I heard him on a local radio station with fans calling in. One caller said: "Well actually Brian I'm a Manchester United supporter". Cloughie replied: "Well when I was young I caught measles but I got over it" There's only one Brian Clough. Legend.
football was a working class game - those were the days. Now there is no loyalty and players come and go just for the pay check. Cloughie represents a golden era which is no more......god bless him
The world needs people like Brian Clough,they are characters they stand out from the rest of us and make us think a little different, not just the opinion of the masses.He had is own opinion he made his own mind up and did things his way.maybe we should all take a leaf out of Brians book. Good luck to Nigel we are proud to have a clough back in charge RIP BRIAN CLOUGH.
@msec Ses No, he's on the money. a few different interviews at the time show him foreshadowing what the top division was about to become. And whilst the game is better for the sports science and athletics sides, money has sucked out a lot of the joy, passion and character of the sport. Its why I only watch lower league football, they might be crap but at least they're honest.
@@ericgeorge5483 cloughy loved Sunderland read his quotes about it and how he said it was his favourite time in football including being a manager. Plus a few of his kids were born there
"I hope she doesn't sing in the bath..." The world misses Brian Clough, mainly because he talked a lot of sense. Some people say he had a big mouth, but in the industry he was in, shy boys get no sweets.
Clough was one of, if not the best managers of all time. I can't see how some can say he was average???? Mainly them who say that are Leeds Utd fans but seriously at that time Don Revie was a father figure to Bremner and co, any manager would have found it tough to take on the job... it was just more difficult for Cloughie because if he was to win over the leeds players he would have had to go against his philosophy of the game... R.I.P SIR BRIAN CLOUGH
To actually see him play would have been my honour I met him once when I was about 22! Waiting for an FA cup semi final ticket for Old Trafford (Gates had shut)! I had long hair but I stood up like a guardman on parade in the lobby! He looked me up and down and said nothing! I got my ticket for 3 pounds fifty! He will always be my friend and hero! That day Forest won 1-0 (Roy Judas Keane Goal)!
Salute to a man who always spoke his mind (admittedly it was long before globalisation shrunk the football world).. Look at what happened to Richard Keys and Andy Gray for comments during a 'private' conversation.. F-T-World, its all gone maddddd
i think everyone should agree with me on this but Brian Clough was the best manager england never had, they should have got him when they had the chance all those years back. big mistake an absolute legend.
Brian Clough was once engaged to my great Aunt. I live on the same road....VALLEY ROAD... in Middlesbrough, the road Brian Clough was born on, every time I go past his former house, I look up at the plaque that says 'Brian Clough' lived here.
Brian no matter what you done and achieved and it was more than most, sadly in today’s current climate you would have been sacked for your honest opinions which in today’s society speaking the truth hurts some ppl. A mans man and a legend
Poor quality but Cloughie never holds back and 99% of the time it's true, Victoria can't sing to save her life and for David's lifestyle ….. fucking hell - he's a footballer not a rock star!! Clough was always the voice of truth and reason!
had cloughie been manager in 94 instead of taylor, england would have won the world cup, and i would have loved it. Clough was a legend and STILL underrated. and by the way, i'm scottish
there"s only one Brian Clough, I"m Spurs supporter, & Cloughie played a Tottenham style, on the ground proper football. Mourinho couldn"t steal Brians act, as he was a one off. winning the league at Derby then Forrest says it all, & 2 European Cups to boot, sadly missed but not forgotten....
He sounds sharper and healthier in this interview than he did in his famous Forest relegation interview at the end of his last season. I think he needed to get away from the game to get control of his life again.
It's a tragedy that this man is no longer with us, but fuck me am I glad he is not alive to see the game the way it is today. He'd turn over in his grave
Brian Clough the best manager Middlesbrough never had if he could create miracles for Derby & Forest he'd of turned Boro into a colosus.the best manager England never had. If he was England boss it wouldnt be a matter of if he would win the world cup. It would be a case of how many. England would be on a par with Italy, Brazil, The Germans & France & we'd of saw them all off. RIP Clough the best manager ever.
I am from London but a Leeds fan i live across the road from Millwall fc .Maybe its because im a Londoner that i love london town may be is because im a londoner that i think of her whereever i go i get afunny feeling inside of me just walking up and down oh maybe its because im a londoner that i love london town get off me barrow
@vickieclarke This was the reason he called Fergie King Rat: "I call Alex 'King Rat' not as an insult, but because of the example he has set with Manchester United, the lead he has given with the dynasty he has created and the financial empire built around the success of his teams." WALKING ON WATER by Brian Clough Clough is a legend. Fergie is a legend. Simple as.
How brian wasn't England manager is beyond me I think the only reason is he was too straight for the old boys club at the fa cloughie knew more in his sleep than this shower did in a lifetime
Sad to see him so wrecked looking. In a league of his own as a man and a manager. To think that Kenny Burns was a second division striker when he bought him and within a year was Footballer of the Year at centre half. Genius.
@thereisnopluto "For all his hopes, knighthoods and championships, he hasn't got two of what I've got. And I don't mean balls" Brian Clough on Alex Ferguson
Unfair to Beckham, behind that poster boy look, he was, probably, one of the most dedicated, hard working footballers in history. Always runs his sock off in every game and would spend hours and hours practicing set pieces after training.
Bielsa had Leeds players pick up litter for the day to remind them what the fans do in a days work to buy a match ticket. I see similarities between Clough and Bielsa.
I always wonder how cloughie would have dealt with the new brand of footballer... they are really worlds apart from the football world he managed in. I think Mourinho is no great fan of arrogant characters (despite being one) but it certainly would have been interesting. He struggled at Leeds with players who were like early "modern footballers" but then that was leeds who couldn't let go of their love for Don Revvie.
Sorry for saying this, it's so obvious: "It's a working man's game, me being one of them"; good dear ol' big'ead; times they are a-changin, and I've lost all interest in football. Hardly ever even watch the major cups any more. It's all about foolin the ref. Commentators going: "Oh yes but there was certainly contact!"
Lived near Cloughy in Derby, so down to earth and never showy, great neighbor, just such a top bloke that everyone misses
We used to empty his bins hes a Derby legend i still get sad on his passing anniversary 😢 I cried when he died 😢
Brian Clough the greatest England manager that never was!
RIP Brian
I heard him on a local radio station with fans calling in. One caller said:

Cloughie replied:
"Well when I was young I caught measles but I got over it"
There's only one Brian Clough. Legend.
Lol😂😂
Greatest manager England never had. Boy does football need the likes of this man today!
‘What do you want four f***ing cars for?’ 🤣🤣🤣
Can you imagine Brian coaching today? The modern Premiership would never be the same!
That blast on Posh was simply epic!
Big Fat Ron telling Clough to get back in the game - Epic! I loved every second of that vid.
Me too
football was a working class game - those were the days. Now there is no loyalty and players come and go just for the pay check. Cloughie represents a golden era which is no more......god bless him
im a leeds fan and clough is a legend i wish there was footy managers like him in the game 2day! class act
Brian clough what a man! He'd hate the football world now without a doubt
Cloughie, right on the button as usual.
football needs people like him.
someone who tells it straight.
Miss both of these
" She can't sing " (posh) good man Cloughie, tell it as it is!
The world needs people like Brian Clough,they are characters they stand out from the rest of us and make us think a little different, not just the opinion of the masses.He had is own opinion he made his own mind up and did things his way.maybe we should all take a leaf out of Brians book.

two class acts for the price of one.

He didn't have a big mouth just a lot to say and most of it worth listening to.

That's the old school, no nonsense, right there.
RIP Mr Clough. You were truly the one and only.
No wonder Roy Keane said he was the greatest manager he played under, he definitely influenced him and that's apparent even today

Even as a Leeds fan I love this guy!
A true cocky manager, better than Mourinho and the rest

Shankley was the greatest but cluough was a great socialist.
@@kneetrembler3249 don't remember shankly winning back to back promotion, title and two European cups with largely the same group of players

LOVE THIS MAN! Big Ron just can't get enough of his jokes. Shame Cloughie never got the chance to be England manager. he would've been awesome
He was always better with Peter Taylor by his side

Love the comment about posh spice keepin beckham awake and her singing.
Funny guy.
If he said this about Beckham, lord knows what words of wisdom he would have for C. Ronaldo, hahaha. Brian Clough will always be missed.
He would have marvelled at Ronaldo. Im guessing he saw him play not long before he passed.
because the FA knew they wouldn't be able to control him if he was the manager
Spot on Ron!
Poor quality but Cloughie never holds back and 99% of the time it's true, Victoria can't sing to save her life and for David's lifestyle ….. fucking hell - he's a footballer not a rock star!! Clough was always the voice of truth and reason!
I like down to earth folks
There's only one Brian Clough. Fuckn legend.
Sound advice from the much missed Brian Clough
Absolutely marvellous.
had cloughie been manager in 94 instead of taylor, england would have won the world cup, and i would have loved it. Clough was a legend and STILL underrated.
and by the way, i'm scottish
I dont even think he could of done it with that England side it was poor as fuck...
This reminds me of Monty Python...... luxury! we used to live int shoe box int middle a road.....

Big Ron - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..... yeah!
I just love the way he has a pop with Posh Spice with those lines. We need managers like Cloughie who speak their mind.

The last of the great managers
Name 1 manager working now who could take Nottingham Forest and win two European cups in a row
Steve Cooper
legend
“Money has poisoned the bloody game!!”
Never heard a truer word spoken. If Clough were alive today what would he think?
here here
How brian wasn't England manager is beyond me

Sad to see him so wrecked looking. In a league of his own as a man and a manager. To think that Kenny Burns was a second division striker when he bought him and within a year was Footballer of the Year at centre half. Genius.
Kenny Burns played as a striker with Trevor Francis at BIRMINGHAM, He never played in the 2nd division.

There was a reason SAF got rid of Beckham and her first name is Victoria.
Strong.
Bielsa had Leeds players pick up litter for the day to remind them what the fans do in a days work to buy a match ticket. I see similarities between Clough and Bielsa.
@TumblingDice1972 Thats why people like myself dont go to the games anymore mate.
Classic
What did he say can anyone write because english not my first language
Shosho Shooshoo he said he doesn't like foreigners, now piss off!
God! I really miss characters like Clough. Mourinho was similar in many ways.....
I always wonder how cloughie would have dealt with the new brand of footballer... they are really worlds apart from the football world he managed in.

He would have been fine. 10 times the manager Big Sam was and sam did well in Premier
Where did all the humour and personalities go !
Ian Holloway the only one who I can think of now.
Sorry for saying this, it's so obvious: "It's a working man's game, me being one of them"; good dear ol' big'ead; times they are a-changin, and I've lost all interest in football. Hardly ever even watch the major cups any more. It's all about foolin the ref. Commentators going: "Oh yes but there was certainly contact!"
Obviously Cloughie was as knowledgable about music as he was about football
he was a top alcoholic thats why he needed peter taylor with him to hold him up
no he was the best at that aswell he never once seemed drunk
They hooded each other up in different ways
Haven't you got a shrine to Don Revie to go look after somewhere?
@primroseNblue Why do you call Cloughie racist?
She might not be able to sing but I bet she can play a tune on the blue veined piccolo.
He's exactly right! Players used to play for the fans. Now they're big headed and play for money. And Posh can't sing.
