Look how healthy he looked here compared to his last game with Forest. One of a kind was Clough. My dad tells a story of when he was a young footballer in the Nottinghamshire area in the 80’s. He got injured and went to the city ground to see the physiotherapist (dad’s mate). He was sat waiting in a corridor and Clough is walking down the corridor towards him. Green jumper, short white shorts and a squash racket in hand. Looks at my dad and says “Good morning, young man. Cup of tea?” He replies “Yes please” Clough then says with a big smirk “No, I meant get off your arse and make me one!!” Clough walks off, reappears a minute later with a cuppa for my dad. What a character.
Brilliant story. Thanks for sharing
Sounds like Shit from China to me..........a bit far fetched .
My kind of humor👍🏼
wow. he met my Hero.coyr
I could sit and listen to Brian Clough all day.
So could I even (or perhaps especially) when he's as pissed as a newt, like here !
no not pissed he was ill get the facts right and dont talk bollicks do that on twitter or in the pub with your matesi
Woody Woodperson - I don't normally banter with plebs who can't spell ('bollicks' ??) but your unpleasant tone pushes me into an exception. Look at the date you pillock, in 1997 he was still well and truly on the booze, and he sounds it here, though, as I did point out, he's still very much worth listening to.
Woody Woodtit - Grate, a wurd yew kan spel propurly. (Did you see what I did there ? I started spelling words like you ! Cheerio pleb, give my regards to your social worker.)
Too right
“They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I wasn’t on that particular job.” Just one of Cloughies many legendary quotes. Great player, great manager, great man.
@64Fabby x
brilliant !!,,,massive sense of humour also ...Miss these guys ..
The best England manager we never had. Clough spoke a lot of sense.
Paisley was the best English manager of all time! But i sense Clough may have been a better England manager! Öne a club man the other a hi-res hand!
And he spoke a lot of dribble. Bless him x
@@elizabethevelyn9761 to be fair, what Clough did with two provincial sides, Forest and Derby, was nothing short of miraculous.
Paisley, basically, finished off what Shankly had already put in place. Yes, Paisley won 3 European cups. But Clough won 2, with Forest, knocking Paisley's Liverpool out of one!
Evertonian here , that man is a LEGEND, honest as the day is long .
Good to hear Clough talking up Martin O'Neill. They had a tricky relationship at Forest but this shows the underlying respect Clough had for him.
Cloughie would be highly critical of Martin O'Neil's abilities because he knew on the pitch, Martin would work extra hard to prove him wrong. Good man management and psychology by Cloughie knowing how to get the best out of his players.
Just look at the players he had at Nottingham Forest..good, yes but not world beaters - and he won the European Cup two years in a row with them. That's his epitaph.
Forest are just an average Championship club that get lucky now and again . They ain't nowt special . Had he tried his hand at Basford utd we would have really seen how talented his managerial skills were .
@@ianbain8838 You a county fan? Lol
@@autisticfitness176 Bollocks am I . Basford utd is where I loiter every alternate Saturday or the odd midweek game . Up the U's/lion's .
@@ianbain8838 Never heard of them.
@@ianbain8838Basford Utd would have been European Champs under Brian Clough.
What he did at Forest was incredible.The best manager ever.Talks sense.A one off .Loved listening to him
And Derby
We don't have palm trees in Middlesborough. What a proper legend
Still miss him to this day. A fantastic character who livened up the game. Rest in Peace, Brian.
Totally agree with his comments about Gascoigne
" I wouldn't say I'm the best football manager in the country but I'm in the top one " .. Best Cloughie quote ever.
No one should ever underestimate his achievements with small clubs. A truly great manager with 2 European cups. Everyone should read his autobiography
Cloughies book is hanging up in my Toilet just in case I need some emergency arse wipe .
😂😂😂
@@ianbain8838 🤣🤣🤣The good news is, he wrote a few books, get them all and have a good supply!
@@ianbain8838 sheep shagging BASTARD. Is it warm down there?. C.O.Y.R. HA
I remember that his family owned a newsagents in West Bridgford in the 80s. I must’ve been 7 or 8 at the time and went in the shop one afternoon with my mother. Guess who was sat behind the counter!? He requested a handshake so I offered my left hand. His reply was “that’s a tramps handshake, son” and proceeded to shake my right hand. I was an easily intimidated, wimpy kid but I remember the kind ,warm vibes Brian was giving off and I felt at total ease with him. He had a massive heart. He genuinely loved his fans and we adored him. Great manager, amazing man.
What sort of a prat offers his left hand for a handshake?🙄
@@CB-xr1eg A kid 7-8 years old who does not know any better. You are the prat.
@@CB-xr1ega child as he said - okay mr perfect? 🙄
Simon still owned the newsagents when I lived in bridgford till 2005. Got Mr Clough’s autograph twice when he was holding court there in his chair in the shop !
What an unforgettable genius.
Colourful, complex, charismatic. Genius, legend.
Brian Clough RIP
The greatest manager of all time. Man management was world class and let's not forget BRIAN CLOUGH AND PETER TAYLOR were the inventors of assistant manager. Ground breaking legends!!!
Fantastic man. Best manager England NEVER had. Sorely missed. 😭⚽🏆
Represented a golden era of English football which to many younger fans didn't exist because football to them was born in 1992.
Robin Pillay that's bullocks. Why is it I find that Liverpool fans in particular throw this statement about? Is it that a name change affected the structure of Liverpool? The Premier League began in 92 and no one can escape that.
Mr Babangoh's Service Charge Collector because people seem to have forgotten everything that happened before. People talk about be great players but can only name the ones in the last 25 or so years! Funny really!
1rst golden era for Liverpool fans certainly. As a United fan that was born in 92 and started watching them in 98, that’s what i know. I don’t know about Liverpool and their success pre 92 because I wasn’t around.
Mr Babangoh's Service Charge Collector so you’ve never heard of Hitler?
Mr Babangoh's Service Charge Collector I’ll inform you if you want? Liverpool dominated European football like no other English team has done before or after... true domination as in 4 European Cups in 7 years! Hope that helps. ✌️
Such a shame he retired due to ill health at 58 wished he stayed on for another 4 years at least and had a proper crack at the premier league. RIP Sir Brian always in our hearts
Paul Walford Amen
Paul Walford I didn’t know he was only 58 Jesus that’s young when you look at today’s managers and how long they are around for, I think in the end he was a tired looking man who needed a rest.
Ian Dowd He did, he looks so much healthier in this interview when compared to his last game at Forrest. could almost say he looks younger too
Paul Walford Drink ruined the man in the end. If he weren't an alcoholic, he could have managed for another 10 to 12 years.
James Henderson, what a fucking horrible thing to say.
A wonderful manager,a sad loss to football,nobody like him around ,love to hear him speak about the game,thanks for all the wonderful memories
I don't agree with everything he says, but he is one of those people that are always worth listening to and always have something worthwhile to say.
Cloughie you in my heart
NOTTINGHAM FOREST Clough the best manager we ever had
Thank you Brian Clough for telling the world that the most amazing players do NOT become the best football managers. He was so right. And that is from a guy who dragged 2 rubbish teams from the bottom of the 2nd division, and turned them into Englands best. He won a few European Cups too lol. With one of them teams. Yeah, Brian Clough became the best in Europe. He did it.
Thing is, Brian Clough was an amazing footballer too.
Interviewer: "Brian. What would you do if a player disagreed with you and suggested a different approach."
Clough: "Good. Well we'd sit down and discuss it for 20 minutes and then decide I was right all along."
A legend..he will never be forgot R.I.P. Brian 💯
Brian Clough. Peter Taylor. I miss them two heroes.
They're managing the Heaven XI now. They're getting quite good, just signed Maradona.
100%.
Brian Clough is one of the greatest of all time..would have adjusted to the modern pansies no problem..timeless manager..the greatest
And then you woke up .
I don't know that he would have adjusted to the modern players .but he would have made them adjust to him
Dear Brian. Gone, but not forgotten.
@@CB-xr1eg Brian being Brian, I can believe that! :-)
Brilliant assessment by Lee Chapman . Only players who played for him knew the real Brian Clough . A complete one-off . A maverick , but a genius manager who maybe retired a little late . Understandable because he became a manager at the age of 30 , due to a career ending injury at 26 ! RIP Cloughie .
Truly a great man.coyr. I met him . nottz b1966
How good was that pass from Mark Hughes. Brilliant vision - and even better technique.
It was a beauty.
A very forward looking dig at Lampard when talking about recently retired players as managers. He knew.
I'm sure every player who ever played for this man is very proud to have done so.. we all dream of playing with, and for, the best.. Brian Clough was the best.. we'll never see the likes of him again ...
I doubt it.......and....Thank feck for that .
They don't make genius men like clough anymore wat an absolute god send he was may u forever rest in internal peace mr Clough 💯💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿❤️❤️
The thing about Cloughie was this. He was hated.His mouth was massive. He filled every back page of The Sun. His face was always there. And he screamed swear words at his players.He was always winning. But always beside him was Peter Taylor. He was crucial to Cloughie. The chemistry them two had, you cant buy. It was pure chemistry. They invented it. And together, they both achieved miracles.
Clough wasn't hated at all. Neutrals loved him
@@BT-kc3ee A lot of his ex players will tell you he was a bully and he ruled by fear. They may look back fondly on their time with him but that's because him and Taylor brought success. Not just Clough, but Clough and Taylor.
Brian Clough is the greatest coach in the history of all sports. He is a genius
Hassan Ashkanani History of all sports? Nonsense.
@@MKRM27 shut up ,did anybody ask you ?
@@Alfascinoo Ashhanani invited a response by making idiotic and unsupportable comments, fuckwit, and MRKM27 is absolutely correct. Genius? Most over-worked word in the English language. That's like comparing him to Einstein. Newton and Darwin. BOLLOCKS.
@@DokktorDeth I'd also add that he didn't have the success on his own. He admitted he wouldn't have done it without Peter Taylor and his trophy total ( 2 league cups in 9 years ) proves that.
@@CB-xr1eg Agreed, Clive.
The Greatest character , along with Shankly .
Even when he's had a few he speaks more sense on football than most "experts" do when sober
A few? Just the one you mean. One bottle of vodka....
Poor bloke.
Legend. He might not have been the best football manager there ever was but he'd be in the Top 1.
Bollocks .
Bollocks .
@@ianbain8838 I'm quoting him 😉
@@thecanberean It's still bollocks.
@@CB-xr1eg Er...what is...exactly?
Today’s generation has missed out on this guy , he was something else RIP
When you consider what he did with Derby and Forest; Incredible manager.
We (the public) should not forget that Brian was also a great player prior to being a manager. He played all bar three of his league games in the Second Division and returned 251 league goals from 274 league starts- 213 starts, 197 goals for Middlesbrough- 61 starts, 54 goals for Sunderland. His career total including F.A Cup appearances and goals and Football League Cup appearances and goals along with the league with Middlesbrough and Sunderland- 296 starts in all competitions, 267 goals. A truly terrific record as Centre-Forward.
love this man
The media say Leicester's premier League win was the greatest. Just goes to show the media nowadays is made up of kids. Brian Clough's back to back Championship and European Cup triumphs are undoubtedly the greatest in any age. They say the feat achieved by Leicester will never be done again, Forest's achievement under Cloughie will never be achieved again. Guaranteed!!!! RIP Brian Clough The Greatest Manager England NEVER had. And I'm a Spurs fan
I will never shake in my belief that he was the greatest manager ever.
makes Mourinho look like a normal one
the ordinary one
the sober one
@@forgive7449 The gobby one!
He'd have won FA in Italy, Spain, Portugal.
All these managers are reading the book BRIAN CLOUGH wrote.
Brian Clough was a great man and manager!
God rest you Mr Clough. You were a one off. A good man who tried his best, and gave us a few laughs. We'll not see his like again
Not just a great manager. He scored 251 goals in 274 games for Middlesbrough & Sunderland!
Clough, and Shanks, possibly the best managers in english football
Still love listening to him - common sense
Very interesting. Wise man. Thanks for posting.
Missed greatly.Thanks Brian.
Brian Clough was/is a legend of English Football. That's from a Liverpool Supporter. Rip Cloughie
you got to love him...the peoples champion
He may have had a few sherberts inside him, but he still talks more sense than most sober people i know!
One of England's finest. No doubt there.
loved listening to him, can never get bored.
Ye I am a Mancunian and being born in 1981 I only remember the end of his career. I never tire of listening to the man. That is a legend for sure. Many flaws, funny rude, kind but brilliant most of all.
Mr Clough will always be The Greatest Manager Ever.
I remember the fa cup final so well. He was spot on about Gasgoine and it cost Forest the fa cup, they were the best team that day. Imagine VAR.... lol
Genius,one of the best in all aspects as others say could listen to sir brian all day never a dull moment.Sadly missed by everyone,even chairman I bet too.
What a person not only a manager my sons 17 not big football fan but loves clough
Nottingham is my birthplace, so I am very glad Brian Clough went to Nottingham. His talent as a manager is irrefutable, based on his results achieved and with a modest budget. Also he coached his teams to play beautiful football and he had a great sense of humour. It is such a pity that he never managed England.
There is only one brian,sadly missed never forgotten one of life`s true great men!!! RIP BRIAN.
SIR BRIAN CLOUGH. THE GREATEST MANAGER EVER BAR NONE. RIP FOOTBALL GENIUS
Recently visited the City ground. You can still feel his presence at the place. A man with standards and a great way to deal with players. I go to bed to dream, classic.
A superb(!!) collection of Crown Derby on his walls!! Also - respect to someone who delivered great results with Derby County & Notts Forest. His fresh & controversial approach was just what was needed to turn around the performance of those flagging clubs.....
I work in further education as an engineering and aerospace lecturer and frequently have as a boss a person who knows nothing about education, aerospace or engineering, often an accountant. Of course I am nowhere near Cloughy, but identify with it being a lonely job to have a boss who isn't qualified to even appoint me, let alone assess my ability.
+Michael Smitten 'That's why people become football club directors, because they know bugger all about the game...' Brian Clough. Michael, what you wrote could be me talking !
I also work as a tutor assessor at an engineering college and suffer the same frustrations academic managers who have no idea about engineering or man management,all they know about are targets and budgets, clueless buffoons
Michael Smitten accountants are always meddling in affairs of business hey know nothing about. I worked with one for years and he was always poking his nose in and in meetings would come out with some of the most embarrassing suggestions in front of high calibration people. I would never work with an accountant again.
wow, straight honest talking, how much do we miss this ??
Fascinating to listen to him as always. Sometimes almost poetic ... “And I dream ... Good dreams”.
I know nothing about football but this guy had something special
Thanks for the memories Cloughie!
My mate Al met Clough a few times. On Friday night they would stay at Lea Green a Derbyshire sports Centre, away from the press.
Kevin Hector went to the local pub The Jug and Glass to buy a bag of crisps. When Clough found out he humiliated Kev and told him to fuck off , your not playing tomorrow. True story. Loved the bloke
I wish my club Manchester United had appointed him as their manager after Busby. We would have dominated the seventies.
Brian the football world misses you big time🇨🇮⚽️
Why the ivory coast flag?
I remember watching this football focus back in the day it made me sad He was not well but by god he was the man bless him Old Big Head✌️💚🇮🇪
It's funny because the media caught on to that big head narrative but actually he was a very humble fella, as was his team.
The greatest manager England never had
I'm a Tree before and after BC with family and friends now departed. We lived it and couldn't believe it at the time, still pinch myself. God love you Brian, hope you've come across me dad, brother, brother in law, et al (long list) . Truly the greatest manager ever.
Marvolus chap that Brian and the game will never see the likes of him again!!
IM 56 .
I still think of him and quote him everyday. God bless Brian. coyr
In the same time that Mourinho was taking an already winning, well-paid-for team and winning a league, Cloughie was taking a team from the second division and winning two European Cups (back when ONLY champions could ever enter it, not top 4)!!
Unbelievable what he achieved!!
Mourinho winning the Champions league with Porto is a great achievement
Mourinho won the UCL with porto after coming to them when they were 5th in the league
A great man
Wonderful....Haven’t seen this interview before,he looked healthier in the interview than he did at the time he was retiring.
The best manager England never had.
We miss Brian Clough. I could listen to him about football all day.
Who's WE........
@@ianbain8838 The prats who blow smoke up his arse.
Clough is de man a lovely guy and the greatest! Even Muhammad Ali said so 🙏🙏🙏
"Football is meant to be played on the ground, not through the air." Only English manager who seemed to get that decades before anybody else. Legend.
Love this guy, one of the best managers of all time!
I watched Cloughies Forest at Villa a few times in the eighties and early nineties and they were always an away team that were entertaining to watch. Wish there were similar managers to Brian Clough in today's sterile football.
I would’ve loved to have met this legend.
The best manager England never had!!!....R.I.P
Makes a lot of sense...wish he had been born in Scotland. Great man.
Relegation aside. All my fond memories of Forest is when the Cloughie was at the helm.
When we come up from the championship and finished 3rd in the Premier League in 1994 wasn't bad either.
An Icon of English football and an amazing man
Absolute Genius . Imagine if we had him running the country .
“ There are no Palm Trees in Middlesbrough “. Classic Clough .
You can see he's fading away, his time is running out but what a man the greatest England manager that never was
A jolly good talker and deliverer too until his final season
Legend pure
" We Don't have Palm Trees in Middlesbrough" Are you sure Brian ? Thought I seen a couple outside ICI Works Legend 1 of our own
