#NFFC Nottingham Forest manager Brian #Clough interviewed on Clive Anderson show circa 1994: talks Peter #Taylor, England team job, #Birtles, Tony #Adams, Clive's an #Arsenal fan et al.
I've bought all the Brian Clough books and can't get enough of clips like this. A good interview. Nothing seems to phase him and he has a real gift of quick wit and management control
I think he was a fascinating character anyway, without the football. DUncan Hamilton's "Provided You Don't Kiss Me" is worth a read. Very poignant but some funny moments too. The book starts with Clough banning him from the club.
Possibly 2 or 3 out of 4 - '78, '82, '90 '98 (I know we never qualified for '78 but this shit is hypothetical) Would have been possibly at least 10 different names in each of the 4 squads and a completely different style of play - i.e not petrified of the opposition and everyone told to go out and express what they were best at. We are still in the same position with Southgate. We also were the same under Venables. Le Tiss would have been the player Clough built the team around then....like Spain did with the great Iniesta. Le Tiss was better than him! We have always been reticent to play the mavericks. Imagine if Frank Worthington had been Italian.....first name on the sheet. Harry Redknapp was our last chance as far as I can see.
My wife and I met Brian once at a book trade show and he signed multiple copies of his new book for us to take back to our bookshop.Had an hilarious ten minutes with him, lovely friendly guy with a real twinkle in his eye.Thank you Brian RIP.
He once punched Roy Keane in the dressing room after he kept playing the ball back to the keeper. Keane just sucked it up and took it whereas nowadays Clough would’ve been sacked and there’d be an internal investigation and multiple club statements.
Yes, he was a master of all that, a real natural showman. Well, much more than a showman of course, but he could doubtless have made a living in entertainment or broadcasting quite apart from football.
Brian was a one of a kind legend, true and open and never forget his Middlesbrough roots, RIP Brian, there will never be another one like you in football
First time watching this interview, so thanks for the upload. Clive Anderson with all his cunning wit, couldn't outwit Cloughie. Cloughie was a one-off. One of my favourite football managers.
Well put. I actually thought Anderson was a bit disrespectful during the interview trying to get a rise out of Brian. In fairness to Clough he tells it like it is regardless of who he offends. Sadly, he wouldn't be received well these days but what a man!
Good interview. Cloughie was always a good talker and it makes a nice change to see an interviewer capable of taking him on with banter rather than the usual boring deference.
Purely because of this wonderful man, and to some extent his equally likable sidekick, I retain a soft spot for Nottingham Forest to this very day. They don't make them like Brian anymore and more's the pity.
E.T. Wash your bloody mouth out "young man" Don't ever call us "Notts"... we are either Nottingham Forest, Nottm Forest, or just simply Forest. Just thought I'd clear that up for ya "OK" 👂🏼✋🏼
Gone for a long time now but watching Brian like this brings back memories what a great man he was...sorely sorely missed by everyone,loved to of played under him...everyone at a certain age can name everyone of his Nottm Forest players of the 2 European Cup Final Wins !!
So true. Cloughie was a staunch Labour man but can you imagine what he`d make of the party today? I often wonder what he`d have to say about all these soppy little woke warriors that have hijacked left wing politics. They`d have a complete fucking meltdown every time he came on the box.
Remember assuming (based on everything we were told) that Clough was past it when Forest went down and had succumbed to alcoholism etc. Amazing then to see him in this interview as sharp as a tack and full of charisma. If he’d managed nowadays he would have gone on for another 15 years.
As a Nottingham lad born and bred, I've great memories. He was the greatest manager we ever had at Forest... Took us from nowhere to European champions twice.. In fact turned average players into world class ones.. Him and let's not forget the great Peter Taylor had the midus touch that comes once in a generation etc etc...
I love that N. East accent (Michael Sheen got it spot on in The Damned Utd)... my mum's from Redcar, Cleveland, gran too............ and despite moving away, she's still got that accent.
He's not like you and I, particularly handsome. He was hilarious Brian wasn't he. His one liners are second to none here. Always having a bit of a gossip about someone but makes it sound so funny.🤣
Imagine what he'd say about modern day players...Told it like it was and took no s**t off anyone. He turned average players into European champions. One of the greatest managers ever and if he'd got the England job, we wouldn't be talking about one world cup right now.
I liked cloughie but I thought he got it wrong regarding Hillsborough at the time. I wonder if he was still with us today if he would change his opinion after the 2nd inquest ruled unlawfully killed?? I know he was there but so was thousands of forest fans. No doubt alot had the same opinion because that's what it looked like. But what they and cloughie didn't see was the police smear had already started, like when Graham Taylor went to superintendent Duckenfield and asked what was going on, and his reply .... Liverpool fans forced the gate!! He obviously forgot about the CCTV footage that would prove he lied. Shame really because scousers I think liked cloughie upto his Hillsborough comments. Anyway RIP Brian, you were a character and a half that's for sure!!
As a Scot I've said for years Football Snobbery at FA owe every England fan an apology for not allowing who would've been most successful England World Cup winning manager ever Clough I believe would've gotten England to regular World Cup Final .Don Revie couldn't lace Brians boots .Table off Football Masters has Busby Stein Shankly Clough & Taylor making the brew.
One persons comment of {His Hillsborough comments ruins his legacy} Is out of order Brian Clough was devastated and after that incident he was never really the same man. Truly he was the best thing that happened to UK football. Listen to his players talk about him. There respect for him says it all. Sadly never got the England job. That would have been something to have witnessed and we as a football nation was robbed. Great man always spoke his mind bless him and had decent morals
A man despairs to go through his life and nobody notice's him, Brian Clough was not that man, he was his own man through the thick of it, he died knowing that he made a difference, in more than just football, i admired his style, don't be a sheep, you will get noticed.
Cloughie was a master of mind games. Always kept his players on their toes. He could come across as abraisive, but I think beneath the veneer was a genuinely nice bloke.
Was at the City Ground on Saturday and the aura of this great man still resonates around it to this day. True legend of the game. God bless you sir. RIP Mr Clough.
Good to hear a man of such high regard just say the truth about hillsborough. As he says he regretted causing offence but that still doesn’t stop it being true
No, what stops it being true is simply that there is no evidence that any of it happened the way he said, and LOADS of evidence that it happened differently. The stubborn stupidity required to persist with Clough's bullsh*t version of what happened is amazing. And you have that amazing stupidity in truckloads clearly. He said Liverpool fans turned up late. They didn't, the people involved in the crush were all there well before the 2:45pm arrival time advised on the tickets. He said Liverpool fans were drinking in pubs when they should have got in earlier. They weren't, the alcohol intake was found to be unusually low for a Cup semi-final day. He said Forest fans got in early and with no signs of disorder. They didn't, and there were. There was a minor crush outside the Kop end of the ground around 2:35pm, and a gate was opened at that end to let scores of Forest fans in to lower the pressure. (Source: WPC Debra Martin.) He thought lots of fans were ticketless. They weren't. Subsequent analysis of the CCTV footage and the records of the stadium admissions system found that the attendance on the day roughly matched the ticket allocation. What ignoramuses like you - and indeed Clough at the time - don't get is that there was a bottleneck at the West end of the stadium, a serious one that had caused major delays to the starts of various semi-finals played at Hillsborough over the previous ten years. All the Liverpool fans had just 23 turnstiles to enter the stadium through, all of them crammed into a narrow concourse about 30 metres across on the corner of Leppings Lane. Just SEVEN of those turnstiles were the only access point for the entire terrace - 10,100 spectators - below the West Stand. The Forest fans had SIXTY turnstiles, spread thinly across the South and East stands. Clough was an asshole, crude, insensitive, sporadically racist, obstinate and bullying. But in fairness to him, even he admitted a couple of years later that he'd got this badly wrong. It's not just a matter of 'diplomacy,' it never was with him. What matters is that what he said was NOT ACCURATE. He didn't bother learning the real facts until later. It's clear you don't know them either, but why stand by the fake version when even Clough himself later rejected it?
Great guy who shoots from the hip! His comments about the Liverpool fans being responsible is not entirely correct. As we now know the reasons were mainly twofold. First & foremost the Police & management of crowd control was atrocious added to that the Liverpool fans who were being kept outside the ground were obviously becoming impatient as they didn’t want to miss the kick off. It was when the order to open up more access points that the rush ensued. I think the limited police presence outside the ground feared a riot & were pleased to see the fans move off the street & into the ground where they could be penned up & managed more easily. Very sad set of unfortunate circumstances & as a forest fan my sympathies to all those families that lost loved ones 🙏🏻
i went 2 a lot of footy in the 70/80s n it WAS an accident waiting to happen ,too many people allowed i with no tickets- turnstile operators always took cash for a pay day ,not like that went 2 the clubs .It happened week in week out at old trafford wembley klanfield all over the show . Cut to 1999 watching Blackburn v man city - from a field next to ewood park cos the fuckin best view[point ( a tree) all the tickets were sold for that ! :D we had a commentator in that tree,motty he was not! but brians right you can see there was an issue n no one backed off they kept pushing more people in cos thats what footy fans did
The word legend does not justify what this man was, there will never be no other like him, many will try to emulate (cough Mourinho etc etc) him but what a crying shame he never got to manage England. RIP sir.
Sad day for ALL REAL FOOTBALL FANS the day genuine master decided to retire .Suffered no fools genius who realised two could do better Clough/Taylor double act was football perfection .Earned seat at table off Football Masters Busby Stein Shankly Clough .Terraces Knight these fellows .That would've meant more too Brian than day at Buck Palace supping a brew with Lizzy .He with Shanks (Interview were Brian classes Shanks as man that has his total respect ,Smirk & twinkle in eye "He's a One Off Never be another Shanks ,Loved Shanks like a father) long before Dutch those two created total football ,keep ball on ground touch pass touch pass was their style simple but effective .Entertained In/Out dugout More earned seat at Masters Table off Football Greatness beside Busby Stein Shankly Taylor ,Clough Nobody knows football could argue that Plus I fully believe Football Snobbery BS had given Brian the England Managers job with Taylor they would've been the best ,most successful Manager they ever had I reckon would've stamped their style on pitch ,selected best English players to fit style & would've Won major Tournament World Cup plus for to few finals no doubt in my mind .As Glasgow Rangers Fan I would've loved Clough at Ibrox .His Character our support ,passion for football ,his style Inc media excellence what experience that would've been . Terrace bows to you Sir Brian Clough RIP
Brian was a true northern lad who certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. God, if he'd stuck it out at Leeds the sky would have been the limit. I thought he was great and would have loved to meet him, I'd have been overawed. RIP Sir.

He is missed what a charismatic person, R.I.P. Brian Clough.

He certainly had Anderson's measure ...
Brian Clough was a 1 off. He should've been Sir Brian Clough.
Possibly 2 or 3 out of 4 - '78, '82, '90 '98 (I know we never qualified for '78 but this shit is hypothetical) Would have been possibly at least 10 different names in each of the 4 squads and a completely different style of play - i.e not petrified of the opposition and everyone told to go out and express what they were best at.

Wish he was still here loved this bloke definition of the word legend
What a character, what a man. Shame we don't still have the likes of him still involved in football.
He'd never succeed in modern football...great for his time though
@@jonjohnson1978. No he wouldn’t, but that tells you something about today’s society and mentality.
He once punched Roy Keane in the dressing room after he kept playing the ball back to the keeper. Keane just sucked it up and took it whereas nowadays Clough would’ve been sacked and there’d be an internal investigation and multiple club statements.
Says it all with a dead straight face, you can’t help but love him for it
Yes, he was a master of all that, a real natural showman. Well, much more than a showman of course, but he could doubtless have made a living in entertainment or broadcasting quite apart from football.

@@saab2906 Very good point. I hadn´t made the connection before. Obviously had a certain father-figure influence on Keane, now that you mention it.

Sad day for ALL REAL FOOTBALL FANS the day genuine master decided to retire .Suffered no fools genius who realised two could do better Clough/Taylor double act was football perfection .Earned seat at table off Football Masters Busby Stein Shankly Clough .Terraces Knight these fellows .That would've meant more too Brian than day at Buck Palace supping a brew with Lizzy .He with Shanks (Interview were Brian classes Shanks as man that has his total respect ,Smirk & twinkle in eye "He's a One Off Never be another Shanks ,Loved Shanks like a father) long before Dutch those two created total football ,keep ball on ground touch pass touch pass was their style simple but effective .Entertained In/Out dugout More earned seat at Masters Table off Football Greatness beside Busby Stein Shankly Taylor ,Clough Nobody knows football could argue that Plus I fully believe Football Snobbery BS had given Brian the England Managers job with Taylor they would've been the best ,most successful Manager they ever had I reckon would've stamped their style on pitch ,selected best English players to fit style & would've Won major Tournament World Cup plus for to few finals no doubt in my mind .As Glasgow Rangers Fan I would've loved Clough at Ibrox .His Character our support ,passion for football ,his style Inc media excellence what experience that would've been . Terrace bows to you Sir Brian Clough RIP
Excellent stuff from Brian.
You can buy a CD about Cloughs interviews from your Local BBC Radio station as well as Georgie Best and Ali , great to listen to these men's views.
loved the fella down too earth said it how it was x❤😊
Great to see Brian looking so well and being on great form in 94. A Year before at Forest at the end he wasn't too great.
I agree! Clough looked much more healthier and youthful here than he did even a year before this
Best manager Derby ever had.
LEGEND💯
Clough was a character and his football managerial record speaks for itself
That jab at Arsenal, very quick witted!
The one and only......
Think Clive thought he could tie brian in knots ,especially after his drink problems ..however brian was eloquent and on top form
On Tony Adams. “He’s a bit like a dog in our street.” 😂😂Brian was my hero as a kid and he still is.
what a character love him
The bloke was a legend pure genius RIP brian⚽️⚽️⚽️
Brian at his best alongside Peter Taylor would have won England a trophy...........they loved to play football down on the pitch where it belonged!
BRIAN CLOUGH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL
"Magnificent"
Cloughie at his best !!!
Brian on excellent form here. What a man!
This guy is a genius. He managed this conversation so will. Intelligent and entertaining
Brian was a true northern lad who certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. God, if he'd stuck it out at Leeds the sky would have been the limit. I thought he was great and would have loved to meet him, I'd have been overawed. RIP Sir.
What a legend. Don't make em like him anymore. Would have died to have played for someone that good.

Legend simple!.... Birmingham fan
Shankly, Busby, Ferguson, Stein, Clough, George best managers in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, such Legends of GB🇬🇧
Clough legend. Forest have never recovered post Clough.
He got them relegated, his successor got them promoted and finished third. Never recovered, load of shite.
@@SteRDLK got relegated again though shortly after, spent 23 years in the 2nd division, even now, struggling to stay in the premier league having spent a fortune.
Legend 👏🏼
