Some people just have a larger than life aura about them, some of the stories about Clough are amazing, the stuff he got away with. One from when he was a player he scored 3 goals but the team lost 4-3 and he stood up in front of his teammates after and said "here lads, if I score four next week do you think we might have a chance of winning a game". Most people just wouldn't get away with that but Clough was a rare one who could.
Mark Crossley lived in Rainton when he played for Middlesbrough. We played for rainton cricket club together. Top bloke and a very decent cricket player.
Cloughie was a great manager and a great character. To think, he won the League with Derby County, and the League and two European cups at Forest. That's some feat.
@@wimbledan My one is I saw it happen on TV. Besides It's Clough, if it were possible they could happen they could only happen to Clough. No other manager acted, reacted, or behaved like Clough. Back then and now. He was unique, and it's a crying Shame how he never got to be England manager. I'm not saying his success was gaurunteed, but if he had gelled with the squad it would have been champagne and roses all the way. Leeds United hated him, he lasted 44 days. Nottingham forest adored him. He took them from the bottom of div 2 to the top of div 1 ( no English Premiership back then ) and got them to win the European Championship TWICE!!
@@wanderer1955 met him once it's on here. I was a ball boy for Wimbledon. He was a total gentleman made all the players sign out programmes and had a chat with us.
The FA knew he was head and shoulders better than the rest but knew he wouldn't have put up with their BS for more than 5mins. They wanted yes men who would say the right things to the press and not upset anyone, a safe pair of hands was the saying back then. Clough was a maverick who the FA couldn't tame, he was 'unsafe' I'm convinced he and Taylor would have won a trophy with England and to think we didn't even qualify for three tounaments during his prime utterly shames the FA.
@@Myviewoftheworldful Have to agree. Clough was the face of the team and was brilliant but Taylor was the mastermind behind it. I'm not even a Forest fan but loved watching them under Clough/Taylor.
True or not Clough represents the best of men who weren’t stupid and valued life with zero pretence. Check his half cut interview about Rupert Murdoch. Clough was no fool.
Peter Peter The truth is unpopular it is an observable fact that if people insist on acting without ascertaining the situation they can unwittingly cause themselves problems hence why we look to a superior force to look after us. It’s like sheep wanting a sheep dog. I’ve no idea about other aspects of his life and behaviour being open minded and always interested in understanding things clearer I will take your word and look into it. Thank you best of health to you.
@Peter Peter It is quite important that when you make an accusation that you are accurate with it and helps if you use quotes rather than your own interpretation of matters, with you saying Clough "said Lpool fans caused the Hboro disaster" when in fact what he actually said was “I will always remain convinced that those Liverpool fans who died were killed by Liverpool people" which although might seem like splitting hairs, is not the same thing. That said, he was later quoted as saying he was “misinformed, I wasn’t trying to be vindictive or unsympathetic, but my opinion has altered over the years. It was never my intention to hurt anyone.” Do not forget that Forest were Liverpool's opponents that day, that this was at a time when football hooliganism was at his height and Clough being old school Labour, would no doubt have been against Thatcher trying to bring in ID cards, and he has even smacked a few pitch invaders fans of his own at Forest too.
@Peter Peter I am not sure how me quoting Clough's own words makes it gibberish, but still. Unless of course you are suggesting that it was gibberish from Clough, which it clearly was not and was just a changed view based on new information. Do not forget he was there himself and would have seen fans running onto the pitch, with some of them jumping about and waving at the cameras, not knowing themselves the severity at the time, just Clough did not know the causes either. Your claim was that Clough had said Liverpool fans "caused the Hboro disaster" and whilst I personally would not have worded it like that (and neither did Clough) the deaths were as a result of how the fans reacted. Now I not for one minute blame those fans because in a blind panic you can not really expect anything different, and how the ground was policed that day and its infrastructure back then played a part too, but that is how it happened, fans were squashed by other fans. Clough obviously at the time put that down to aggressive and hooligan type behaviour and then later admitted he was misinformed and was wrong and so said as much? So isn't that better than sticking to his guns despite knowing he was wrong? I am making no judgement either way on what he was like regarding anything else and just on this matter.
Im from Devon n as a young lad i saw Clough on the tv around 76 he resonated with me so i started supporting Forest he was an inspirational loopy genius 👍
Mahammed Ali faced Clough on TV ( Ali was Clough's hero) and told Clough stop being a big mouth. I'm the only big mouth. Just stop! Cloughie was asked what he thought of that. Clough was asked if he was going to stop. He said no way! I want to fight him!😁😁😁😁 Priceless!!
He was, still is and always will be a god in our city of Nottingham. I’ve always felt a strong bond with LFC after the awful event in April 1989. I think it affected Brian more than he would admit.
Brian Clough what a geezer. What an incredible manager he was the kinda manager u knew not to cross otherwise he'd fuckin destroy u. The impressions were absolutely bang on. Fact the crazy gang didn't even say anything to Brian Clough says it all & they were a bunch of intimidating individuals themselves.
I liked Cloughie but one thing's always puzzled me. Why would the FA constantly pass him over or disregard him for the England job as everyone makes out? Why would they ignore the opportunity to appoint someone, even if that someone was a nightmare to manage, when it could have brought us the greatest victory in international football? As I said, I'll always admire Clough but this "the FA wanted a yes man who they could control and that's why they never chose Clough to manage England" doesn't always ring 100% true for me
Even more than missing out on Cloughie managing England, and them potentially not being shite just for once, we missed out on his post England match interviews. Can you imagine him at the 82 World Cup after Keegan's point blank miss?
Clough succeeded at Derby and Nottingham Forest where he built teams from scratch. There were players of considerable ability but few "stars". Managing the national side involves picking the very best players available, which is different from being in charge at club level. His experience at Leeds might give a hint at how he would have fared managing England.
This guy is exaggerating the story. Brian Clough never smashed the ghetto blaster. Glyn hodges said he unplugged the extension lead and the Wimbledon players got batteries instead and didn’t let Brian Clough back in
"Even the crazy gang didn’t say anything to him" - that says everything about Cloughs reputation and respect in the game
owt....even crazy gang didn't say owt
Never tire of hearing this story.
The Brian Clough impression made the story even funnier!!!
Have you heard one from Des Walker about Cloughie stamping on Fash’s foot?
Mark Crossley does the best Clough impression ever 🤣
I could listen to those impression for every week,,,
I could listen to him all day doing clough absolute quality
Brian Clough was not only a brilliant striker and a brilliant manager but he was also funny as fuck.
Best manager England never had bar none.

Love these stories about Brian Clough .What a legend .Great stuff Mark Crossley .
Mark Crossley lived in Rainton when he played for Middlesbrough. We played for rainton cricket club together. Top bloke and a very decent cricket player.
30 years ago Crossley lived next door but one to me. Roy Keane was next door.
Cloughie was a great manager and a great character. To think, he won the League with Derby County, and the League and two European cups at Forest. That's some feat.
Brian Clough. The one and only. Never have we seen the like before or will we see again. Legend.
Even the crazy gang didn't what any of clough, that says everything you need to know about how savage the man could be.
Clough punched Roy Keane too. So the guy was fearless.
It's called respect. Nothing savage about it.
You know what makes the clough stories better when they’ve been told by ex players..the impression they do🤣🤣🤣🤣 quality
You can't tell a Clough story without doing the impression
The impression is 60 percent of the story.

Could listen to stuff like this all day. Everybody who tells Clough stories, seems to feel th need to do an impression, hilarious
Crossleys impression of Brian is bang on the money close your eyes and you will think it's brain talking 😂
I remember Cloughy giving a few lads a clip when they stormed the pitch haha
What a legend Crossley is. That story is something you couldn't make up!!
He does make stories up though
@@Noisehead101this is true.
As Vinnie Jones confirmed
My old man always said clough should of been England manager
Yes he should have been but then Forest would have lost their best ever manager. COYR.
And your old man is RIGHT!
Your dad is right mate based on pure ability! But the FA want yes men and he was the complete opposite.

@@shoutinghorse couldn't put it better myself. He was legend!
Mark sounds more like Clough than Clough himself with that impression lol
Brilliant story!!
Imagine if Cloughy were alive today and did a reaction to Mark Crossleys Brian Clough stories 😂
Crossley the only man who appears to have 2 lines in a 3 minute story .
Some going that 😂😂😂😂
Some peopledoubt this story but anyone who knows about Clough knows it could very well be true. What a man! Great story.
Crossley what an accent
What a story
Cloughy 😜😜😜
Paddy McGuinness does a cracking impression of Brian Clough.
Brian Clough is phoenix nights before it was phoenix nights.
The 🐐 goat
Crossley legit great story teller and Clough is more far fetched than any Marvel character
What a great story...
... Possibly the best titled video on TH-cam, talk about painting a picture !
The great Brian Clough: much maligned but even more missed. COYR!
😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant and typical Brian Clough!
Is Mark Crossley Possesed By Brian Clough ,SOUNDS LIKE IT , BRILLIANT STORIES ,MEMORIS OF, THE BEST ENGLAND COACH, WE NEVER HAD
Ha ha.
Cloughie is coming from Spirit world through Crossley
Know it all makes sense 😂😂😂
What Brian Clough achieved at Notts Forest was remarkable.
*Nott'm
Peter Taylor achieved it. As soon as Taylor left Forest returned to shit.

What a combination that would have been.😂😂😂😂
Mayhem. Total mayhem❤
He could've got Stuart Pearce to repair it.
Great banter lads
Can’t beat it😂
His impression 😂 😂 😂 😂
Greatest manager ever. End of.
I just have a vision of that ghetto blaster in a hundred pieces......
The clough impression is brilliant 😂😂
Sounds more like Brian Glover
Just shows that the best way to challenge the Crazy Gang was head on
So few did it that they didn't know how to deal with it when it actually happened

You can tell Clough is from Middlesbrough when he's doing shit like that.
Clough, a man after my own heart.

Legend...from a QPR fan
Love Cloughie 💙💙💙
Been a while since something made me cry laughing!!
Pretty cool too that Vinnie was the one that told Mark about what happened from thier side!

Brilliant good old Cloughie ....THE MAN
What I find the funniest is him going on about a “ghetto blaster “, like no one had heardof a steroe at that time
That is what people called them at the time, so why not use the term?
Crossley always liked a bit of persil ...🤧🤧

How come this is a video but the full podcast is audio only?
One of the bravest Brits ever . Great goal scoring career cut down by shit house tackle in the Sunderland mud .
"One of the bravest Brits ever"? Are you for real? Tell that to all those who have served on the front line in the past 100 years! Fucking idiot.
Funniest thing I’ve heard. Cracking up laughing
