critical of Plummer's naivety and relations did sour between them. Despite this, Clough re-signed Plummer later in his career.
