Brian Howard Clough, OBE 21 March 1935 -- 20 September 2004 was an English footballer and football manager.
As a player Clough was a prolific goalscorer with Middlesbrough and Sunderland, scoring 251 league goals from 274 starts. He also won two England caps, both in 1959. Clough retired from playing at the age of 29, after sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage. He remains one of the Football League's highest goalscorers.
In 1965, Clough took the manager's job at Fourth Division Hartlepools United and appointed Peter Taylor as his assistant, the start of an enduring partnership that would bring them success at numerous clubs over the next two decades. In 1967 the duo moved on to Second Division Derby County. In 1968--69, Derby were promoted as Second Division champions. Three years later, Derby were crowned champions of England for the first time in the club's history. In 1973 they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup. However, by this point Clough's relationship with chairman Sam Longson had deteriorated, and he and Taylor resigned.
This was followed by an eight-month spell in charge of Third Division Brighton & Hove Albion, before Clough returned north in the summer of 1974 to become manager of Leeds United -- a surprise appointment given his previous outspoken criticism of the Leeds players and their manager Don Revie. He was sacked after 44 days in the job.
Within months Clough had joined Second Division Nottingham Forest, re-uniting with Taylor in 1976. In 1977, Forest were promoted to the top flight and the following season won the league title (the first in the club's history), making Clough one of four managers to have won the English league with two different clubs. Forest also won two consecutive European Cups (in 1979 and 1980) and two League Cups (1978 and 1979) before Taylor retired in 1982. Clough stayed on as Forest manager for another decade and won two more League Cups (1989 and 1990), but could not emulate his earlier successes. Forest were relegated from the Premier League in 1993, after which Clough retired from football.
Charismatic, outspoken and often controversial, Clough is considered one of the great managers of the English game. His achievements with Derby and Forest, two struggling provincial clubs with little prior history of success, are rated amongst the greatest in football history.His teams were also noted for playing attractive football and for their good sportsmanship.Despite applying several times and being a popular choice for the job, he was never appointed England manager, and has been dubbed the "greatest manager England never had".

I met Brian Clough at Old Trafford during a reserves game. I was scared, he had that reputation of clipping fans around the head but my dad was adamant I go and ask for his autograph. I was only 9. He didn't only give me his autograph, he sat me next to him and started asking me about my favourite players and talking me through the game - a true gentleman - a true legend. (oh and he agreed that Bryan Robson was a great choice for favourite player)
Bobby Robson was FC Porto's manager for two and a half seasons, winning us two portuguese league titles and one cup. And he achieved all of this playing an entertaining attacking football never seen before or since. He's the right man to introduce us to another legendary manager, the one and only Brian Clough. Nice documentary. Cheers from portugal. RIP both Brian and Bobby.
Love how Sir Bobby Robson gave him so much respect. Two of the greatest English managers ever. RIP Legends!
So true
Bob Paisley ?
Fully agreed. Well said sir
@@pablojablo6371he said two of the greatest not the two greatest
@@pablojablo6371 Bob Paisley was Scottish.
Here lies the once called the beautiful game when players played football for the love of the game not money when managers got more time and owners put money into the club not there own pocket thank you Brian Clough for the beautiful game
Yep the best
True 👍⚽️
On shitty pitches, in shitty stadiums and shitty tackles
Nothing more than overpaid and underworked posers these so called footballers today wrapped up in cotton wool. None of them deserve the money they get.those people who represent the health and safety of England should be on mega money as there's nothing more important than saving lives and protecting lives.
Oh harrowing it is to watch wankers running about in pink boots with no character no skill , but millions of pounds to fund their sad lives and magnificent egos, while they run over the embers of a once great game
Brian was amazing, as a forest fan I’ve always believed that. But the way he got great results was with Peter Taylor who never gets anything like enough recognition. RIP both legends.
💯
I couldn't agree with you more 👍
@@SUPERCJJOHNS87 💯
I'm not a supporter of any of the clubs he managed but his achievements are absolutely incredible.
Me either and he to me he’s the GOAT
Love Brian. I’m a Forest fan from the 80s, from when I was born, taken to City Ground as a youngster and followed them ever since, now 40 and living in Brighton, still a massive Forest fan . When I’m feeling low, watching Brian Clough brings me back to life. Come on you reds!
251 goals in 274 games for Middlesbrough and Sunderland. Just 2 England caps. Ridiculous! RIP Brian Clough. Legend. ❤️❤️❤️⚽️⚽️⚽️
most of it in the second division
@@garykrakow2383 Same as John Aldridge
Apart from when John Aldridge was scoring goals for fun in the First Division with Oxford United and Liverpool.
The football played by Forest back then wasn't just total football, it was an advert for the sport.
from a Manchester fan of the time and still today, Brian Clough the best man England never had and never will God bless the man RIP
Utd or City or just a fan of Manchester itself?
I'm a City fan and gutted he didn't wait for an extra month before taking the Brighton job. We could of had him..
Summerbee, Lee and King Colin with Clough and Taylor..
@@fingersTitanhadn't Francis Lee left for Derby by then??
Im A life long Leeds supporter but Mr Clough will always be up there with God...
Got all of his books and sone of it makes for a very diff take on football..
RIP Sir... we will always remember you fondly x
No one like him........football genius, how we miss him RIP Brian
I liked him :)
@@mikehunt1528 No he said theres no one like him!!
@@eddiepower3876 I know mate... It was mean't as a joke.
Totally Hemp you wasn't joking you ment it
It's true, people tend to forget that he was nearly as good a striker as he was a manager. But for that broken leg he could have been one of the best ever, I believe.
Probably one of the greatest strikers in the post-ww2 era, if not among the best on history
Sorry, he didn't break his leg. He ruptured his knee ligaments - which is a much worse injury. Bones can heal, if you tear a ligament your playing days are over.
Cloughie was loved in Scotland
To do what Brian did with Derby and Forest will never be done again , from 2nd Division obscurity to League Champions , and to win back to back European Cups is amazing RIP Brian and thanks for the memorys , and also Barry Davis who is my favourite commentator
Blackburn Rovers
@@CARLIN4737 What about Blackburn Rovers ?
@@johnruby147they won back to back European cups
@@edmundpower1250 B;lackburn won European cups? Wtf are you smoking soft lad?
@@johnruby147 Jack Walker did that, Clough did his.
Complete genius, a legend, if only the FA had the balls to a point him England manager, we wouldn’t have waited so long to win the World Cup again, RIP big man you are missed deeply😢
Im a life long man utd fan like my father and grandfather, my dad love brian and always said the best manager never to manage england. RIP legend ⚽️
He is someone I never tire of watching, listening too or reading about, I admire the Man & the story of Brian Clough as a Spurs supporter who grew up during his career as a Manager. There is no doubt he suffered when his dear old pal Peter Taylor died, they may not have spoken for many years but their love for each other was still there for sure, on hearing the sad news of Peters death, Brian wept uncontrollably it is said, I imagine it hit him hard & he would regret he had not spoken again to a dear friend & never will again...
It’s his own fault, too much pride
@@ipoulter9765 Aye right, too much booze as well!
He didn't become a heavy drinker until the last couple of years of his career.
This is true, but something we are all guilty of in one form or another, one thing I teach my kids, if you fall out or we argue do not leave or go to bed until you have kissed and made up.
Who knows what is around the corner, you live only once.
People forget that cloughy was a brilliant striker aswell as a manager
for div 2...
Cai Charlton the league structure and where players use to end up was very different back then, when he came back he scored 1 in 3 in division one for Sunderland. He scored 40 goals a season for 4 or 5 years, and played for England, he'd have done it in the top division.
He didn't !
Yeah man he was quality, huge stats
Probably the greatest of all time in Britain as in the way he achieved things 👏
The man who made all this Forests fans dreams all come true!! I will always be grateful!!
Brian Clough was a unique football genius - both as a player & as a manager!!!!
R.I.P Brian, NFFC Legend....... Thanks peter Taylor as well
I'm a Forest fan YOU REDSSSSS
Youuuu reeeeddddds
Watched this documentary years back and thought it would be a great time right now to revisit this genius
What a English Hero, God Bless,Mr Clough ❤
Not just a footballing genius but a great champion of the working classes. Clough was hated by the English 'establishment' & despised by the old buffoons running the FA. In 1982 the FA doomed English football to decades of mediocrity after failing to appoint him as England manager.
I agree that Clough should have got the chance... however it perhaps wasn't as obvious or clear-cut as you suggest. Because by 1982, Clough had stopped winning things. His golden era was 1977-80. Too short.
@@SMSJSC Yep...here's an excellent piece on this..www.linkedin.com/pulse/england-under-brian-clough-would-have-been-dangerous-team-kutwaroo/, a long read i warn you..
@@SMSJSC If he become England manager with Taylor at his side he would have got rid of the backline that Greenwood used (Neal and Thompson) at the start of the 1980s...developed a strong wing play under Coppell/Barnes/Cunnigham, given Cowans and Hoddle regular caps and brought Morley in..Alvin Martin would have been partnered with a Young Butcher and Regis also given a run out and caps..He would have built a team for the 1982 World Cup..Derek Statham would also have been the left back not Sansom and played Viv Anderson as well..i don't know though how he would overcome the loss of Keegan and Brooking though in 1982...Maybe played Francis and Mariner more effectively together..(jack charlton went to town on greenwood saying Francis should have been feeding off a deeper Mariner and it plagued England in the second round '82'...who knows though..!
I was lucky to have been at Nottingham university during Forest's promotion and then winning the league. I then moved abroad and so all my memories of Cloughie are from the great years and that is as it should be.
The game is sadly missing manager's like Brian clough,
He is one of the greatest football characters ever known to the game. I have always loved Mr Clough. From a Wigan Athletic fan. RIP Brian.
Brian Clough, What A Man,
I was at the City Ground for Cloughie's last game in charge,. I was supporting The Blades. We were singing his praises and the match was tinged with sadness as we sent forest down.
That was one of the few mistakes he made. Staying at Forest for 1 season too many. If he'd retired at the end of the 1991/92 season, he would have gone out a lot happier I think.
The greatest manager England never had. R.I.P Brian Clough.
2 Great Managers, Brian Clough, And Bobby Robson,
Thomas Jones p
2 Great England Managers Brian Clough And Sir Bobby Robson,
Only 3 genuinely great English managers - Clough, Paisley, Robson. In any order.
@@DMakMusic Paisley was Scottish.
@@gibson617ajg Paisley was born in Hetton ,County Durham. Very much England.
One Of My Heroes. I'm not even A fotball fan, Brian had something, Genius.
A bit of charisma too 😄
Brian Clough and Peter Taylor the best duo in football ever........
He is without doubt the most colourful man to grace the English game. Great sense of humour. Didn't take crap from anyone and had the undying loyalty of his squad. Can't have been that bad a guy.
Clough was nothing but real.. a passion for football.. the thing with Clough was__ football is a simple game, played by people with a love for the game.. if you didn't have the love and passion you got sacked.. simple as.... we all know passion and loyalty is long since gone from football... where do we go from here... take your hands out of your pockets lad... enough said..
the guy who played cloughy in the dammed united was amazing
Simply the best. RIP Brian.
Shout out to Barry Davies.... did Cloughs first Forest interview as new manger, and his last. Such mutual respect at the end
Am from Nottingham and he was such an inspiration on my life. To be yourself always and do things your way irrevelant to what others say, do or think. Sadly missed.x
Love Brian Clough, great manager, such a shame him and Peter Taylor never made up, they were a beautiful, successful partnership
Thank for the video of Brian Clough and the legendary Peter Taylor . It brought back some good old memories 😀
When it comes to the FA, Brian Clough wasn't one of your typical nodding dog yes men, yes sir, anything you say sir, that the FA always wanted, so he had no chance of ever becoming England manager. Shame really, as I would have loved to have seen him in that role, and I think he would have done a better job than many of the past England managers. I will always see him as one of the best managers England never had !
Steve Mills I think politics was also a factor. When the job was up for offer in 1982 he was the perfect choice but he made no secret he was a Socialist and with Thatcher in power an England manager with those politics wouldn’t have gone down well.

Your right Brian Clough he did not get England he was to outspoken he was a brilliant manager what he done with Derby county and Nottingham forest take them from the bottom of the second division right to the top of the first division plus to back to back European cups wins with Nottingham forest is remarkable I think he possibly been good England manager but the fa didn't want because he spoke his mind he wasn't yes man right up there with Alex Ferguson Bob paisley bill shankly
I'm sure when Bobby Robson was interviewed, he said he saw Brian Clough at the Interview as well and Sir Bobby thought Cloughie was getting the job and the other interviews were a mere formality
As a blade, that last match at the city ground was bitter sweet. It's probably the only time I can ever remember being somewhat sad at the outcome of a match where we'd won. It's also the only time I've seen both sets of fans remain in a ground at the end of a match to celebrate the career of a genius and give him the send off he deserved.
2018 and still a Champion!! RIP Brian Clough
I've been a Manchester United supporter since 1963 and have seen the ups and downs. The one man I wanted to see replace Matt Busby when he retired was Brian Clough. The one man I wanted to see manage England was also Brian Clough. He was call 'old big 'ed' and rightly so, but Cloughie backed up his words always and never pulled a punch. His record with both Derby and Forest stands as a testament to his genius. There will never be another one like him.
Remember all Brian cloughs success stories had a man called Peter Taylor in them,, Taylor told clough not to go to Leeds United and didn't go with him, and just looked what happened, clough was the front man, and was brilliant at all that media stuff, but Taylor was the brains, and advised clough in many things
His experience at Leeds brought serious reflection. He totally misjudged the room.
Correct. He was arrogant and thought he could insult all the players and they would just accept it. He soon learned how wrong he was!
And where have leeds united been since he was sacked (fired)
That's irrelevant. I was talking about the reason he was fired. Stick to the point
C B it isn't irrelevant because it is proven they played dirty and he wanted to change the culture of winning the right way However they acted like spoiled brats and complained to the board almost like half of the modern day players especially at manchester united who choose the brat pogba over mourinho and then they stank the joint for 6 years before winning a trophy
@@VallanoMedia801 It's *totally* irrelevant because the discussion is about him being fired, and you asked what Leeds won since he was fired. 2 totally different things.
Give your head a wobble, hater.
Legend of the game, player and manager
Clough The Bloody very best! Rest in Peace Great Man, Genius.
Even as a player he was way ahead of his time. If he'd been manager of the early 1970s England team we would have won the world cup. What a brilliant team that was. Arguably better than the 66 boys. RIP
He was great. loved his no nonsense approach and said what he meant. Great player as well
The biggest problem I have about assessing Brian Clough is people generally pay no attention to what Peter Taylor contributed. After all Clough was not as successful without him.
Next documentary would be been about ;
Jose Mourinho | The Greatest Manager Portugal Never Had
I definitely feel like Portugal football nation team will be regret the same situation as Clough for England as Mourinho never had a chance to try to coaching Portugal after all the job he done with Porto that literally had 80% of homegrown portuguese player to won UCL
So true, if Mourinho was the special one then Cloughie was the extra special one. Would have helped England win a number of big trophies, as would have Jose with Portugal. Relief for Zagalo at last.
Forget the modern day European Cup...
Forest winning the European Cup twice, in the late Seventies is for me, without question, the greatest of triumphs by any British club, ever. I'm an EFC supporter btw.
Absolutly the most charismatic football manager of all time, im a Man u fan and revere Fergie, but he was at Man u, What clough did at Forest is nothing sort of extroadinary, no one will ever take a 2nd division relagation candidate and make them a European powehouse in 4 years, unsuppassed!!! If he was in any other country he would have managed the national side, he would of won the world cup for england, but the fa never had the balls, such a waste!! He also never gets credit for the way his sides piay, lovely football, great disapline . Just Awesome, a football savent!!
Fave manager of all time ..mr Brian clough..
When Martin O'Neil asked Cloughie "why do You keep putting Me in the second team?" Cloughie replied "Because I don't have a third team!" 😆
teesside legend
Clough and Taylor best Trainer partnership
Pity they spent so much more time on his demise than on the 2 legendary European cups - that's journalists for you.
A genius the best manager in the world rest in peace legend
He was football god rest in peace Mr Clough I was a young lad following forest fabulous times and fabulous players I miss him like he was my own dad the best X
Great words from Barry Davies
I'm not British but as a die-hard British football league and Man United fan since I was born in the mid-60s I have to admit that Brian Clough was and still is the best football manager ever. I am very confident to say that had he stayed at Derby County they would have won the European Cup and had he became England manager they would have won the World Cup a second time for England. He is by all means the Muhammad Ali and Pele of football managers.
We are still looking for a great manager. Always respect to Brian Clough one of us.
Is there anyone in Hartlepool reserves now like John McGovern that could be shaped and groomed to win League championships and European cups ? Probably not, but Clough did that with almost all of his team. Shilton was the exception, but Clough took 'has-beens', 'naughty boys and other clubs' no hopers and fashioned them into arguably the greatest club side the English game has ever seen. He, with Peter Taylor's help, was the greatest English club manager of that or any other era.
Well said.
What a man!!! Loved this guy
The man didn't walk across the trent bridge on match days.. He didnt need to.. He glided on the river trent's surface itself.. Defied logic and questioned doubts on himself. Proud to of served u gaffer.. N proud to say I am a fan... A block
We had a good man over the river at Meadow Lane Jimmy sirrel R.I.P.
Well said mate
County in top league in 1982 Pedro Richards and co
T O P !GREATEST MANAGER Yes Thanks
Legend.
What a treasure! A personality that kept players on their toes, a nation that listened whether they liked or the opposite and a world that seen.
Brian Clough was a very unique trailblazer that change the course of football history, that will never be forgotten.
Reminded me of my old dad they certainly do not make them like that any more You were a true footballing hero and the game misses you all the best Young Man
I know it does not mean much too anybody here but I am going through a really bad period right now. I am a hard core soccer fan but only for USMNT and a 20 year vet US Army. don't expect anything to get better for my team or country but it would have really made my day to make the WC, Brian Clough always used to make me feel a bit better lol because of his never give up attitude, hope the best English National team in 2018. Fight hard and Fight right.....
Tom Fitzgerald cheers mate. Hope life gets better for you soon. England in semi finals now.
Fellow vet here. My father was military stationed in the south of England and that’s where he met my mum. So, I love all football lol and cheer on both US team and England team. I suppose I’m lucky in that. Not sure what you mean about “going through a really bad period right now” but I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I know I’m a complete stranger but I’m here if you need to reach out to someone.
Cheers mate
Absolute legend
Should have been made England manager
Brought tears my eye's, couldn't believe how good we were, clough and the great Peter Taylor xx
Absolutely love this man too
Definitely one of the best
Am not English, far from it,.but revere Brian Clough. Working class hero, great great manager, and htf is his goal scoring/ playing record not given its just dues. One of a kind.
The beautiful game reflecting life.
Great video, loved the production and the subtle way they used music of its day...
Character and a genuine mans man!!
The greatest manager England never had I was there when we blades relegated forest thousands of blades singing his name in respect rip Brian ❤
I loved Brian's dry sarcastic wit
Brian Clough, Was An Old School Manager, Witch Is Lacking, In Th Game, Thease, Days, Cheers Thomas,
I've got this picture in my head of Clough going up the stairs to lift a cup, instead of usual captain.
I've just searched for it and can't find it. Did I just dream it?
No, it happened, I think it was the simod cup.
I love his voice and just have a proof of his existence in the world! Amazing guy ❤
inspirational
There was amazing and enthralling characters in football back in the day. I miss these days
Michael Sheen is such a brilliant actor!!
Thank you this made me laugh and made me cry what a man god bless you Brian
Not just the greatest manager that England never had, but the greatest manager EVER! As Roy Keane said "He wasn't just a good manager, he was a good man!" RIP Brian

I reckon if given the chance he would've won the World Cup with England. R.I.P Brian Clough.
Best manager forever and always
His achievements are no match for Bob Paisley and as a Merseysider who supports Everton, I am not afraid to say that. 💙 NSNO
How would Bob Paisley have faired at at Forest?
How would Brian Clough have faired at Liverpool?
