I once walked in to a newsagents in West Bridgford, Nottingham, not knowing it was Clough family owned. BC was in there stacking the shelves, this was after he'd won the league and 2 European cups. What a down to earth bloke. ♥
I was born in 1968 and hated football as a boy. Had zero interest in it. But there was a funny man that made me laugh once a week named Brian Clough. Got to love it through the 78 World Cup and loved the game until about the year 2000. Absolutely hate what football has become now, but always will love Diego Maradona, Zico, Brazil 82 team and Brian Clough ❤
Being a Liverpool fan i obviously didn't care much for Cloughie at the time but looking back he was one of the best if not the best and a great character as well. I wish we had his like around now.
the conversation with Ron Atkinson is very prfound. He was there in a team with Greaves and Charlton. Says it all about how talented a player Clough was
Clough, the England Manager who never was. Kids, this man is the polar opposite to Gareth Southgate. He wasn’t a yes man, he knew how to manage and he had charisma. Brilliant man.
A great manager & he liked his teams to play great fast flowing football. I always wonder what he could have done with England & also if he managed a club like Man Utd or Liverpool.
As a fan of Brian Clough and watching his Nottingham Forest teams I agree he was a brilliant man. And yes he may have been polar opposite to Southgate in personality. But come on, have some bloody respect. Gareth has done superbly well as England manager and arguably one of the best England has ever had.
@@benleatherland7020 respect doesn’t come into it mate. I have some respect for Southgate yes, BUT you cannot deny that he is the polar opposite to Clough, and that’s all I’m saying. Clough did not get the England job because he wasn’t an FA man, whereas Southgate is, fact. Apology accepted🙄
Now I appreciate this may cause controversy but to me he is the best manager of my lifetime, what he achieved at Derby and Nottm Forest with little to no money, compared to Man Utd, Liverpool etc is incredible. I am not insulting Shankly. Paisley etc as they were excellent but it's always been Cloughie for me and I'm a LCFC fan.
Brilliant video, I could listen to this man all day. As much as I hated what he did for Forest, you have to respect this man and what he achieved. Notts County fan.
In a word 'Legend' ~ If the FA hadn't have continued to appoint 'yes men' during the 70's/80's perhaps the national team might have landed a Trophy or two under 'Cloughies' tenure.
You’re absolutely right apart from the fact that it was just one man, not the FA, who refused to appoint Clough. A certain Harold Thompson who was the dictatorial head of the FA at Lancaster Gate. He alone decided who came and who went. When Revie left the job to pad his own pocket with plenty oil money then Thompson himself appointed his yes man Ron Greenwood before the interviews for the post had even begun.
To me THE BEST manager ever, now that's a massive statement from a life long devout Leeds fan, I just think he went about it the wrong way when he first came to Leeds. Having said that he should have managed the National team without a doubt, he was also a proper character.
Yea his mistake was telling the players they didn't earn their trophies fairy & to bin their medals, he'd have lost their respect & desire to play for him then.
What a man told it as it was a true English football man not just a manger should have been England manger for twenty year and I’d bet England would have at least two tournament wins including a World Cup no doubt about it RIP old big head
England may of had more trophies had this man been given the job..he was way before his time..but he wasn’t a yes man like our current manager..but he was an amazing no nonsense manager..He’s gone now so it’s a matter of what could have been..we may even of been as good as Germany…RIP Mr Clough..
LEGENDS CLOUGHIE N MOTSON met Motty n Claridge outside Shepherd Bush Empire said too Motty that game pissing with snow ??? within 2 seconds he says Yeovil LIVED AND BREATHED FOOTBALL 💙💙💙
True took smaller clubs & achieved like he was managing the best teams in the country. Yea a real shame, but once he retired & away from the spotlight & pressure he managed to get off it.
@@tt99football56 He was managing the best teams in the country though, that was his genius. Forest came from the second division to knock liverpool off their perch :) The Liverpool side was something else.
He never managed the best teams in the country, he built 2 smaller clubs up & won things. He was never able to dominate like Man Utd or Liverpool. If he had a club like that, he'd have won even more is what I'm saying.@@fargodavilleitnotd6729
@@fargodavilleitnotd6729 I do get it, but he never had the best team in the country. His Derby team wasn't better than Leeds & Forest weren't a better team than Liverpool. What I'm saying is give him Liverpools players & he wins more league titles than just 2.
Revie & Clough both from Middlesbrough & both played for Sunderland hated each other. Add to that Stokoe, 73 Cup winner manager who accused Clough of faking his career ending injury. And accused Revie of bribery. All from NE, connected to Sunderland & all hated each other.
@@tt99football56 According to Cloughie. Sunderland played Bury in driving sleet, freezing conditions. He collided with Bury's GK while trying to score and stayed down. Stokoe, Bury's CH was telling him to get up and shouted to the Ref "Come on, he's only codding" (kidding). Sadly he wasn't he'd ruptured his cruciate ligament.
@@tt99football56 No problem. My Dad and myself were /are Sunderland fans, but my Mam's family were from Leeds, so as a kid Leeds were my 2nd team. I was told of incredible performances by Cloughie at Sunderland. Along came Stokoe (the Messiah) in '73 and my Leeds family didn't talk to us for months! Even today any mention of '73 can cause friction! Sunderland fans were desperate to get Cloughie as Manager. I recall him saying he would have crawled over glass on hands and knees to come to Sunderland. Unfortunately, like many, our directors were too scared of him. So for me all three were hero's as Managers even if they had a dislike for each other..
Brian Clough was great with players he could influence. Derby were a second division club that he took to the top of the First Division. However, he fell out with the Chairman and the committee. Leeds were the Man City of their day and Clough got the job to manage them, however, he did not get on with the Leeds players who were all internationals and leading players. They didn’t appreciate Clough’s approach and his domineering methods. When Clough went to Nottingham Forest he took over a lowly Second Division football club and players who had ability and promise but also players who were not reaching their potential. Clough then signed players whose careers were faltering and needed a new lease of life. Clough was very good at improving and influencing footballers who were willing to bend to his will. Plus he had a fellow genius in Peter Taylor. Taylor was brilliant at finding players and fitting them into a system. As an international manager Clough would not have everyday involvement, hence, his ability to influence his players would be minimal. Furthermore, when he did get players before an international match he would not have long to stamp his authority. The final point is simple the leading players in the country who were highly paid and who had utter belief in themselves would not have necessarily taken to Clough telling them it was his way or the highway.
Clough is factually wrong. Walter Winterbottom never chose England sides. That was done by a selection committee. Alf Ramsey was the first England manager to pick his own sides.
His 'I believe in a different concept of football to Don... I want to be like me' answer should be anthologized, it is a prose poem. No public figure has ever been more idiosyncratically eloquent, apart from possibly Muhammed Ali.
Cloughie with Forest also twice won the Full Members' Cup, in 1989 (then known as the Simod Cup) & in 1992 (as the Zenith Data Systems Cup). Both times were at Wembley 🏆 A crowd of 67,688 witnessed the ‘92 final and was Cloughie’s last visit to Wembley as manager.
To make Forest European champions twice??? With limited funds? A decent but not exceptional squad? England would have been easy work for Clough There were not other managers that could come close to him Compare with Southgate? What could Clough have achieved?

No matter how many times I’ve seen it, John Motson’s interview with Brian is the stuff of legends..
Two legends in their respective fields.
A legend in his own time , if he taught people one thing it was to be yourself and don’t worry about what other people think, genius of a manager.
@@samuraininjarockstar9355 True
I remember like yesterday when he said; I wouldn’t say I’m the best manager in the country but I’m in the top 1!

As a lad from Nottingham Brian was everything to me. He would chat if he saw me. Incredible manager...and so funny. A real talent.
“ far more qualified than you or any of your colleagues “ bang! Take that Motson!
The best manager England never had what he did at Darby and Nottingham Forest will never happen again a true Managerial great
100% loved Cloughie and he loved the working class 👏

I remember when he signed Trevor Francis, he said never again would a player cost a million, he is right there, lol.
A genius.

Amazing flashback of those times with Revie sitting there😂😂😂

Agree with many of the comments about what Cloughie might have achieved with England. Success breeds success but, sadly, Sir Alf got it wrong in 1970. Cloughie would have led an England fight back after Mexico, but now lack of real success for so many years has led to lack of real success in 2024. Full stop. Who today has the GUTS and BLOODY MINDEDNESS, when needed, to be a Clough managing England today?
Brian would have set the standard for the England team.
How stupid are we.
He would have just loved Lineker 😁
Clough is factually wrong. Walter Winterbottom never chose England sides. That was done by a selection committee. Alf Ramsey was the first England manager to pick his own sides.
Leeds were very stupid not to give him more time in the job
Players should never have had any say over who is their manager! That is anarchy!

Did Brian clough ever win a trophy with out Peter Taylor .🤔
@@phillipcarter8045 I had a look 2 league cups, but for sure him & Taylor were better together.
Brian Clough always conceded Peter Taylor was the best at spotting great talent.

After the booze took hold of him he was a shadow of the man he was before. Very sad that a lot of people succumb to the grade A drug alcohol
To make Forest European champions twice???
With limited funds?
A decent but not exceptional squad?
England would have been easy work for Clough
There were not other managers that could come close to him
Compare with Southgate?
What could Clough have achieved?
I wonder what Cloughy would have made of this rainbow alphabet mafia B.S we have to put up with today...
