Despite his usual quick wit and brilliant sense of humour, he looks tired, defeated and unwell here. What a shame he died only a few years after. Elite manager.
Fibson97 he was only 58 he looks about 75
@@Jack_The_Ladd Maybe the damage was already done by the time he died 11 years later, but he didn't look too bad from 1997 onwards
Esse é legenda
the spots on his face are from alcohol abuse.
Fibson97 11 years later he died man. I was very sad a very Fulfilled manager.
"I'm not saying I'm the best manager in the world, but I'm definitely in the top 1..."
- Brian Clough.
I love that quote, the F.A we’re afraid of him that’s why he never got the England job.
"Frank Sinatra met me once" Brian Clough
@@adamphillip5305 Another famous quote" Rome wasn't built in a day but I wasn't on that job". Love it .
@@danielbarlow7384 I think you will find given the resources due to the clubs sizes he worked with and to do it twice with two midland clubs, clough achieved more than you give him credit for.
@@danielbarlow7384
I think that question is for you to do your research.
Both Derby County and Nottingham forest had never won the first Division before clough and Taylor’s arrival and never got anywhere near since they left. Both of these east midland clubs have shown they would be somewhere around # 20-30 in terms of financial muscle, this can be estimated by the time they have ever spent in the top tier of English football.
Please check the history of Manchester United and Liverpool both clubs have been winning titles and cups almost since their formation and been almost omnipresent in the top tier of English football.
I do not doubt SAF, Paisley and Shankly’s spectacular records, I just happen to think as many others do that Cough’s achievements were the more astounding.
This is heartbreaking to see. By this time alcohol had taken complete control of him. He'd lost the genius he used to have. At this point he looks ill, haggered, exhausted. Alcohol is the devil.
Totally right! I'm a recovering alcoholic 9 years sober.
YES
Alcohol isn't. Alcohol abuse is.
@@aayushsharma1929 tell me the difference between alcohol and alcohol abuse
@d b because alcohol is an addictive substance whether abused or not, one day it will catch up with you, like any other hard drug
When Roy Keane played under fergie for nearly 13yrs and still says clough was the best manager he'd played for, you know he was a special manager
It’s because he hates fergie..
Unknown User Maybe but Brian Clough did the greatest football job in the 20th century to get forest up and win 2 straight European cups and a league title was absolutely incredible
I believe he said that out of spite for Sir Alex
Roy Keane wouldn't be worth 10% of what he is without Sir Alex. He needs to apologize and stop being prick while he still has time..
@@Talis7212 But he does have Ferguson correctly figured out.
He was only 58 here. I wish we could have got another 10 years of him managing if all had been well.
Utb
He looks 70.
@@ChimaChindaDev Alcohol.
Alcohol aged him terribly. He looks in his 70s here
58?!!! Holy fuck!!
"I do it well, I do it good".
You did it better than almost anyone Brian, thanks for everything!

Couldn’t do it without Taylor
The fatal alcoholism is already evident on his face, but still he conducts himself with a charming dignity in this interview.
Tragic, but a legend forever.
So sad looking back now, knowing why he had all those spots on his face.
@@petertr2000 that's just blotchiness/rash it also makes ya really puffed out, ya see this on people who drink heavily, I always be live the old saying aswell which goes "never trust a man who don't drink "
How are these spots related tk his drinking? I've seen plenty of alcoholics in my life but this is the first time im hearing this.
@@aw2584 burst capillaries and the like, alcohol can ruin your skin. It's very sad but it's a common sign
@Montgomery15 Snooker Videos wise words.
Brian Clough, people didn't know if he was gonna kiss them or hit them. Rip cloughie one of the best of all time.
Best alcoholic look at him! Alcoholics are unbearable.
What an absolute legend.
@@actonman7291
You vile little man.
You are clearly not old enough to understand or appreciate the absolute legend that was Brian Clough. Fans like you are a disgrace.

@Peter Phillips Same thing genius.....
Coming back right after Nottingham Forest won the promotion play-off, back to the Premier League after 23 years.

Utter legend. I'm a Sheffield United fan and we had a great moment singing "There's only one Brian Clough" and he turned and saluted us despite the fact that the scoreline in the game was hammering nails into his managerial coffin. Genuine respect shown both ways. Thanks for the memories Cloughie.
I think it says it all when Sheffield United fans will sing for someone who used to manage Leeds! :-)
Utd fans singing cloughie for England was a great manager the best rip
That is a great story. Can imagine it. Thanks.
The pieman. Forest fan here. I was at that game in '93 and recall it well when you guys sang that. It was a superb moment that I'll always remember - thank you :)
He was a legend cos of his character and not for his trophies,, villa did the impossible winning back to back major trophies eague title then next season won Europe but nooooo one will ever remember villa
He was only 58 back then but the drink made him look years older. Losing the FA Cup final 2 years earlier had hit him hard as well. But he lived for another 11 years before he died in 2004. RIP Cloughie - the best manager England never had! ⚽️
Brian Clough, Bobby Robson, Jack Charlton all legends of the game that are sadly gone and characters that can not be replaced RIP
They don't make them like that anymore
Bob Paisley, Ray Clemence, Gerard Houllier, Ian St John
Bobby Robson my favourite England manager, just wish Clough got the chance to manage his country.
Jack loved the Irish and the Irish loved him and I’m sure most of the English respected what he did for England and Ireland
What a great man and a great manager. Although he is mostly remembered for his Forest days, people forget he won the league with Derby County also. Legend.
He would've got as a European Cup as well if it wasn't for Juventus cheating us out
The Forrest team bus past our Liverpool supporters bus coming from Hillsborough in 89. He stood and applauded us as they passed. You could see the emotion in his face. A true gent.
Forest
passed
Forest are one of the clubs you can't really dislike unless youre a derby fan lol.
Given his disgusting comments about the victims of Hillsborough after the disaster, as far as I'm concerned he can burn in hell
@@fivestarman5130there was a lot of misinformation by the police and the government. You can’t hate him for believing the narrative straight after the event. The truth only really came out later.
I was at Hillsborough that day and what he said was 100%true
I admire his honesty in this interview - he had his faults like the rest of us but he admitted his and the teams failings - certain managers would be blaming the referees or the rules - anything but themselves - he made the right decision though - it was time for him to go - you can see the stress has made him unwell
Selling Des Walker to Sampdoria and not replacing him in the summer and Teddy Sheringham to Tottenham just after the Liverpool sky game proved fatal for him.
HAlthough he was outspoken, he was also very keen that hios teams didn;t backchat the ref. They believed in football being played in totally different ways, but Graham Taylor was also like this. Watford and Forest tended to have very good disciplinary records in the eighties.
That is the face of crippling alcoholic. The redness is obvious. Brilliant man but the alcohol was his huge weakness as it is to many including my self.
All the best my man
Don't let it consume you sir. life's worth living but no alcohol is worth drinking
Thanks so much for your comments itsvery helpful. Id love to to thank you face to face
chin up mate. Keep fighting the good fight.
Jack Reilly Admire your honesty, friend. I pray you find the power and strength to overcome and beat this.
The man who defined overachieving, taking over a club in the second division and guiding them to consecutive European Cups and an incredible unbeaten run. People forget how good the Clough team of the mid/late 80s was as well. And doing all this with the charisma and charm that no other manager could ever dream of possessing. Forever grateful to have this man as the legend of our club 🔴⚪️
The record was actually pretty decent in the mid to late 1980s..
People only do what this guy achieved on football manager games is from 2 div to European glory
As a Chelsea fan i would like to say that Brian Clough was an absolute legend and such a lovely, kind, honest person. He always spoke his mind but his ability to motivate players and his tactical knowledge made him one of the best managers the world will ever see. RIP
Some may argue he is the best in the business lol
Why does it matter that you’re a chelsea fan?
@@benjaminrooker5793 no i am a forest fan it is a joke
@@benjaminrooker5793 Just wanted to show that the appreciation of Brian Clough’s achievements were recognised by a wider audience than just the Nottingham Forest fanbase. In the late 1970s there was a lot of rivalry between the two clubs in the second division and despite this i admired what Brian did particularly in the 1980s in the First division and Europe.
@@weyman4317 I see. Could just say you’re not a forest fan? Sorry not picking a fight just something I see a lot is people saying ‘i’m a fan of this club’ and I dont understand why it matters, but I see your point with regards to context.
We’re back Clough. We will bring you your legacy back again !!!
Unfortunately could be relegated end of this season.
Oh man this is lovely especially Brian when he says, "I'm just happy to have met you, you've been charming". Tears in my eyes

It was a goodbye. Touching.

There is something uniquely good about Brian and i hope his legacy which is great for the most part is never forgotten. He spoke from the heart, could be arrogant, rude, funny all in the same breath. An absolute legend of a man!!
What a lovely interview. It's so hard to imagine many current managers being so gracious and honest after losing or being relegated.
Difficult to watch - he's shaking and obviously suffering from the probable effects of Alcoholism.
I'm a saints fan and I loved cloughie. It was a sad day when we lost him. A great manager and an even better man. R.I.P. Brian.
This is heart braking to watch, definition of legend of the sport. Used to love going past his statue in Nottingham every day, and I'm a Villa fan
I remember seeing this interview at the time and felt very sad to see how tired Cloughie looked.
As much as Nottingham Forest were a right thorn in our side, I prefer to remember Brian as the young vibrant character he was on those amazing European nights at the City Ground. I didn't enjoy them at that time - being a Liverpool supporter of course - but I can easily look back and appreciate the absolute miracle that Brian Clough achieved at Forest. I must however include Peter Taylor in my tribute.
RIP Brian Clough
Legend of the game, great manager, great personality

'Good socialist, good dad, good granddad'. Then he must have retired and and later died a content man. The guy won 2 European cups with a Forest team he took over in the 2nd Division. He had nothing to prove to anyone in football, that's for sure.

i wish i could’ve seen Clough in the premier league today, always hear about how he was a great manager, his legacy lives on
Brian would have hated nowadays football, I am sure of that!! All these modern players have ‘agents’ and Brian wasn’t keen on ‘agents’.......
Legend. What he did for Forrest and Derby was unimaginable.
Never the same as a manager after Peter Taylor left him. A gent and true original, God rest Mr Clough
He was a great character but the fact remains he was never as good on his own without Peter Taylor. The two of them together were brilliant and deserved all they achieved. RIP Cloughie and Taylor.👏🏻
@Sky Sports Retro: I would very much like some more of Brian Clough, thank you.
We have some more in the pipeline.
@@SkySportsRetro great ! Let us never forget this Legend
One of the greatest of all time, RIP from a Leeds United fan 🙏🏻
In 91 I lived and worked in Derby. One night me and some mates went for a drive in the countryside, I think it was near Belper but Im not sure. We drove past a man walking home by himself, he was wearing a trench coat and was pissed and staggering all over the road. A few minutes later we came across a husky dog wandering on the side of the road. It was winter and cold, so we picked up the dog and he sat with me in the back seat.
Then we came to a crossroad with some old stone houses, and we stopped and knocked on the doors and asked if anyone had lost a dog. No one had so we turned around to see if he belonged to the drunk guy. My mate driving pulled up to him and asked if he had a dog. He said yes, and then he stuck his head down to me and I wound down the window. It was Brian Clough. He stank of booze and the capillaries all around his nose were all busted. He looked at me and said, 'Thank you, young man'. And he took the dog and continued on his way.
It was the year of the Cup Final where Gazza did his knee. I'd watched that at home in Australia and now there I was with one of the greatest managers ever in the English game. It was sad to see how things were going for him, but I'll never forget how polite and well spoken he was even when he was obviously so tanked that he could barely stand. It was an absolute privilege to meet him, even if only for a few seconds.
I met Kenny Sansom too, many years later in Hong Kong, and he was shaking like a leaf, and was obviously not well. It's incredible how many people alcohol affected in the English game throughout the nineties, and if you meet these people you realise it's a curse.The changes that Wenger bought to the English game were amazing and minimised the damage players and managers were doing to themselves.
I was so lucky to meet him in 2001. He had such brightness and wit. It was, for him, the beautiful game. And he made it so for so many of us. What a man he was.
You could see in his eyes and face when he said “get on man” it looked like he was about to cry but he just looks exhausted, what a manager, never forgotten
Brian Clough was absolutely brilliant. Sad with how it ended. But no one one can ever take away the amazing achievements. And what a guy. Unique. Genius.
What a man. And clearly a great interviewer too, to have established that relationship with Clough.
One of the absolute greats!! Brian Clough was like no other. A gentleman, a wit and a legend. So glad to see Nottingham Forest back in the top flight again. From an Everton fan
He was unwell here, an alcoholic . The blotches on his face, he had a sadness about him since Peter Taylor dies, I think he regretted not making up with him before he passed away.
A legend Mr Clough! .... I have a funny story from Cloughies sad demise at Forest where the booze had really got hold of him. I was an Apprentice at Sheffield Wednesday at the time (for my sins as a life long Blade! ) and Wednesday had a reserve game against Forest at Hillsborough. It was a rainy and cold Wednesday night... Cloughie was renouned for having a guzzle on the malt whiskey in boardrooms wherever he went. Sure enough the then chairman owner of Wednesday (Dave Richards) obliged (as the gentleman he was) and allow (but reluctantly) Cloughie to come in the boardroom for a nip or 2 before the game as a sign of respect 😂. Anyway the game started and Cloughie appears at the dugout 10 mins after kick off clearly hammered and everyone knew it but best to try and ignore coz its Cloughie for god sake. .... Also...... sitting in the stand were FA bigwigs which was a bit unusual for a reserve game? but it turned out they were there to specifically keep an eye on Clough as the problem had obviously built up gotten serious enough with that lot at the FA.. I digress........ so moving on the Full Time Whistle goes and Wednesday I think won 4-1 (can't rember exact) I'm standing at the Top of the Tunnel as the players troop off and up the tunnel where next next to me Appears Cloughie who then sets off marching down the tunnel towards the players coming off...he has a target in sight it seems and sure enough Gary Charles is half way up the tunnel and Cloughie wades in with a swing and connects on Charles 😂😂 and he goes down.... immediately a few of us rush down to try and help defuse a growing row as more are getting involved as Cloughie is standing over Charles who was on the deck continuing to shout how shit he'd played but then up walks Carl Tiler in his big padded training coat. (Now......... I think? Cloughie had just signed Carl from Barnsley for 1million which was a big lump in 1992 /93 for a young CB) .. Anyway Carl was on the bench and didn't get on the pitch but he was just behind Gary Charles coming in and decided to try and get Cloughie off of Charles....telling Clough more or less "come on gaffer pack it in" only for Cloughie who is slurring and doing to then push Carl away and shout " and Whoever told me to pay a million quid for you is gonna get some when I catch em lad" 😂😂😂😂😂 worst thing was one of the FA big wigs was at the top of the tunnel and witnessed it all... Needless to say.............. RIP Brian Clough.
Nice one. Cheers
Poor man at this stage drink had took him over rip

Sad to see him like that but atleast he was still being down to earth and positive

He looks nearly gone in this interview. In a way I'm kind of glad he's not around football anymore because he would've hated the way it's gone imo
He was constantly going on about it even in the 80's and 90's lol
I love the game but I do despise what it has become. It would be utterly stupid to say club teams shouldn't have foreigners playing in their ranks but at the same time the spirit of the game means that club teams should have a certain percentage of home grown players in their ranks.
@@evanaskew6652 You mean like Chelsea over the last couple of seasons
Head coach, husband, father, legend. These are just few of the things to describe what a remarkable man Clough was.
Rip 🙏
I'm a good dad and a good grandad. He always knew that was the most important thing above all else.
I couldn't watch this through to the end. Heartbreaking stuff. A legend. A real character. Such a sad end.
one of the best managers of all time. His record in the 70’s and 80’s was amazing. Doubt we will see a team like forrest win a european cup again
"why do you think you've been relegated?" and he comes back instantly with "we're not good enough" - brilliant honesty, it's why he never made England manager, they want someone to blame the penalty spot for not being bright enough or the corner flag was too tall whenever we lose.
What a Legend. One of the best. 2 European Cups (know the Champions League). Many league titles. RIP Brian Clough a true inspiration
Absolute legend. As a child I always cheered on Forest because of him and his charisma. He will never be forgotten.
Finding it hard not to hold back a tear or two. Underneath all that management bravado was a lovely warm sincere and witty man, which really shines through in this interview. Although I'm not a Forest or Derby fan I was so so sad when he passed away.
Only one Brian clough legend
Did Brian cough ya? 😂
A wonderful human being and would be proud to have met him. RIP Brian clough
Miss you Brian and the interviews, truly one in a million. It's such a shame the way football as gone in that respect where everyone is afraid to be themselves and most modern interviews are carried out by individuals that have no personality or charisma!
I got quite emotional when Cloughie passed away. A great character and manager. Thanks for all you did in football for the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. R I P Brian. Notts County fan.

@@tomchamberlain4329 I've always called you Nottingham Forest and always will.
He was such a wonderful man, i am so proud to be a Forest Fan due to Clough.. I have so many memories with my father watching them and got to see Clough in actions at his peak and downfall. But i loved how honest he was, how passionate he was... One of , if not the greatest football coach in English Football.
Forest was everything to him... he would be so pleased at the club right now, the fact they have remained in the PL and i think he would like Steve Cooper.
Wonderful guy and great football manager! sadly not looking at his best here, thank you Brian for all the great memories!
Just an all round wonderful man. They don't make them like Brian Clough anymore. My generation missed out on his genius.
Hard to believe he's been gone for 16 years now. We will never see his like again, a total one off, & one of the all time greatest managers the game has ever seen
Nice interview, Brian showing genuine respect for the interviewer and it’s reciprocated.
Cloughy made football special.
Just something else from pre-2020 that I miss so much.
The 90s really changed the landscape of English football in so many way! Look how dominant Liverpool were in the 80s for instance!
Exactly, it just shows nothing lasts forever. What makes cloughs achievments even more astonishing as he was up against those Liverpool sides
As someone that lives near Nottingham: Forest, welcome back to the Premier League! Brian would be proud!
I love Brian Clough he's the man. The man that made Nottingham forest play and play for their lives. Their spirit, their passion for football always prevails.
Pure honesty, straight-up answers there will never be another Brian Clough. The sadness here was all to see, you knew how badly he wanted to keep Forest up, but it wasn't to be.
Will be red hot atmosphere at forest first game back in top flight. I hope they do something to recognise brian clough.
As a player he scored 251 league goals from 274 starts, making him the third most prolific scorer in the league, with a conversion rate of 91.61%. He also won the league as a manager with Derby county 3 years after being promoted from the second division.
What a manager. They do not make them like this anymore! He is certainly one of the greatest managers to ever step foot on the dugout position, if not the best and most underrated god of football there ever has been! He revolutionised the game of football and made managing look easy, RIP Cloughie you will never be forgotten🙏❤🔴⚪
Sad seeing this. What a man a absolute idol for all football fans. No supporters from other clubs had anything but total respect for him as a man let alone a football manager. I do know alcohol and unfortunately I’m not great myself. But even in my darkest hours. I put on Brian cloudburst and my mood lifts. One extraordinary man. Rip mr clough you were amazing
Sad to see tbh I wasn't even born to see Clough in his prime in the 70s when Forest were Euro Kings but it was very sad to see him go out in the polar opposite to the way Sir Alex Ferguson went out. But the simple facts were Forest weren't good enough selling Des Walker to Sampdoria and Teddy Sheringham to Tottenham just after the first live Sky game and failing to replace them both cost them dearly.
For me the 2 greatest English managers of all time are Clough and Paisley. I'm not a Forest\Derby fan but I loved Clough and say what you like about old big head - he matched his words with silverware. To take a club like Forest to the league title and then win the European cup twice is beyond belief. One of the all time greats.
Clough, Shankly, Revie all took over struggling 2nd Division clubs and built their clubs into empires with Clough doing twice with Derby & Forest , No manager could do that today it's all about money who's got the most to spend rather than talent spotting.
What a great man, left us way to early. As a West Brom fan since the 70s looking back it seems crazy that Forest were the best and WBA were up there with them! Mr Clough made the difference and took Forest to the pinnacle of European football twice!
Genuine legend. That's from a Newcastle fan as well. What a manager and character 👏🏻 Not enough characters left now sadly.
So honest 😂
Imagine how quickly a man like this would get cancelled these days.
I am a Leeds fan, after hearing what Brian Clough did with my team was totally bad. But to be honest he was a great manager with Nottingham Forest, he showed how good he was. So, why didn't the FA take him on to be the England manager. If he was the manager we probably would have had good and decent team to win the World Cup.
I think we would have won it.
What a legend he was just in this interview you can see how he was as a person straight to the point and nothing more nothing less
One of the managerial greats, Brian with the help of Peter Taylor took Forest by the scruff of the neck and transformed them into the best club team in the world. His record speaks for itself.
Yes Brian Clough was a legend but don't forget Peter Taylor who got him there. For every good front man there is a good shadow.
Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey !!
A very good point. I don't want to buck the trend in this thread, but he just wasn't the same without Peter Taylor by his side.
Loved clough as a kid growing up and what he did for English football.. . What a man and story . From a West ham fan ⚒️
Crazy how that’s a young Martin Tyler interviewing Cloughie. Two legends talking 😫👏🏾
British people cond he was the ENGLAND MANAGER the FA NEVER LET HAPPEN.. They would say he's too hard to handle😵🗣️💯🇬🇧💓🆘 what was hard for them to handle is 1966 was long ago😱👍✌️😁🇬🇧🆘 he would have made another Star over the badge.
RIP Brian Clough 💯💓🙏🇬🇧
I believe his style of management would have worked for England, with its focus on combining talented players to create something better than the sum of his parts. I never understand why they thought that Don Revie's very tight "family" style of management that he used to build Leeds into such a formidable team with very limited resources would translate into managing England, where you have very limited amount of time to work with the team due to the players club commitments. Also just as Brian was deluded into thinking he could go to Leeds and be accepted into the "family", Don was equally deluded to think his management style would work for England.
We all miss Brian Clough! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Young Brian was well played by Michael Sheen in Damned United, and older Brian would be greatly portrayed by Bill Murray
He was building a beautiful team that started in 91 Cup final had he been able to keep that team going they would had much better seasons. Players That were sold Web in 89, Nigel in 93, sherringham in 92.Keane in 94, des walker in 91.
Clough was a great manager at a small club, should’ve been England’s manager
Are you high on crack? Forest weren’t a small side back in the day. He didn’t win 2 European Cups with average players
Yea man it may be a surlrise to you but villa a forest were top teams once opon a time oh the glory days
Clough managed Derby and made them champions of England, he then went to forest made them champions of England and Europe TWICE. These weren’t small clubs and aren’t small clubs now either, learn your history.
Rec Tum that’s the point average players and a ucl he made them good
Rec Tum he won it with good players, but he was also a genius. Mad an incredible team with good players.
A true legend a gent honest yes harsh at times, but the playesr he produced and got the best out of whatever their standard is a true testament to Man.. RIP Mr Clough
His achievements at Forest were among the greatest ever in football. A truly great manager. Huge respect due. Enough said.
He is a legend and he always will be, I love him so much. It’s such a shame how it ended but no doubt, he’s the best!!!
