Clough - The Brian Clough Story (2009)

- 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of Nottingham Forest’s first European Cup triumph, masterminded by Brian Clough. A provincial football club broke and slipping towards Football League Division Three when he took charge, had conquered England and Europe inside three years. He achieved many great things with the clubs he managed, most notably Derby County and Nottingham Forest which would be considered impossible and unthinkable now. Clough would probably disagree but he was more than just a football manager.

The more you watch on Brian Clough the more you realise what a absolute legend he was.
So glad he told the truth about the drunk fans.
Has a statue in 3 different cities; say's it all. BC in Derby means ''Before-Clough' .
@@db0800 He told the truth about the drunk fans.
Watch, not watch on
he told the truth about everything.. @@JamesRichards-mj9kw
Every one sings of the Ferguson's and Mourinhos, but this man (and Peter Taylor) took two second tier sides Derby County, and Nottingham forest to promotion to the top tier then the title of the top tier in successive seasons. Nottingham Forest then won the equivalent of the champions league two seasons on a trot. He didn't have the resources of a Manchester United or a Chelsea. What happened is literally unparalleled. A sad man, over opioniated, but in my opinion the best football manager of all time.
Sir Alex took an average Aberdeen and broke the old firm and won the league 3 times. Won the Cup winners Cup by beating Real Madrid.
He then took an ailing, mid table Man Utd, promoted youth players and made them world beaters. Sir Alex is as great as people say.
DrAxe Dharme Ferguson is one the best managers so all time but this myth that he achieved all his success at United with young players is false he spent money on players like pallister Parker Webb Hughes Bruce McClair Irwin cantona schmeichel ince granted some these were bargains but they made up the backbone of his first two titles which then allowed the class of 92 to be intergrated in gradually
@@jamesmarshall2961 he did buy players no doubt but like you said, he didn't spend 100m on any of them like we see today.
@@AxeDharme we only broke world transfer record once, with Pogba.
Fergie made British record transfers quite regularly. I think half of the players listed there (plus Roy Keane) either broke British transfer fee outright, or was the most expensive transactions in their positions. they were the $100m purchase of their times.
@@jamesmarshall2961 it's not quite fair to lump Sparky with the rest of them. After all we should never have sold him in the first place.
I have total respect for Johnny Giles for the way he sticks up for Brian Clough about the lies that were written in The Damned United . Respect Johnny , RIP to Englands best manger that they never had
johnny giles a class act
I was just thinking that watching fair play to the guy
Giles always used to say on Irish TV that clough was a genius and Bobby Charlton one of the greats of world football.neither in his opinion got the credit they deserved
And he knows, like all the Leeds players of that time, that it would have been Leeds United lifting the European Cup under Brian Clough and likely more than one championship. My dad, a life long Leeds fan, football referee of some note, personal friend of Billy Bremner, Eddie Gray and Peter Lorimer, despite the issues at the club and his loyalty to the players, was utterly heartbroken when Clough left Leeds... I remember him talking to me about it, I was 10 years old, "that is the worst decision the club have ever made son, we've just let the best manager in the world walk away from our team". And he was right. RIP Brian. Respect.
Yes, I like the way he said he didn't like Clough, but his family couldn't do anything about the BS. So, he decided to step up. He was also defending himself, but to go to bat for the Clough's was big of him.
my brother-in-law made this and it's fucking brilliant.
Best comment ever! 😂
What a great success story and what a lovely lady Barbara was.
you can definitely tell that she was the rock of that relationship. he was a lucky man to have a wife like barbara.

I'm a lifelong Notts County fan, and even I hero worshipped the man. What Brian did for My City was totally amazing. He turned Forest into the best team on the planet. Imagine if He'd been given the England job. An absolute legend.

I'm Scottish from Glasgow. Clough needs a film made out him. No, wait...
Very FORTHRIGHT man, Brian Clough. @Simon Barnett
Yeah, complete respect and very well said. However, not forgetting that other genius from the other side of the Trent, Jimmy Sirrel.
Have a word with your fellow County fans who inexplicably hate us, won't you?
I grew up in the Midlands in the 1970s and it wasn't great except him and his mouth and the beautiful football he got his teams to play. I remember Nottingham Forest beating Malmo, you didn't need to be a Nottingham Forest fan to love Brian Clough. He gave us all a little bit of pride. He spoke the truth and was true to himself, a great role model for anyone. Rest in peace Brian and thank you for the great childhood memories.
I remember him leading a man dressed as a clown or something off the pitch by his ear lobe I thought that was typical Clough
I had a tear in my eye watching this ...the reason I loved football in the 70"s and early 80"s was men like Mr Clough .
Me to
Salt of the earth men such as Clough, Bobby Robson and Jack Charlton are what give those days such fond memories.
Yeah me too bud ❤
Fantastic documentary about Brian Clough. Done with respect and genuine affection. There's a very good reason Nottingham Forest supporters live in the past. They were the greatest football team, led by the greatest football manager.
I'm an LFC fan, and I have a huge amount of respect for Forest and I wish they were in the PL. I hate the way modern football rolls.
Rangers supporter saying a beautiful tribute to Clough. Wish we had him as a manager back then. RIP Brian
Greatest football team lol
@@jayratz9392 between 77 n 80 they were an off there own backs dethroned liverpool who were europes finest . no sugar daddy club just good management
So well put. Thank you for your kind comments sums it all up beautifully. Fair play 👌
A true Legend of British football. What a manager.
Probably the most charismatic, likeable and honest manger to every grace British football. If there’s anybody in my life who matches his charm and wit I’ll be a happy man
And he knew your lot were a bunch of villains up there 😉
@@undercoverbrother67 funny comment 🤔 could you post a clip of the great mans saying this ?
@@gmc2652 Search it yourself. Wont let me post the link.
His son has made championahip manager the computer game into a reality. Taking Burton from nothing to a championahip team. At that level he managed everything from ticket sales to water orders. Underrated. Where is the recognition?
He never did that you forgetting Jimmy Floyd hasslebaink ?? Clough made burton noticed but a couple of famous managers also managed them
A wonderful documentary about a genuinely wonderful man.
Brian Clough made me smile, as he lifted the European Cup. Twice on the bounce. He made me smile a lot. He lifted that little 2nd Division club , transformed them into the best, and i smiled.
Like that mate very nice keep smiling
Beautiful.
Yes, Leeds loss. Should have been them.
Brian Clough quote ''we all like to be liked, yet show me who is liked by every one''.
Best manager EVER-from a Manchester United supporter.
What a man, I'm 67 and a spurs fan all my life but i love watching anything to do with Brian Clough
Brian Howard Clough...LEGEND :) Boro, Hartlepool, Sunderland, Derby, Forest...lets hear it for the man that was Brian Howard Clough
Legend....simple as that. A one and only RIP Cloughie
I agree with you.What a brilliant man.My late father called him "Mr Football".R.I.P.
And how about an RIP for Peter Taylor?
Or have you somehow forgotten that they were a team and won things together?
Yes, Peter Taylor was the talent spotter, the good cop to Clough's bad cop with the players. He was an important ingredient in the success. Without him Clough was never as successful.

Fully agree
Never mind the best manager Forest ever had, Derby County ever had, or England never had, the man was one of the best human beings the world's ever had. A lovely, decent and kind man. I'm a Scot, by the way, and I loved Brian Clough.
I'm Italian, i lived in Scotland from 2001 to 2007, how many scottish players there were in Nottingham Forest? i've heard quite a few in the interviews, Mc Govern? Burns?
I agree. Ultimately he was a devoted husband and father who stuck by his family through thick and thin and they remained loyal to him.
Likewise myself 😌
@@geoffreyjonathanwilson9932 Yes, i agree, totally, he was Unique, a real working-class hero, who never forgot 'The Little People', a true Legend.
You are a biased mad.
There will never be another Cloughie, he was a unique one off football genius & he's so bloody missed. RIP SIR BRIAN
Brian Clough. The man who made players dreams come true
The most extraordinarily gifted, charismatic, eccentric, English manager who's ever lived.
Robson never won the English league or European Cup , the big two. Clough did that twice with provincial clubs, no money and journeymen players, extraordinary. There was no precedent or antecedent of that in the English game.
And when you come back to me don't drone on about the UEFA Cup or Cup winners cup, they are not in the same League as the European Cup as it was back then. Becoming the champion of all the league winners is the ultimate accolade and Robson never did it, he didn't even win the English league!
completely failed at Leeds, one of the best squads in the country at the time.
@@viktoriavasiliev failed? You clearly missed something...
ZolaMagic25 Yes failed. Sacked 44 days in is failing. He was too arrogant and his man management skills were not good enough to handle that Leeds squad. But regardless of the reasons why, anybody anywhere who gets sacked after 7 weeks has clearly failed.
Great program. Legend of a guy. His wife Barbara lovely. Loyalty runs through the family. Nigel was a gifted player too.
Barbara does come across as a lovely person. Very illuminating documentary.
What Clough and Taylor achieved with Derby and Forest in such a short space of time is simply incredible.
Just shows you there's no I in team, hd took a lot of average players who didn't do much when they left and turned them into world beaters. Brilliant manager.
@@paulanthony5274But there is an I in WIN
Walking around a kitchen table,. listening to a football commentary as a kid. Forest playing in Europe, kicking a chair when they scored, rejoicing when they won and thinking of Cloughie and his little Forest - memories. He was magic. From 2nd division oblivion to Champions of Europe. How did he do it?
I have never been a fan of any of the clubs he managed, but I am a big Cloughie fan. From a humble working class family in Middlesbrough to one of the best managers whoever lived. RIP Brian and Barbara.
Never supported Derby or Forest but found Clough the most fascinating and charismatic character EVER in my 55 years as a football fan.RIP Brian.
Happy 59th birthday lad
As a life long Ipswich fan, this is the best football documentary I've seen... What a legend.
Not forgetting Sir Bobby Robson... he also did miracles with Ipswich and won the UEFA Cup. I Have a lot of respect for Sir Bobby in addition to Clough
Indeed the greatest Manager England never had.
Never realized how much of his dialogue in the movie is straight out of these old video clips.
OMG..... as a football fan through and through, I'm so glad I've encountered this. Definitely gave a new perspective on football.
As a West Ham fan, I can only regret Greenwood taking the England job.
No-one has or ever will have that CLOUGH MAGIC!
Chuffing Well done Derby County and Nottingham Forest, you had the gift cheers for Great Football.
The best english football manager ever....
The world of football seems so dull now by comparison.
More of a business now than anything else. Sad really.
Facts
It’s about money more than talent now
Don't forget that Leicester City won the prem three years ago.
Wolfgang Ambrus exactly, nowadays something like that stands out, in the 60s it would be normal
As a Yorkshireman and someone who also lived near Middlesbrough, I’ll never forget the joy and pride of Cloughie succeeding at Nottingham Forest. I can’t remember the Derby time - but the Nottingham Forest success was amazing. I stopped following football years ago now - but I still remember the good times - and Cloughie epitomized the best - as did Shankly, Paisley, etc.
Yes!
Never supported any of the teams he managed, but I recognise how great a manager he was and must have watched this about 5 times now, its a great tribute to a great man. RIP Brian Clough.
56.19 - A European Cup final pre-match interview.... With no top on.
Absolute legend!
he was a very special man and the best english manager ever, rip cloughie.
Here. Here.
Jason Karloff Where. Where?
Shame that your club ( owned by not a rich man but a country ) has ruined football ...they don't even own their ground !! We the people do ..the taxpayers of Britain.
"ruined football" completely disregarding Man United, Chelsea, Real Madrid spending £30m on players the past 10+ years...what a fanny. Just think next time you fill up your car you'll be funding our next superstar to play for the might blues!!! :-)
Brain and Peter were very close friends throughout their association in football
Morecambe and Wise
Lennon and McCartney
Clough and Taylor
And what have we got now? Ant and f***ing Dec?
agaskew we still got punch and Judy
lol
You hit the nail on the head there, I believe that social media and TV revenues have honestly destroyed that feel-good factor of watching a football game. Think about it, before sky sports or BT sport, the only way to watch a game live was to simply go to the stadium, so you felt special and lucky to go and thus, the feel-good factor. Now anyone with some money spare can watch from anywhere in the world. Social media too, any idiot can express their opinion - the only way to get around it is to ignore it or accept you can’t please everyone...
@@jacksayer9658 what a great point mate and the millenials have no idea about it... Talk to them and they tall you about every player... Because of their Fifa game rating.... They missed out so much
@@craigpearson7578 i myself actually missed this era and only saw 2000s onwards, i'd love to go back to the 70's and and im 19
Lifelong Gooner (49 years and counting), but Cloughie was a legend, a true football genius, a proud and principled man and remains one of my sporting heroes to this day. There will never be another like him.
What a brilliant guy he was - The Forest side he built was superb. Brian had charisma.
Brian Cough was a total hero of mine - I always wished he'd come to manage Arsenal! I would say this to the Clough family, the film version 'The Damned United' is a brilliant testament to the great man. It shows him in a really affectionate light and anyone watching the film could only come away with a real liking for his abilities and attitude. I think given what has happened this week with Allardyce that film is a refreshing and more honest look at football. Clough was easily the best manager England never had - it is a travesty on the FA they never picked him. Shame on those people - not that they seem to learn from their constant poor choices of England manager.
john vaughan that film is pure shit making Cloughie out to be a headcase dipso
john vaughan Ditto I always wondered that seeing how they indulged so much time in Wenger's less effective vision. This guy would have been hunted asap after the Leeds debacle.
Nothing in American sports stories comes close to this mans Legend. Incredible.
Being a die-hard Newcastle United fan ,I still always enjoyed watching and listening to Brian Clough. A real one-off and a true football legend.I would certainly never buy and read that damned book. Rest in Peace, sir.
That was Amazing. Brilliant Documentary
Really good documentary thank you. The last few seconds are priceless (after "Brian Clough thank you very much indeed" - and the man's silent smile). Someone in the documentary put it well: "Management everywhere in every walk of life do not know how to handle people like Brian". Very touching and heartfelt tribute.
Brian Clough: He was the man of my generation. I loved him. He was truly fascinating: the King of Derby. The King of the managerial style in all of football.
Dreams do come true. Not for everyone, which is how it should be, otherwise it wouldn't mean that much to achieve the greatest of greats. But Clough was a guy who said what he wanted, did what he wanted, had a vision, and worked extremely hard at making his dreams become reality. Legends never die.
Well said m8/
Most certainly a legend. And, yes, they never die. Clough was something special.
What a brilliant video of Brian Clough - the best English football manager there has ever been. Could have been the best England manager too but for the FA!
heard of bob paisley ?
But for his big gob you mean.
your bitter leeds utd are really a small team
" your bitter "? and you're fucking illiterate
These idiotic Clough worshippers seem to forget about Bob Paisley.
They just think the sun shone out of Brian's arse.
If Sir Brian Clough was here Today, England would have bagged possibly six World Cup Wins and he would be now running the country. No bull, no lies, just pure and utter truth. He will always be missed, from a West ham Fan and a football fan, there is only one, Brian Cough in charge of the Beautiful Game Icon, Legend, Beautiful Man.
Never really been a football fan at all, only in my schooldays, but Brian Clough's career, docu and film was mesmerising. A giant personality with immense vision. R.I.P. Brian and the narrator of this the wonderful docu, Pete Postlethwaite
Brian Clough will be the only manager who ever took a tiny team from the lower division, and turn them into the best team in Europe. The Champions of Europe. Not once. But twice. And in in a time scale that is impossible.. A few short seasons.
They weren't " short seasons ", they were the same length as they had always been.
you cetainly have an attitude problem or is it just lack of the english spoken lanquage
agreed, that will never ever be reproduced, it would be like QPR who are pretty much in the same position as forest where when clough and taylor took over, winning promotion to the prem league, winning the league, then winning champs league back to back, all in 4 yrs, it will not be done again
Wonder Hero That's actually incorrect. Bill Shankly did that with Liverpool. He turned a mid table second division team into a domestic and European giant.
but i think the point wonder hero is making that forest had no Big DNA, it wasnt in their culture, b4 shankly took over liverpool had been champions of england 5 times already, forest were a butt end provincial club,
man is a complete legend...England's loss
" When it comes to one-liners, few will come close to matching the brilliance of Brian Clough. " - Brian Clough
You don't last one hour and ten minutes watching the same youtube video these days, but this one just flew by. Clough was a dyed in the wool legend.
nigel clough has never been given the recognition he deserves. burton albion were in the southern league when he took over, now playing in the championship. never given a chance in the premiership ... , he is probably too loyal and too honest.
Shane Levene When did Nigel ever manage Brighton?
Shane Levene you know nothing John Snow
Shane Levene Made yourself look a prat there haven't you?
Peter Kehoe oof
He's a bottler as a manager. Sheffield United are a big club and he was terrible there. He's too happy in his comfort zone at Burton.
I love Brian Clough. The stories about him are amazing. All of them. The one where he jumped out of a locker to punch a player in the stomach because he had just got a red card, or the one where he signed Dean Saunders - Cloughie has a special place in my heart.
What a legend!
Brilliant documentry about a brilliant manager and he had the best personality in football that there has ever been. R. I. P Brian Clough.
He might not have been the greatest English manager in the history of the game but he'd be in the Top 1.
Thank you for this. A beautifully and lovingly made documentary which brings warmth to the heart and a lump to the throat. Nice one.
The bloke was an absolute genius.
Who's watch this in 2017. Miss Cloughie.
What !!!??.. Please explain what you are trying to say in real English.
He was only a miss on the third Sunday of every month. And it was 300 per hour no rough stuff
@@neillp3827 very good
Winning the European Cup twice with Forest was unbelievable, but actually, the Derby team he built were even better and they should one the European cup too. The football was superb; pass and move, exciting.
We should have beat Juventus but they fixed the game. Trust the Italians to add some good old fashioned corruption.
I'm a rangers fan
There will never be another like him unique is an understatement much love cloughie rip
God love Yee... I'll say a hail Mary for you
An absolute legend,, the man was one of those humans who manage to inspire you and also had complete respect.
my favourite ever football manager, the guy was football
The Austin Mitchell interview is so wonderful. Clough’s mischievous grin, the ‘ohhh I wanted to be sick’, the ‘I do believe in fairies’ - PURE charisma. Totally refreshing. Barbara was spot on - you didn’t have to like football to LOVE Brian Clough.
What a lovely wife Barbra
I am Liverpool fan and I would of loved Clough managing at Liverpool.great manager'great man and greatly missed.
DIRK FIZZLEFUNK Look Up What he said about Hillsborough... I think you’ll change your mind...
That Liverpool side was incredible then, and it's a huge tribute that for a couple of years he had little Nottingham Forest on a par with them.
On talent how many Forest players would be in the Liverpool side then? Maybe Robertson, maybe Anderson, Shilton and Clemance? Clemance played more often for England. That's the genius of Cloughie.
@@hazelwalsh3269 Yes, he was very wrong about what he said but at least he apologised for it later.
For all the money and selfish idiots in football through out the ages people like Clough can show there are some true greats and amazing people in the sport who just love football, life and family. There won't ever be a manager as honest or able to achieve what he did England's biggest loss. Yes you can win the European cup and play like Barcelona or come back from 3 down like Liverpool but no one will ever take a club from the bottom to the top again. One of the best
Claudio Ranieri? Didn't win the CL but still a remarkable achievement to win the prem.
Money has seen that Cloughs achievements will not be matched. Simply because any club coming from tier 2 will almost certainly have money behind them. Clough never had money at either Derby or Notts Forest.
It’s saying something that Johnny Giles is so critical about the Damned United book.
Geraint Atherton I know right, completely agree, it's saying a lot for Giles to come to his defense. Jesus it must have been some version of him in that book. At least the film makers kept their word.
He has seen he could take legal action on the back of this to make a few quid. He had great grounds. Lawyer advised that maybe didn't know he was still alive.
Choosing Ron Greenwood over Brian Clough for the England manager would be like picking Steve McClaren(again) over Pep Guardiola today,with players like Shilton.Keegan and Booking we might have been serious contenders for the early 80's world cups with Clough in charge
Booking? Hey hey ;)
I'd liken it to picking Raheem Sterling instead of Marcus Rashford (or Loftus Cheek) for England!
Brooking was a skilful player, but Clough was supposed to have described him thus; "Floats like a butterfly, stings like a . . . . butterfly"! As kids, I remember my brother and I laughing with incredulity when Brooking missed an England game due to "a painful blister". Most of us would have been prepared to play in bare feet if it meant a chance of playing for your country!
Red-blooded straight shooter, honest man, GENUINE tactical football expert, gifted with great insight, natural motivator, trustworthy and dependable. RIP Legend and genius. There is ONLY ONE Brian Clough.
Nottingham Forest, ex-European Champions, traditional bastion of English football - hope to see you back in the Prem sooner rather than later. Greetings from Arsenal... we know tough times too :)
An absolute and total legend, impossible to watch this documentary without huge emotion and awe for the man. Unfortunately he was undermined by the small-minded, who couldn't see that his imperfections, his insecurities, were right at the very heart of what made this man so great. A huge heart and an ability to inspire that is very hard to match, the greatest ever in my book!
i'm a lifelong Liverpool Fan and ex season ticket holder but even to me Cloughie is a true legend and the idiots at the FA missed a trick by not appointing him the England Manager, especially after he won the European Cup Twice with Forest.
Not enough cloughs about!!! But, then again, there was only ever one.. He is a legend from then, now and forever.. Gone but never forgotten.. Class!!
back to back Europeaan cups wow
Yep. When it was 2 legs and straight knock outs in every round not the shitty champions league they have now where u can lose 3 group games and still go through.
For me this doesn't get enough credit for what it deserves. It should be mentioned as much as Liverpool winning the European Cup, and I'm a Liverpool fan. What Clough and Taylor did was simply incredible
If only that brilliant tribute to Brian Clough had ended with that Frank Sinatra song ''My Way. Frank Sinatra was one of his favourite singers, and My Way totally summed up the legend that was Cloughie.
What a treat to find this amazing tribute to an amazing man , and I was especially taken with how the film centred around his family, his friends and what was amazingly good about the qualities both he and Peter Taylor brought to their teams .
Brian Clough absolute legend both as a player and manager, what he did at Nottingham Forest will never be repeated.
Brian Cloiugh had an ego, He believed he invented football. He certainly invented football management. God did he prove it.
I remember how gutted I was about Cloughie not getting the England job…. Seeing the news that night is still vivid in my memory….. that’s as a Londoner and West Ham fan……. Nothing but awe for the man…… great football and great character…..!
Brian Clough...what a man and what a manager...RIP you great man there will never be another like you.
He was greatest manager in the UK but there should be credit to Peter Taylor who was half the team. Peter brought them in & Brian molded them into what he wanted. I watched the Nottingham Forrest team coming from second division of the English league going to win the UCL, Championship those days. Not even Sir Alex Fergusen ever accomplish such a feat.
Definitely a one-off. what a charachter. You can see why David Peace wanted to write about him.
Used to hate him because i'm LFC. But now i can appreciate what a genius he actually was. LEGEND !!
@shog dite, ditto.
YNWA.
same i have tear in my eye lfc stood in the kopp
Brian Clough and his assistant Peter Taylor we're a brilliant alliance together and would of been the best England management we'd of had .Peter Taylor was his secret and had a great eye for spotting talent and recruiting players . Brian was a one off and sadly we will never see again in the English game .
good point, Taylor would have helped Clough build and select a very different team in the late 1970's, got rid of the England backline of Thompson/Neal replaced them with Anderson, capped Hoddle and Cowans alot more...emphasised quick wing play...and counter attacks
I never liked Clough but back in the seventies at Leyton Orient we had a centre forward called Ian Bowyer who had absolutely no self discipline. Us supporters were glad to get shot of him and couldn't understand why Clough had bought him at Forest. Clough made him captain and switched him to midfield and he won back to back European cups!
It sounds corny as fuck but its proof of some kind of human connection that can get through to player and bring out something special in them.
Much the same story with Kenny Burns. He had a talent for instilling confidence in people/bringing out the best in them. When he arrived at Nottingham Forest John Robertson was on the transfer list............
And that, my friend, is what you call.......Management.
Erm, Dave Mackay signed Bowyer for Forest, not Clough. Bomber was one of the five Forest ‘originals’ who were there when Clough arrived and went with him right to the head of Europe.
@@AH-be6bu I never knew Mackay managed Forest. In something of a twist, it was Clough leaving Derby that paved the way for Mackay to go to Derby in '73 and win the title in 1975, to back up Clough's 1972 title win. And then Clough obviously had the run at Forest from 75 onwards. One of those situations where both clubs and managers did OK from the swap....although Forest did far better in the long run
You talk about the greatest ever managers-Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Alex Ferguson. Brian Clough is definately up there with the best. RIP Cloughie.
all socialists- and Jock Stein
No disrespect but I find it amazing that nobody mentions Bob Paisley;
Football League First Division (6): League Cup (3): FA Charity Shield (6):
European Cup (3): UEFA Cup (1): UEFA Super Cup (1) - No Busby, not Shankley, not Ferguson not Clough came close to those stats.
You're right and a bit like Mourinho, he couldn't maintain it, for a variety of reasons, some the same, some different. You are making people believe, even though it's not true. The facade doesn't last long, even though you get the silverware. Management is a very strange business!! The players look back and think, "how deaf hook did we manage that"? Then, afterwards, they can't replicate it and that's a head fuck.
@@james09995 what?. Ferguson 13 leagues. Nobody comes close to him.
Bobby Robson, Bela Guttman, Carlo Ancelotti, Marcelo Lippi, Trapatoni, Mourinho
Liverpool fan here. I'd personally rate Clough as the best English soccer manager of modern times. Above any Liverpool manger and even Alex Ferguson. There is a sense that what Clough achieved boiled down even more than any other team's achievements to the manager himself. He made the clubs he managed successful and put Forrest on the national and then international stage front and center. He almost 'invented' Forrest and as Alan Hansen said from playing against them in every possible competition, "They were a real team in every sense of the word." He didn't win as much as some manager, but you knew what he did win as due to the 'Clough' approach and his partnership with Taylor.
I feel so privileged and and proud that i was there to see forest get promoted from Division one and then go on and create something that will never ever be repeated , when i bump to old friends we talk about the trips to wembley and across europe , it was like being on roller coaster ride , the thrill of it the excitement of this journey we were on , i had 2 paper rounds and a part time job at a working men's club to pay to follow Clough's Forest , i still have all my tickets from the game's , programmes , photo paper cuttings ... and when my time comes to depart this world they will go with me .. Thank you brian and peter and the forest player;s for bring such a special time to my life that could never beaten and always in my thoughts . Trentender N.F.F.C
Have been a Derby fan for over 50 years and even long after he left Derby, I remained a Brian Clough fan. What he did at Derby and especially Forest - both with Peter Taylor - was just incredible. I am way late catching up with this and got quite emotional watching it. Loved the contributions from the Clough family as well as the players, which, to my surprise, included some lovely words from Johnny Giles. Belated well done Gabriel Clarke and the team for this superb tribute. Still miss Cloughie.
Fuck the other film.
That was beautiful and brilliant.
He was the original ‘special one’.
God bless you Brian.
I still can’t believe he won the European Cup twice with Nottingham Forest. Legend …
loved by all regardless of club , respect from LFC
A truly remarkable man!
He is badly missed!
His legacy will last forever!
As much as I hate Forest but Brian was a legend at both. RIP Clough
Hey Chris - Brian Clough said the biggest mistake he ever made was leaving Derby County. To me, that's worth more than two European Championships... 😉👍🐑🐑🐑
This man ALWAYS manages to make me smile. What a character, totally honest, totally blunt, direct,no grey areas whatsoever.
He dared to speak against the old farts at the FA. When he talked, you listened. One of our own. SAFC.
RIP Brian. Legend gone.
proper gentleman R.I.P.
Back to back European cups a legend no doubt one of the giant's of the game
