What football would give nowadays for top quality English managers like Brian Clough + Jim Smith…both excellent characters, great servants to the game & successful. Both from an era where the game was working-class.
Proper managers managing proper teams! love them both…..Jim smith our manager at Oxford United legend and clough for the man he is was both legends in my book. RIP to both of them.
👍🏼 Great clip In my opinion, Cloughie’s the best manager ever. It was a pleasure to grow-up in an era of football that involved superb characters like Cloughie & Jim Smith. As a young Birmingham fan my first ever game was in 1980 vs Forest (then Champions of Europe). Jim Smith was Blues manager, that day our seats were close to the dugouts and getting glimpses of both managers was just as entertaining as the match for a wide-eyed 7 year old me 😁
2 amazing guys sadly missed, real characters, it would have been great to sit down for a few beers and chin wag, the bald Eagle and old big head, fantastic
2 absolutely amazing managers!!! I can spend a whole day watching Cloughie! Even re watching videos, they certainly broke the mould when he was created! Even though he was so harsh, sometimes violent, nobody has a bad word to say about him!
When you know what you know you just tell it like it is, he was brilliant and had every right to say it!! He was the best because he cared more than anyone else and had passion in abundance. God bless him.
1:40 He was spot on, He thought it was over the top then what would he think now with Man City and all that nonsense? The game that these legends loved has gone now.
It's like all those people who say "and all that" or " know what I mean?". Just a covers-all-bases turn of phrase that lingers. Doesn't have a distinct meaning.
Two absolutely legends but I could tell even Jim was a bit in awe of Cloughie. A bit of that and Brian's unpredictably that he might say something controversial. Lol
Here's one story that's not mentioned with regard Mr Clough. Jimmy Gordon was his trainer at Derby & Forest & he relied on Jimmy a lot. Jimmy an old Pro was paid a ordinary working man wage. After decades of service he was granted a testimonial with Forest v Derby. Clough told the Treasurer he would be having some of Jimmy's money for the 'club' ie his wallet. After the game Jimmy eventually went to get his money which after any expenses came to £7000 which should have all gone to Jimmy but Treasurer said Mr Clough had already been down & took £3000, his cut. This is fact. Despicable on a man who had very little to show for a life in football bar his undoubted loyal service to Clough.
Legendary leaders of our club. Long live Cloughy and the Bald Eagle.
Jim Smith was a Sheffield Wednesday fan throughout his life.

The FA still wouldn’t give them the England managers job
Two absolute legends of derby county
of football.
Both from Yorkshire.. Middlesbrough and Sheffield.
I could listen to Cloughie and his stories for hours. Thanks for posting this. I'm glad he visited Pride Park.
Loved Brian Clough to bits...an absolute one off

My love for Cloughie knows no bounds .

Legend's of the game jim & Brian
Sir Brian was in great form here.
Could listen to god....all day...that man...spoke the truth...
2 great managers,Jim worked wonders at Oxford.
And Cloughie well it goes without saying
i like a man that speaks his mind
Thanks for uploading this
A pair of legends. Cloughie could have been a TV presenter
Two great characters from a cherished Era
love 'em both RIP both ...COYS
As a centre forward nobody remembers just how good he was … him and greavsie on par !
1:40 He was spot on, He thought it was over the top then what would he think now with Man City and all that nonsense? The game that these legends loved has gone now.
Jim smith is a wednesdayite ....wawaw....Brian clough what a fooking legend ...
Legends from a bygone age when Football was everything to me , nowadays i dont give a hoot the Game is justva load of old shit
They both sound like they had a good drink that day 🍻😄
Cloughie had stopped by this point.
If Cloughie wax still here, I’d have him interview Kier Starmer!!!!
No lee anderson 😂
Enjoyed seeing Leicester go four up inside fifteen minutes there.
Brilliant.
"and all that type of thing"
Clough said that a lot!
It's like all those people who say "and all that" or " know what I mean?".
Just a covers-all-bases turn of phrase that lingers. Doesn't have a distinct meaning.
Two Legendary Rams bosses.
🙏 rip brian x
@@Rossboy2112 RIP Jim Smith
Pure class
Another Legend from the Mighty Boro
Two absolutely legends but I could tell even Jim was a bit in awe of Cloughie. A bit of that and Brian's unpredictably that he might say something controversial. Lol
I noticed that. Bless him. Clough was a force of nature.
Poor Jim didn't get a word in.
He wasnt wrong about the players wages was he....the game is gone
A shame Cloughie never got to manage England, im sure we'd have more silverware if he did
Clough looked like Robert Maxwell as he got older.
Clough: My 2 boys are fanatical Derby supporters.
Miss these days, compared to today's scripted crap
This proves Cloughie loved Derby the most
Does Jim want to even be there? His body language says not.
Poor old Jim hardly got a word in!!
Jim Smith couldn’t get a word in 😂

Proof or it didn't happen.
Sounds like nonsense.
We were awful, Alvechurch should’ve won at least 3-0. Too many players aren’t good enough.
Smith beat Clough when he was Pompey boss. Pompey beat Forest in a cup tie in 1992.
Brian bought Ramonde ponte , Ainer Ass and Hans Van Breukelen to these shores early eighties … all for bringing them in back then 👍🏽
Please stop saying A levels BC.
The bald eagle,and Mr ego!
How many European Cups have you won then?
