This fella took over Nottingham Forest ! If you thought Twitching Harry was bad with interviewers you need to watch this ! :cheer:
Brian clough at his best bombastic ,arrogant , common sense and far sighted opinions about the game that wouldn’t sound out of place today.
Love the “I’m far more qualified than you or any of your colleagues” when talking about the match of the day presenters and this is not without foundation given his management record and his incredible goal scoring record as a player.” I suggest you shut up and show more football. Now if that’s not in a nutshell, I don’t know what that is ” Ha ha ha !
Have you seen the video where Clough gets torn apart by the new England manager at the time, Don Revie. :woohoo:
Brian Clough was the football managers version of a school yard bully. The players at Leeds would not stand his obnoxious personality and got him turfed out after 7 weeks.
How good would it have been if our players had taken the same stance with OC. :ohmy:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Thanks, JR.
I thought it was just me that thought he was an obnoxious, rude, self-opinionated buffoon.
I think he would have been disastrous for England (although I suppose he couldn’t have done any worse), in the way that anyone who isn’t manager is the greatest thing ever – until they get the job (Keegan, Taylor, Erikson, and now Hodgson). Everyone knows ‘arry would be great – don’t they?
No, he had success certainly, but that doesn’t make Clough a nice person.
I’m sure Jan Tomaszewski remembers him :)

Don Revie, surely garswood he was worse? Turned Leeds into possibly the dirtiest team ever, left England for the Middle East didn’t he?. Came across as an horrible barsteward. Wasn’t there some allegations also against him as I seem to remember. The Damned United, great film.
Oh yes, Nuneaton, Revie was obnoxious too.
But I wasn’t placing them in any order (or should that be “ordure”), just trying to state my thoughts on Clough.
Larry Lloyd said during an evening at Latics a couple of years ago said he wasn’t a nice man which from this interview is clearly evident.
However he was a very astute football manager who acheived incredible success with two very ordinary clubs and on top of that he was probably the most prolific post war goalscorer before injury took him out.
There was always a hint of bitterness with Clough which probably came with his playing career being ruined by injury and this interview demonstrated that however there are moments though it that his dry humour comes through but john Motson doesn’t pick up on any of that.Judging by this performance, a night out with Brian Clough would have been more exciting than one with John Motson.
I once offered Brian Clough and Viv Anderson one of my Monster Munch, I was only young at the time, Viv shook his head and cloughy ignored me so I suppose he could of been a bit ignorant! still a genius though.
Judging by this performance, a night out with Brian Clough would have been more exciting than one with John Motson.I actually have a (short) night out with John Motson one day last season. I can confirm it would probably have been more exciting with Clough.
