We lived near BC’s first Derby house and went carol singing there once - we must have sung perhaps 3 full carols, getting more and more nervous until eventually he opened the front door, said “well done lads” and emptied his pockets into our collecting tin! He was the most charismatic football manager this country has produced.
@@josiekaposie5783 I’m not sure what the “bull” refers to? When Cloughie first came to Derby he lived on Ferrers Way in Allestree [before he moved to Quarndon] just off what was the main A6 Duffield road in those days, I lived on Gisborne Crescent was 15 minutes walk away. Or perhaps it was the “charismatic “ bit you didn’t agree with - well it’s only an opinion and I’m sorry if you disagree but that’s life.
I'd listen to Crossley all day long. I've nearly crashed the car because of him. There's a genuine affection and retrospective respect in everything he says about Clough.
I can’t be the only one who’s watched hour upon hour of Clough content on TH-cam, and I don’t even support Forest, Derby etc. I’m not even old enough to remember him fully as I was a young child just before he retired Yet somehow I suspect that I hold the record for ‘most Brian Clough content consumed on TH-cam’ 😂 Thanks for the upload
MR Clough was and still is a legend! He his kept alive at every game by the wonderful support from generations of forest fans. MR CLOUGH looking down now whould be proud all though im sure he'd have a few words of advice as he always did. Long reign the one and only MR B CLOUGH
I used to do a paper round for his brother... and one day when I came in to pick up a huge backpack of the 'Evening Post', I saw a blue S class Merc in the forecourt... and.... in I went, and there he was, sat by the post office till. It was like god himself had popped down for a tea.
Everyone in the comments saying he was a bully and a nasty piece of work, but every player that speaks about him has a twinkle of love and loss in their eyes as they reminisce about him
Crossley does the best Clough impression out of all. Also Crossley was definitely the first keeper I saw, possibly the first full stop, who was punished for picking the ball up from a pass back. I think the reason he did it was because the defender played it back off his thigh. There were no opposition close to him, so I can only think he wasn't sure of the rules. I believe the pass back rule was only brought in after 92 Euros, do so would've been the first PL season. I'm sure we used pass backs when we won the last first division before the PL started
That's funny but if Cloughie said it he is quoting someone else as its an old football joke. It was in one of my early 60s football annuals when Clough was still playing.
The boss of the company I used to work for had an executive box at Forest and he knew Cloughie very well. One of the stories he told us was about a very well know player who was on the verge of signing and then it all went quiet. My boss asked Cloughie what happened and Cloughie replied "Nobody who has syphilis is going to play for this club."
Try and get Russell Slade. He was at County when he was doing his coaching badges and had to go to Forest every week. He deliberately went early knowing he would be asked to have lunch. He’s got so many stories ( who hasn’t!)
Back then football was great, almost tribal. Many of the players stayed with the one club for years. Back then manager's were leaders who made managing the players their number one priority. Especially manager's who had once been great players like Brian Clough . All that stopped when players were taken over by agents. Now what have we got, managers' having to deal with teenage footballers who think they know it and quoting what their agents have been filling their heads with with. England has become a magnet for footballers rom all over the world. Good or bad? I can't say. But it lessens the number of talented players that the England manager has to pick from.
i met a guy who was the director of tarmac in tesco whilst having a coffee we spoke about football and he said cloughie was great as he would open and site with ribbon for him and didn't want a penny donate it to charity he said whilst other manger's (RON ATk) wanted a new drive putting in and cash top man cloughie
What impressed me about Mark Crossly is that he said he was dropped for the cup final for being a naughty boy, could you imagine todays footballers accepting this there would be no toys left in the pram. Cloughie was the greatest.
I always feel sorry for Mr Chipperfield when these videos end. It sounds like he had a great time in Nottingham and following Forest for all those years and it must be sad for him to be away from all these people he became close with.
There has, but I can't remember the title. A very good book about Brian Clough is "Provided You Don't Kiss Me", by Duncan Hamilton. He was a spotrs reporter for a Nottingham paper when Clough was manager.
When he died I heard a story from an ex player. Cloughie had dropped the player to the reserves, so the player went to his office and asked cloughie why is he in the reserves and clough responded because you are too good for the thirds. 😂 Would love to know who the player was.
Tommy docherty once said to Alex Forsyth a good Scottish right back for Man utd in his exciting mid 70s team when a Alex said why am I in the reserves the doc said because the third team haven't got a game 😂
The word legend gets banded about a lot but in Cloughies case even that word doesn’t come close. In the late 70s, early 80’s Cloughie and the Great Peter Taylor where a thorn in the side for us on the Kop, respect and eventually reverence his how those great men are viewed in football circles in our city. like us he was left wing in his politics and never forgot his working class roots. The Great Striker and manager Brian Clough.
Here's one story that's not mentioned with regard Mr Clough. Jimmy Gordon was his trainer at Derby & Forest & he relied on Jimmy a lot. Jimmy an old Pro was paid a ordinary working man wage. After decades of service he was granted a testimonial with Forest v Derby. Clough told the Treasurer he would be having some of Jimmy's money for the 'club' ie his wallet. After the game Jimmy eventually went to get his money which after any expenses came to £7000 which should have all gone to Jimmy but Treasurer said Mr Clough had already been down & took £3000, his cut. This is fact. Despicable on a man who had very little to show for a life in football bar his undoubted loyal service to Clough.
Golden Rule when recounting a Brian Clough tale: you *must* do the voice. Also good to see Steve Hodge join the likes of Evel Knievel and Guy Fawkes amongst the pantheon of big bottled johnnies
Steve Hodge should've played for West Ham. They appreciate proper players, and play the same game Clough preached. Teams like Forest, Surs and Leeds dont. Would've been able to dictate the game there. West Ham isnt about bullshit. No dictators, just happy memories- every day.
Yes imagine the civil servants of today who get a minister sacked for bullying because he told them their work was not up to standard. Cloughie would eat them!
Great videos! Another story that could be added involves Roy Keanes time at Notts Forest. Roy didnt play well in this particular game. After the game, Cloughie actually floored Keano with a punch! No way am I a Roy Keane fan,(▪and i am Irish,live in Cork and am a United and Ireland fan) ,but he was way out of line this time
I personally believe Clough was the best British manager ever ,others won more but would they have done the same as Clough with the resourses he had at Derby and Forest. Leeds were mad to sack him their massive lose Clough went on to greatness Leeds relegated with Clark in charge ,this from a Chelsea lad.
Biggest downfall of football today.. greed. And all the kneeling, that’s why after 40 years of watching and doing my best on a football pitch I’ve lost interest. I’d rather walk my dog.
That's why agents appeared. Managers complain about agents but if players had not been exploited so pernicious by clubs they would not have been needed.
Forest though, used to bore me so much, I used to leave the ground early, even watching them play in the Euro cup games, boring boring, 1-0 0-1, 1-1, 0-0, England where not much better with their 1-0s lol, But, Forest always reminded me of Russian teams during the Cold War, Boring Football...Boring results.
@@Andy-uw9cg This is well beyond the 'world going soft' In one video the player states how Clough would sabotage a players career if the player wanted a move. He clearly enjoyed having power over people and using it. No wonder Don Revie disliked him. Revie came out far better in their TV row and Clough didn't know how to handle someone who wasn't afraid of him
@@dannypaterson888 he was a brilliant manager, and there's lots of true stories about his generous nature , in football and out of it.. he had flaws don't all humans .. but he wasn't a narcissist.

I've worked with a couple of narcissists and Ive talked about the positives of narcissism, like their motivational powers and 'never give up' attitude' Bekieve be, in any kind of battle you want the narcissist on your side But Clough was a narcissist.. They only turn real psycho and ruthless with people they feel don't also believe they're amazing.
Trevor Francis said same once, when he was badly injured he said Clough blanked him & wouldn't allow him to travel to the European cup final, unnecessary but as far as football as in onfield achievement he was excellent

He was a football miracle! Best achievement ever in the history of world football, BC = Before Cloughie! 🥰

That’s class
Scots Colin said to me, "There was a party in every pub in Dundee on the day that Brian Clough didn't get the England job".
Cloughie and Shanks were cut from the same cloth. God's among Men
I love Mark Crossleys impressions of Cloughie, and also his funny stories.
I'd listen to Crossley all day long. I've nearly crashed the car because of him. There's a genuine affection and retrospective respect in everything he says about Clough.
There must be hundreds of anecdotes. Never get tired of hearing them.
Glad you like them!
Im a big notts fan, but my heart always will be with cloughie, the worlds a poorer place without him.
Imagine him after dinner speaking!❤
Notts? It's either Forest or Nottingham Forest.Unless your talking about t'other lot.
I'm a Leicester fan, but love these stories about Cloughie, and Mark Crossley is a genuinely funny bloke.
I'm a Celtic supporter who loves these stories from other clubs and managers...Clough was incredible
Incredibly arrogant narcissistic
What shines through with all these stories are Mr Clough was respected by everyone. You cannot buy that hey
It doesn’t matter what team you support or love, Cloughie will always be the best manager for entertainment and charisma 😂😂
Spot on , we'll never see his like again , absolutely no bullshit about the man , disgusting he never got the England job
We need a film of the WHOLE of Cloughie’s life and put all these stories in it! Imagine all the highs and lows of emotion.
The damned United
I can’t be the only one who’s watched hour upon hour of Clough content on TH-cam, and I don’t even support Forest, Derby etc. I’m not even old enough to remember him fully as I was a young child just before he retired
Yet somehow I suspect that I hold the record for ‘most Brian Clough content consumed on TH-cam’ 😂
Thanks for the upload
I was walking my dog two days ago and I walked by his grave 😊
Cloughie was a bonafide legend and right up there as one of the best managers ever. Forest's gain was englands loss as he would have been amazing
It's so funny that all these players do amazing Brian Clough impressions! 🥰😆
First time I’ve heard these stories and had a good chuckle, they’ve brightened up my day. 😂😂
What a fantastic man Cloughie was, Total legend. Funny stories 😅😅
Nice video Chippers, you can never tire of the Brian Clough stories they are classics 👏👏👏👍
Glad you like them!
The story of Cloughie flooding the pitch at the Baseball Ground when he fell asleep in the stand is an all time classic
Great stories to listen to makes everyone smile cant help but have respect for cloughie pure gem.
Me dad grew up with cloughy in grove hill went to school together iv a pic of them both in the school team 1949 marton grove school .
Deano’s story about Cloughie trying to sign him is the best.
MR Clough was and still is a legend! He his kept alive at every game by the wonderful support from generations of forest fans. MR CLOUGH looking down now whould be proud all though im sure he'd have a few words of advice as he always did. Long reign the one and only MR B CLOUGH
Love Cloughie and Mark Crossley.
I used to do a paper round for his brother... and one day when I came in to pick up a huge backpack of the 'Evening Post', I saw a blue S class Merc in the forecourt... and.... in I went, and there he was, sat by the post office till. It was like god himself had popped down for a tea.
Still love that Cloughie buggered off early when we were playing Luton, playing awful, and missed Des Walkers one and only goal... legend
Everyone in the comments saying he was a bully and a nasty piece of work, but every player that speaks about him has a twinkle of love and loss in their eyes as they reminisce about him

No, the first goalkeeper to get done for picking the ball up was Neville Southall and that was at Forest
Boss, he's injured bad, he's hurt his head, he doesn't even know his name.
Tell him he's Pele and get him back on the pitch.
That's funny but if Cloughie said it he is quoting someone else as its an old football joke. It was in one of my early 60s football annuals when Clough was still playing.
John Lambie was the manager linked to that quote. Another of a bygone era.
Big Ron Atkinson famously said that about Remi Moses at United in the early 80s
The boss of the company I used to work for had an executive box at Forest and he knew Cloughie very well.
One of the stories he told us was about a very well know player who was on the verge of signing and then it all went quiet. My boss asked Cloughie what happened and Cloughie replied "Nobody who has syphilis is going to play for this club."
Absolutely loved Cloughie..called my wee pug after him ..he was just a thawn as the MAIN MAN C LOUGH ...💙💙
One of a kind.R I P Brian.
Wonderful memories.
Try and get Russell Slade. He was at County when he was doing his coaching badges and had to go to Forest every week. He deliberately went early knowing he would be asked to have lunch. He’s got so many stories ( who hasn’t!)
Great Video . Crossley is hilarious

The George Raynor biography is highly recommended regarding his influence on Cloughs overall career and life.
What impressed me about Mark Crossly is that he said he was dropped for the cup final for being a naughty boy, could you imagine todays footballers accepting this there would be no toys left in the pram. Cloughie was the greatest.
Players wanted to play for him.
Thats what made him great.😳
I always feel sorry for Mr Chipperfield when these videos end. It sounds like he had a great time in Nottingham and following Forest for all those years and it must be sad for him to be away from all these people he became close with.

Has there ever been a book written about Brian Clough's anecdotes, it would be a best seller.
There has, but I can't remember the title. A very good book about Brian Clough is "Provided You Don't Kiss Me", by Duncan Hamilton. He was a spotrs reporter for a Nottingham paper when Clough was manager.
A quality book I would also recommend too. Cloughie also called Duncan Hamilton "Sh1thouse"
I read a book some years ago that was cloughy himself. I remember him talking about being a patient in hospital and talking to the surgeon about golf
150BC is brilliant
When he died I heard a story from an ex player. Cloughie had dropped the player to the reserves, so the player went to his office and asked cloughie why is he in the reserves and clough responded because you are too good for the thirds. 😂
Would love to know who the player was.
I think Martin o Neill
Tommy docherty once said to Alex Forsyth a good Scottish right back for Man utd in his exciting mid 70s team when a
Alex said why am I in the reserves the doc said because the third team haven't got a game 😂
No he said because we haven’t a third team.

Just a genius 😊

👍👍👍👍👍 can’t wait to see it.
His wife said to Cloughie, "God, your feet are freezing".Cloughie responds, "you can call me Brian in bed, love".
he was a AWESOME COACH just wish ENGLAND F.A had the baxxs to let Brian clough be the ENGLAND COACH he do well as there COACH R.I.P
Im a Liverpool fan love cloughie
An ironic comment given your username and his disgusting comments about Hillsborough.
The best Manager England never had
Brian used to come to our school in Derby nr the baseball ground looking for talent he said to me you'll never make a footballer lad ha ha

Can't imagine todays players playing for Clough, they wouldn't last five minutes
Crossley .... 5mins to sign new contract. 4mins / 3mins 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it must of been class playing under Clough
Did Steve Hodge get his transfer?
Went to Villa then Spurs then back to Forest and was an England international. Good player.
What kind of car was it.
Lamborghini three wheel special !
Ford Escort XR3 👌
Yes but he got them 2 stars above the tree. It’ll never be done again
Crazy. This would never happen now
Boro’s own ❤
Cloughie would have been top draw in the army
Never was there a manager that should have run the national side like clough football was all the worse for this epic cock up by the FA
And look at it now.
chippers has mark crossley got a paneria on his wrist
Looks like it.
In hearing these Brian could have been more nicer/respectful to the guys with their individual concerns. A different time/era though..
Yes imagine the civil servants of today who get a minister sacked for bullying because he told them their work was not up to standard. Cloughie would eat them!
Gloughy was the greatest. What kind of car was it. ???? Cheers.
At least get his name right!
Xr3i
Jigsaw jigsaw 😂
He went to dean Saunders home to try and sign him Google it hilarious 🏴
Also not true

@ I’m at the Man City v Salford game later on today.. let’s have it Salford!!
I admire Brian and would have loved to try and wind him up probaly losing
Signing blank contracts. And Cloughie was a Labour man?
I enjoy many of the clough stories, but what he did to steve Hodge was bang out of order..
but he was vindictive, and he would bury you in the reserves .......ouch....
That's why agents appeared. Managers complain about agents but if players had not been exploited so pernicious by clubs they would not have been needed.
Too many adds mate
Why couldn'tt he buy his own car out of his wages.
shudnt it be 4 more peter taylor stories clough was nothing without him when peter left were did forest go down the pan
Great manager but a nut case
Supposed to be a great man manager....just appeared to love humiliating them.
People r woke these days one of if not the best manager ever mr not michelle

Back to back leagues & back to back European cups
Boring?
Judging by these stories, he sounded like a nasty piece of work.
Clueless that’s you one of the best managers ever look at his record mr notmichelle
Clough was nothing without Peter Taylor.
Yes he was he was just better with him,all these young people have no idea
You tool
Don't understand why all the fondness for this man, he was clearly nasty who used his position to bully younger people under his charge.
These stories make him sound like a pretty unpleasant, borderline abusive person.
As oppose to an extremely unpleasant box ticking woke and virtue signalling Creep.
I know which one I would prefer.
Oh look, the WOKE brigade have arrived!!
This is why players wanted agents. Clough was a bully.
