I am not a Forest fan at all, but Mark Crossley is one bloody interesting bloke, and Brian Clough, his stories about Derby and Forest are legendary. Brilliant.
I love this listening to Mark Crossley talking about Brian Clough. What's clear is the respect that he had for Clough. I get the impression that he enjoyed working for him.
I used to know the lad he proper clouted fir going on the pitch that time. Think the coppers wanted him to press charges. No chance the lad just admitted he was wrong and Mr Clough did the right thing. You can't buy that kind of respect.....
You think I'll listen to one of MCs stories on Brian Clough and you cannot help but listen to every story, and you're left in awe of just how incredible the bloke was, they'll never be another Brian Clough for eccentricity or sheer class, my team Mansfield is currently enjoying success with his 'chip off the old block' son Nigel and we're truly privileged because anybody who followed his Dad's ways can see his son has some of his football principles etc, and 'at the time of writing this' something good is happening because we're 17 matches unbeaten! Plus the whole town has a spring in its step.
I have actually watched a lot of stuff about Clough the last week or so after seeing Mark on another podcast and hearing him say 'shitouse, bring ya boots and bring ya f'in gloves as well' and 'I won't call you shitouse, coz Barbaras ere'
Best video yet, could listen to him for hours. Norm is a true Forest legend of my youth, really sad to listen to how it all ended at the mighty reds..Keep up the great work Chippers.

I forgot to say in my last post. I was at the last game Brian ever managed. It was at my home town of Ipswich. It was a honour to be there, to pay homage to a true legend of the beautiful game. When the great man came onto the pitch, everyone stood and gave a standing ovation. One of my greatest memories. RIP Cloughie.
I was there too. As a fellow Ipswich supporter, I can add that not only did the whole ground give him a standing ovation, but we also sang his name. To which I believe Cloughie called us mad! 😂😂 A true legend.
Where the Dell once stood in Southampton there is a short “no through road” called Mark Crossley Way. I think it was named in honour of Mark being the only keeper to stop a Matt Le Tissier penalty.
@@barrygentry5364 tw o platers i respect a great deal. Le Tisseier is one player who i stood up and clapped when he scored against us at home 40 yarder right in the top corner . Massively underated player and a great man.
So proud of Crossley, for the career he’s had. He’s from hoyland, and I’m from the next village, hoyland common. My best mate knew him and played with him at one point. Jags were massive round our area. Well proud of the guy! Tells a great story, too!
Great to listen to him. Was always a favourite of mine as a kid, wearing the yellow goalkeeper jersey! Pleased to hear he still has so much affection for the club and the city too. Thanks for the good times, Norm!
Can't stop laughing at those first few stories, and loving the respect with which they were told. Respect to all Cloughie and Forest fans from West Cork, Ireland.
I’m a Scotsman and I loved Cloughie. I had nightmares about Brian getting the England job he would have won trophies for them. Thank god the blazers were terrified of him
You've done some great interviews but this has to be the best to date. Norm almost had me crying with laughter with some of his anicdotes especially about the non league side.

Great interview & down to earth guy. Mark was a good loan signing for my club Sheff Wed in late 2006 & even scored a goal in a cup game for us. All the best to Forest & their fans in the premier league next season! 👍
What a guy Norm is. His first team that his Dad founded is still going strong, now a big grassroots club called Hoyland Common Falcons and a feeder club for Barnsley FC. As a coach there myself he still continues to lend his support to things and speaks fondly of where it all began. See you at our end of season presentation Norm, the lads will be buzzing.
Mark, like many of us in our working life just want to be respected & appreciated by the manager or company we work for. David Platt was a novice at management & especially man management, he was the wrong fit & I believe he didn’t understand what Forest were about. I am so pleased we’ve got Steve Cooper because he has encapsulated & revived the true ethos embedded in Nottingham Forest football club. Thanks Mark for all you’ve helped Forest achieve, you were very much appreciated by the masses.

I love this interview , His impressions are mint. This is defo one of my favourite interviews . Brilliant
Norm is just a thoroughly decent bloke. Was stood behind him in the Trent End the night of his debut. What a guy - and all of his achievements since are well deserved. A City Ground Legend. Thanks Norm
As a Liverpool fan I have a soft spot for Forest despite us being great rivals in the 70s.But there was always a great respect for what Clough and Forest have achieved. Crossley gave a great interview and was a top keeper and I wish Forest all the best in the play off final and hope to see you back in the PL soon.
Great interview, handled expertly and Mark had some really great stories to tell, seems like a really good genuine guy, don't make him push though😃He is right about the FA cup though 👍 it was just as important as the league, massive, massive competition, now look at it. How did that happen, does anyone know the facts? I hope you have more interviews, as good quality as this. Many thanks for the upload 🙏 From a Leeds United supporter.
If I was manager I’d do it the Clough way Game don’t need to be difficult footballs aren’t let’s say most intelligent .Keep it simple play 4,4,2 Central Defenders- Cleat the ball ,head or kick it as far away from danger zone ,Give the ball to midfielders .Wingbacks -close opponent down tackle or put boot in to nick ball away ,when possible get up to link up & cross the ball . Midfield demand ball & create plus chip in with few goals ,off ball close down opponents stop opponents playing through .Wingers run at opponents beat one, two & look pick out strikers runs ,link up with wingback . Strikers simple score goals head or tap in be nuisance tread on toes. Simple Effective Football . Don’t worry about opponents shape let them worry about 4,4,2 . Cloughie said it best Football is such a simple game ,beautiful game when played correctly on the floor NOT in the air Players are too pampered how I wish for Old School Manager who ruled through fear & respect ,fear to fail with doubt going get hair dryer treatment or good boot up arse . That’s way I’d manage players didn’t like then there’s the door pick up Louis Vutton man bag & off you jog son My way the football way ,styled for men not fancy haircuts driving super-cars Home & Away show up wearing Shirt & Tie only when manager sais can switch to tracksuits.New players are taken round whole club introduced to all the staff the unsung staff Once a month players are sent round thank these people ,Once a month players serve the staff Coffee & Tea . Install respect & humbleness appreciate the privileged lifestyle Fines aren’t financial they are chores like litter patrol ,wipe clean seats , wash team bus , Help put out training clothing ,Boot room polishing duties Youth Players Boots stuff £20 in each boot That’s how I’d run a football club On my contract NOBODY goes over managers head ,no agents given free tickets .
Super Interview Robin . Mark is such a genuine guy and Forest Legend. Loved his stories and I’m sure you could sort a part 2 with him sometime to discuss favourite games/players and the modern game re goalkeeping .
Rams fan here. I enjoyed this. As he mentioned, you need a bit of luck and life turns with fine margins. I wish the club well and promotion this season.
Absolutely fantastic the most enjoyable interview I've seen in many years. Seems like big mark enjoyed a huge bond with cloughy and they both had mutual respect for each other. Mark had a quality playing career and young goalkeepers should watch how he carried himself over the years (apart from the window incident 😂)
@@SportChippers I would say Blackburn was the pinnacle of his career and form. I met him at Lilleshall doing our uefa goalkeeping badges and the lad is hilarious and has some cracking stories to tell 👍
Heard a story ......dunno how true it is . The housing development on the site of the old Dell in Southampton . A close is named Crossley Close or something ? Big Norm only keeper to save a Matt LeTiss penalty .
Fergie got the guy on a one month loan, but treated him like a permanent signing, bringing him around the grounds, introducing him to backroom and facilities staff. These little details seperate the exceptional from the normal.
I met platt in a bookies in Crewe jumping up and down with Blisset 12/1 winner with 2 quid on it, then later in a pub when he'd made big time and he was Arrogant big time,
The blank contract thing was a two way trust exercise. If you signed it and got treated well, you knew you could trust Cloughie. Also, Cloughie knew you trusted him so he would feel comfortable trusting you.
Wow, love Mark Crossley. He seems to be a lovely, down to earth, genuine, gentle man. Was a good keeper too, did he get any England Caps? Now Young Man, his impressions are spot on.....why did Cloughie call him Shithouse?
Anytime... get him straight back on... could listen to him for hours on end.. what a legend ! And thank you once again , never get old these stories, wish he told others , next time !
I've just watched this fab interview supported Forest since 77 not a northern lad London barnados sprog actually saw Cloughie on TV he made me laugh out loud when I was about 9 or 10 my pops who was an Arsenal fan told me who Cloughie was and the team he managed that was it been Forest for me for 6 decades Norms honest and funny interview was just brilliant he was prob our best keeper next to Shilts and Van Breuklan soz about spelling many special memories from late 80s into 90s brilliant really enjoyed am going to watch it again from David Forest fan since 77 lol 🏐🥅⚽❤️🌹😎
What a great bloke Mark is. He was a great keeper, and comes across as a very modest, funny, and friendly fella. It is a brilliant piece of interviewing, which I thoughly enjoyed watching. Thank you. 👍
One of the first matches (maybe even the first) I ever watched at the city ground was this 2-1 win over Liverpool. Was lucky enough to get a ticket off a chap whose Dad couldn’t make the game, so was sat next to him in the main stand. Fantastic atmosphere. Didn’t realise until this interview that it was Marks debut that day.
Great story Mike…. good debut for both of you then! Don’t forget to subscribe for free, and you’ll see more interviews, past and future, come up on your TH-cam feed… cheers.
Fantastic interview Chippers I can listen to big Norm all day long with all the stories he comes out with,what a character he is.can’t wait for the next one 👍

Back in the 90s I had trial at Luton, Mark was on lone, what a true gent he was, Bonetti ( The Cat ) was in charge of us keepers, he was such a lovely lovely man to speak to, I must say tho that I was 28 or 29 then, I was with St Albans at the time, even Bonetti said I was Fitter than Mark, but unfortunately not match fit as it turned out. I had only recently come back back from America. It was a real privilege to train with these guys, I'm sure Mark won't remember our chat, but he was a larger than life hero ! Lovely to hear his comments of Brian and how he went about his business. Happy memories of football and glad I was there on the day.
Hi Pal LFC fan here , my biggest compliment I can make is iv just watched this for 3rd time. I minded good few LFC players infact was Riise's best mate / minder and of course have many funny stories. Great work Sir YNWA
It’s clear to see that mark loved Brian and Brian was fond of him tho old big ead would never say it!! Everton fan but huge respect for forest and the city of Nottingham they sorted me a kidney in the city hospital, brilliant work chippers
An excellent video & fair play to Mark Crosley for a very frank & honest question & answer. I like how he had respect for Brian Clough & I think Cloughie had a certain respect likewise.the FA Cup analogy is spot on..teams now pick 2nd string sides coz they save playing for Premier league. Devalue the whole thing. Well done Mark Crosley for being Frank & honest!
I'm a celtic fan die hard.but cloughie and Taylor were exceptional..I just love them. I'm a trucker live in felixstowo. I'm 64 now still driving.but that was a guy you would walk through a wall for.you must have discipline. Always.or you've nothing.and I'm a celtic fan.
I met Mark once, after a match, he was a fantastic player for Forest and a really nice guy but, for some reason, Beasant was preferred at the time. I really hoped Mark would get back in and think it’s such a shame he fell out of favour. Still a Forest favourite.
GREAT INTERVIEW...AND A GREAT KEEPER ...DAVID PRATT WHAT A PANTOMIME HOURSE !!! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FIGURE SKATER !!! PS ALWAYS REMEMBER BOB PAISELYS RECORD WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GREAT MANAGERS !!! HE AND CLOUGHIE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED KNIGHTHOODS NOT JUST RUDOLPH FERGIE !!!
Platt a top bloke ? My brother was at villa with platt and this was after italia 90 , and after a little training ground disagreement or scuffle SPAT in my brothers face , top blokes dont spit in anyones face let alone a teammates,
Big Norm, confirming what we all thought about platt! Loved watching Big Norm growing up as fan and now, as a father/grandfather, having not but respect for him as a human being.
Loyalty before money! Unheard of nowadays. Lovely interview. Clough! The best manager that England never had because the FA were frightened. Same happened to Harry Redknapp
Great interview, I love Norm, top bloke. I was pissed off with him after the Chesterfield game but he made up for it and you can't stay pissed off with someone like him, he's so honest and obviously really loves the club. You Reds
now then shithouse,,,,,,,, genuinely wonderful to listen to this again,, just need someone to write a script and get michael sheen to do the acting again,,,, there must be so much material out there as well as the football to make a couple of films at least
The world used to stop when it was cup final day ,Its such a shame that its no where near as special as it used to be I used to love going to all the replays and neutral grounds for the semi finals ,and then final day was such a special day at wembley

We could do with more managers like this now
Get your boots on son, and it would help if you wore your gloves as well. 😂 oh my goodness me, quality! Top, top quality!
Must have been magnificent playing for Cloughie during these times
Wow, love Mark Crossley. He seems to be a lovely, down to earth, genuine, gentle man. Was a good keeper too, did he get any England Caps?
Now Young Man, his impressions are spot on.....why did Cloughie call him Shithouse?
No, Mark was actually capped by Wales as a deputy to Neville Southall. No one was more than big Mark.
In the UK we sometimes say, 'built like a brick shithouse' to describe someone tall and broad.
No, big Mark was capped by Wales. Strangely.
Anytime... get him straight back on... could listen to him for hours on end.. what a legend ! And thank you once again , never get old these stories, wish he told others , next time !
Might just do that mike!

I had only recently come back back from America. It was a real privilege to train with these guys, I'm sure Mark won't remember our chat, but he was a larger than life hero ! Lovely to hear his comments of Brian and how he went about his business. Happy memories of football and glad I was there on the day.

Hi Pal LFC fan here , my biggest compliment I can make is iv just watched this for 3rd time.
I minded good few LFC players infact was Riise's best mate / minder and of course have many funny stories.
Great work Sir YNWA
Glad you enjoyed it Jamie - cheers!
It’s clear to see that mark loved Brian and Brian was fond of him tho old big ead would never say it!!
Everton fan but huge respect for forest and the city of Nottingham they sorted me a kidney in the city hospital, brilliant work chippers
An excellent video & fair play to Mark Crosley for a very frank & honest question & answer. I like how he had respect for Brian Clough & I think Cloughie had a certain respect likewise.the FA Cup analogy is spot on..teams now pick 2nd string sides coz they save playing for Premier league. Devalue the whole thing. Well done Mark Crosley for being Frank & honest!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a sound bloke 🏴
Crossley was a very under rated keeper. He never got the credit he deserved and should’ve been selected for England way before Wales came calling
Agreed… a great character too. - don’t forget to subscribe for free, and you’ll see more interviews from the past and future…! Cheers
I'm a celtic fan die hard.but cloughie and Taylor were exceptional..I just love them. I'm a trucker live in felixstowo. I'm 64 now still driving.but that was a guy you would walk through a wall for.you must have discipline. Always.or you've nothing.and I'm a celtic fan.
Lovely Jubbly, absolute quality listening to this, brilliant!
Thanks for listening! Glad you enjoyed it… think you’ll enjoy the chat with Brian Laws too!!
Only man to save a le tissier penalty if I'm not mistaken...good keeper and a good guy.

I met Mark once, after a match, he was a fantastic player for Forest and a really nice guy but, for some reason, Beasant was preferred at the time. I really hoped Mark would get back in and think it’s such a shame he fell out of favour. Still a Forest favourite.
GREAT INTERVIEW...AND A GREAT KEEPER ...DAVID PRATT WHAT A PANTOMIME HOURSE !!! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FIGURE SKATER !!! PS ALWAYS REMEMBER BOB PAISELYS RECORD WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GREAT MANAGERS !!! HE AND CLOUGHIE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED KNIGHTHOODS NOT JUST RUDOLPH FERGIE !!!
Amazing, emotive interview, speaks from the heart. Big Norm Forest legend. David Platt sounds like a top bloke 😤
Thanks Luke…. he’s a good man. Don’t forget to subscribe for free!
Platt a top bloke ? My brother was at villa with platt and this was after italia 90 , and after a little training ground disagreement or scuffle SPAT in my brothers face , top blokes dont spit in anyones face let alone a teammates,
@@pjduff7577 he’s being sarcastic.
Big Norm, confirming what we all thought about platt! Loved watching Big Norm growing up as fan and now, as a father/grandfather, having not but respect for him as a human being.
Does a brilliant impression of cloughy lol
Plus he comes across as a nice bloke, "Hey Shit-House" 😂🤣😂
What a brilliant guy! Love the stories. Went to see him at Nottingham undr the cosh live show.
All the best Norm 👍
Great isn’t he? Don’t forget to subscribe Wayne, to see more videos (both past and future). Cheers.
Top bloke big norm, forest legend! Chippers next time you interview him can you ask him about Van Hooijdonk.
Good shout Martin!
Fantastic interview, one of my best forest players ... All you need now is sir Franz Carr on
Great suggestion!
Loyalty before money! Unheard of nowadays. Lovely interview. Clough! The best manager that England never had because the FA were frightened. Same happened to Harry Redknapp
Great storyteller, great stories. Loved this interview
Glad you enjoyed it!
Seeet! Wba fan in peace.
Got to say my dislike for David platt has gone up a touch ,never liked him and norms story only says I was right .

Great interview, I love Norm, top bloke.
I was pissed off with him after the Chesterfield game but he made up for it and you can't stay pissed off with someone like him, he's so honest and obviously really loves the club.
You Reds
He’s a top fella yeah…. don’t forget to subscribe eh, and maybe even become a member 😜 th-cam.com/channels/silRwvO-yAAbMgcCuXmvow.htmljoin
Legend, thank you. Hope you enjoy!
@@SportChippers you're welcome, I enjoy your interviews 👍
Found this by chance and a great insight into the game back then and very honest from Mark. Premier League players don't know they are born today.
Glad you found it Iain, cheers!!
4 minutes..... 3 minutes son you got 3 minutes
Loved that story too!
now then shithouse,,,,,,,, genuinely wonderful to listen to this again,, just need someone to write a script and get michael sheen to do the acting again,,,, there must be so much material out there as well as the football to make a couple of films at least
Remember watching you from the Trent End under the Gaffer Norm, memories I will treasure forever,
Come on Forest 👍👍👍😁
The world used to stop when it was cup final day ,Its such a shame that its no where near as special as it used to be
I used to love going to all the replays and neutral grounds for the semi finals ,and then final day was such a special day at wembley
Frank Clarke was class. The perfect replacement. They were very exciting times.
Platt ruined our club. We've never recovered from his awful mis-managment.
Yep, not the best! Don’t forget to subscribe for free Mark, to see future and past interviews on your feed…. cheers!
His Cloughie impression is brilliant. Cracks me up.
Spot on, isn’t it John?!
I must of watched this about 10 times Mark is brilliant at doing Clough.
Great stories from Mark.. I'm a Fulham fan remember him playing at the Cottage. Good keeper!
Very enjoyable interview, some great stories from Big Norm.
Brilliant story teller eh? Don’t forget to subscribe Neil, and you’ll see past and future videos of a similar type too. Cheers.
Reds legend. The only testimonial I’ve been too. Seems to be something which is dying out! Great work Chippers.
Thanks Philip, loved speaking to Norm - some great impressions and stories. You’d be very welcome in the club btw! 😉 th-cam.com/channels/silRwvO-yAAbMgcCuXmvow.htmljoin
