England would have had at least 2 more world cups if he had been in charge. A tragedy he was never made England manager.
When football had characters…
The man was a fuckin plonky who had three successful years…three…. before turning Forest into a fuckin Witherspoons! Compare that to Paisley or Fergy !
Sean Dyche is the kind of guy that would be great to go to the pub with for a few pints. Just a very likeable guy who’ll have stories for days.
Great stories and great links. 👍
Plot Twist: It WAS Peter Beagrie on the phone but Cloughie was a great opportunist.
Had the pleasure of meeting Brian many years ago. Lovely man and very funny. But also very intimidating.
Was a day ill never forget.
I’m not the biggest football fan but you can’t help but want to hear more stories about this man. I don’t like reading but he makes me want to read his autobiography.
I went into Rancliffe Arms in Bunny on a Monday lunch with me Dad for Darts and curry, in the Area where the darts board was was Cloughy and Ken Smales, after a couple of games with Cloughie the curry was ready, As we sat down for curry both Brian and Ken said cheerio enjoy. After curry and a couple more beers we finished darts and went to the bar to settle with the landlord, Alan Hill, who said no problem lads paid by Ken and Brian 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. My niece now owns the Rancliffe 👍🏽👍🏽
Have you heard the one about he came to Leeds. And lasted six weeks ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was laughing so loud at these stories about Brian, that I have just been told off by my wife lol good 'ol big 'ead. Gone, but never ever forgotten.
12:19 – Jimmy Kimmel.
He was a pundit alongside Mick Channon when England were playing in a tournament. England were underperforming and Channon started waxing lyrical about other teams: "The Dutch do it, the French do it, the Danes do it…."
Clough sings, "Even educated fleas do it. Let's do it, let's fall in love".
As a Liverpool fan I liked clough…
How he never managed England is criminal
Brian Clough was God's own Englishman for 25 years. A wonderful, warm, slightly mad but equally brilliant man.
i could listne to brian clough stories all day brilliant mark crossly coul make a living out of his stories !!!
As a young boy growing up in East Kilbride, I vividly remember thinking Forest were the best team ever. And most of the English replica kits sold there were the red of Forest. A magical time when the football they played was absolutely sensational.
I’m still a fan from a distance but I’ve promised myself that I’ll get to a game soon.
What a fantastic channel this is- proper interviewing, and the courtesy given to interviewees to actually answer your questions.
Brilliant!
4 of those I actually hadn’t heard so fair play!
Cloughs biggest skill he knew how to keep players with big egos under control.
Cloughie was a product of a time and social class that doesnt exist anymore.
He was years ahead of his time when it came to education and instruction.
Superb
Never heard before and dont particularly want to hear now!
My grandfather had to help a drunken Cloughie get home a from beer run at the local offie, in Derby in the mid 90s. Even then he was apparently hilarious on the journey home.
Great manager and great family man 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️
For anyone interested in the legendary Forest team of 1977-1980, there's a superb movie documentary called "I Believe In Miracles" featuring contemporary interviews with all the players from that squad. Shame Cloughie wasn't alive to contribute but, as someone who watches a lot of sports docs, I recommend it very highly.
Frank Sinatra, he's met me
Rome wasn't built in a day but I wasn't on that particular job
I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the country but I was definitely in the top one
They didn't give me the england job cos they thought I'd take over, they were right, I would have
I've heard all of these before but then again, I am Brian Clough.
Excellent
The very ‘special one ‘
Brian used to always buy us fruit and and we would watch his RR while shopping at Allestree Derby, circa 1985
That 1st steve hodge story was so funny.
In todays woke world, there will never be another brian clough. In sporting competition that the way it is, its supposed to be competitive, and so funny the stories about brian clough.
Heres a story about Brian Clough , Forest where playing Man U in the League cup Final , Clough goes into the ticket office and takes 10,000 tickets for the Forest end, does not pay for them , they ended up in the hands of Man U fans sparking crowd trouble at Wembley and Clough pocketed the money .
Once you hear the Crossley Sunday league story you will never forget it.
For a very funny but slightly sad story about Cloughie in his declining years as a manager, listen to Dean Saunders talk about how Clough tried to sign him.
Excellent
We need a Cloughie film, imagine it, him as a player (he was a really good player!), through his managerial years (including all these iconic funny stories & his relationship with Taylor) through to his retirement and then passing.
We’ve had Damned United, let’s celebrate his achievements and sense of humour too!
Between the ages of 10 or 12ish I went into a newsagents in West bridgford with my mum & bought a lucozade and couldn't open it.. this old man said 'come here ya puff' opened it for me and patted me on my back quite hard and said go on mummy's shouting ya.. outside my mum said my dad's gonna love that.. it was Brian clough 🤣🤣
A few young players might not go off the rails if they were handled like that! Genius how he spotted players who might start showing signs of self-importance and quickly deflating them and keeping them grounded no matter who they were. The fact he took time and effort to do it showed them he cared. What a great "manager". I love the story of him going in the Wimbledon dressing room and smashing their boom box after Vinnie persisted in playing loud music. Even the Crazy Gang respected Mr Clough!
