  • The manager Brian Clough, an English manager gifted with charisma and famous for his quotes and interviews. A talkative man for sure, but behind the arrogance and self confidence there are trophies and big accomplishments.
    Either with Derby County or Nottingham Forest, Clough's influence was massive and effective wherever he went. This is the story of Brian Clough, since his playing days at Middlesbrough and Sunderland mostly in the 2nd division until his beginnings as a manager managing Hartlepool in the depths of the English Pyramid.
    Watch how the best English manager the national team never had went from those depths to the peak of European Football.

    Thirty years and an entire cycle of footballing modernity on from his grandest deeds, perhaps the most interesting thing about Brian Clough is his enduring prominence.
    For a football manager whose claim to greatness is confined to a nine-year period that burned brightest at Derby County and Nottingham Forest, and whose career only briefly intersected with the grand self-propelling fame farrago of the Premier League, Clough remains the most insistent of pre-modern footballing celebrities.

      Not to denote Sir Alex but I doubt that he could take a 2nd division side and take them to heights undiscovered. When Sir Alex took over United in '86, they already had the reputation of a top side despite not living up to their past achievements.
      Clough and Taylor took both Derby and Forest who had little to no impact in the footballing landscape and made them the force that they were and provided league titles and European Cups with Forest back-to-back (which Ferguson couldn't achieve with the financial backing of the Premier League and Sky Sports.)
      Those guys did it with chump change in an era where football was strict in terms of player transfers and allocation of money across the leagues.

    Brilliant documentary Balon you have out done yourself here. Clough was one of a kind, so charismatic and a master of man management. To achieve his accolades at two small clubs is a testament to his greatness. It's a pity his relationship broke down with Taylor, never quite understood why. Too bad Alcholism took a toll on his health and he failed to evolve his tactics/ management style. What a character though, pretty sure Mourinho tries to emulate him all the time.

      There's probably a lot more to it but a major cause of his falling-out with Taylor was when Taylor became manager of Derby County and signed John Robertson from Nottingham Forest. Robertson provided the cross that resulted in Trevor Francis' winning goal in the 1979 European Cup final and scored the winning goal in the 1980 final.

    In Clough’s last season at Forest I went watching Blackburn away at Forest.
    Bizarrely at half time, Clough sat in the dug out on his own. Motionless, he looked like a stubborn and broken man.
    Both the Forest and Blackburn fans sand his name together in the second half such was the whole game’s regard for him.
    He was Forest manager at my first ever football mate I went to in 1981 when Blackburn Rovers played Forest in the cup. Howard Kendal was our manager and many, many years later I bumped into Howard in a bar and told him this fact and he laughed and said “the Cloughie tale”.

    How Clough and Taylor made two 2nd divisions teams champions of England is beyond imaginable. That too without playing rough and dirty when playing rough and dirty was the norm. Sadly, nothing in football is guaranteed especially in 70s and 80s when clubs didn't have massive sponsors and were financially fragile, and failure to build on past achievements lead to downward spiral, unfortunately that's what happened here as well. Nonetheless, Clough was a true captain, steered the sinking ship till the end.

    An excellent documentary, one of the best I've seen on Clough. So accurate, even down to the fact of director Jack Kirkland's insulting of Taylor triggering the resignations from Derby. Whether you supported Derby or Forest those were wonderful times.

Without a doubt, this guy has gotta be 'the most', in terms of English-football knowledge, of every non-English person in the entire world. And that doesn't begin to cover all the other football cultures he knows vast amounts about. Truly a class apart.

    It is a cold man that didn't shed a tear at the end of this excellent documentary. I write this comment on the 1st May 2022, and in two days from now, a football match every bit as important as any Champions League Final of today will take place in Bournemouth, as they play Nottingham Forest with a 3pt lead, and just 1 more game to play afterwards, for possible promotion to the Premier League, for the first time since the end of this documentary.
    I am a lifelong Manchester City Football Club fan, privileged to have existed in the Brian Clough era, when men were men, and bullshit took a bus home. Clough was arrogant, Clough could infuriate a saint, but the man took every hit, and every piece of attention bad or good, because he knew it took the pressure off his players on the pitch, and then the football could talk for itself. As a young child, Manchester City (the club with no history) were teetering on the exact same wobbly ground as Nottingham Forest, and we were not long before falling heavily without first reaching up as Forest were able to. We could not stretch up high enough to achieve what Clough did with Nottingham Forest. For all that Joe Mercer was, he was not Brian Clough. City since have seen nothing short of a miracle happen at the club, and we are where we are now, and yet have still not ever achieved what Brian Clough that Nottingham Forest team did in the 1970's & 1980's.
    They say football must always come before tribal support, and this coming week could not speak for that more. On Tuesday night I will forget my own colours, with all respect to AFC Bournemouth, because I know what it feels like to see a phoenix rise from the flames. Young supporters do not believe in legacy, because they simply have not started one yet. For any football supporter, that remembers this era though, and given the football already seen of Nottingham Forest earlier this season in the F.A Cup, it is far past the time when this iconic football club should return to their spiritual home of top flight football. You earn your place in a footballing ladder, that is true, but if you don't believe there are forces stronger than all of us, then given Nottingham Forest's league position just months ago, you really should believe in fairies, because should Nottingham Forest win their next two football matches, the entire world will be, just for a while, Nottingham Forest supporters, for every reason given in this video. In fact, I feel it is so important, I say with my hand on my heart, if it was between Nottingham Forest finally regaining their place in the Premier League, or Manchester City winning our first Champions League this season, I will choose a Nottingham Forest promotion, because there are things far bigger than me, my support, my football club, and football itself.
    We will never see anyone like Brian Clough again, he is simply a man who could not be told how to be, or how the beautiful game could be played, and when you look at everything at that time that was available to him, no academy, no massive stadium, no state-of-the-art training facilities, no wealth to simply pick and choose any player that took the fancy, with only maybe one or two choices every season, it's only then you realise the genius of Brian Clough, still to this day not formerly recognised by his sport properly, a man who was ignored by an F.A who still employ 'yes men' as England football manager, and still disliked by so many, who couldn't put petty ego and self-importance aside, when spoken to and of, by a man who never said anything worse than, I want to achieve great things, and to be better for that, and more importantly, I want my team and football club to be better than yours, and that is the reason we are intrinsically attached to this sport.
    To Nottingham Forest Football Club and all supporters of the club. May the wings of all the footballing Gods, lift you in the coming weeks, and do so with one name on your lips. Brian Clough ended up literally giving his life to you (and one or two right-handers also) and if he is up there right now, rest assured he is annoying and gobbing off to whoever he needs to, to make sure we all see Nottingham Forest in the Premier League for season 2022/23.
    'If you win something once, they say it is luck. If you win it again, then you shut the buggers up' - Brian Clough.
