Brian Clough Documentary

[kikoefc]

Did anyone watch it? Was a very good watch, and I advise people who didnt see it to try and find out if its repeated later in the week. Being 18 I never seen Clough as a manager, but from what I seen tonight there will never be another manager like him ever. Its in his autobiography that the only two jobs he ever applied for were the England job and the Everton job, as he wanted to test himself against Liverpool and make Everton the best club in Merseyside!

I watched it, and indeed it was very intriguing.

And that he did!! Am only 29, so dont remember the hype around Clough. But I will remember always knowing that this fella stood out in the football world whilst i grew up.

I worked with this fella called Jez when i was 19-22. He always came to work with a Forrest lunch box. this was strange, because here was a married man with children, taking care of this lunch box with about as much care and attention as one off his own kids.
I asked him what the situation was with this lunch box (with the fear off gettin a slap from an old'un). He just said "Cloughy"and carried out ploughin into his dinner. I never really fully understood his answer to my question....... up untill now.

Jez used to tell me storys about him driving a few mles on a sunday to 'Cloughys corner shop' just to buy a newspaper and a bag off King Eddys (Apperently Brian bought a little shop when he walked away from the game). And the tales of just how much Forrest hated Derby County. (Me thinking Notts County were the rivals!!). But, never quite could get the grasp of his storys.

This Documentry has now cleared up a few things.

Cheers Jez, for sharing your tales to a little snotty nosed scouser

He's dead & I never speak ill of the dead but I have no interest in anything that man had to say about any subject.

If he'd have kept his mouth shut about subjects he knew nothing about I'd respect him due to his managerial ability but seems as he thought selling books & staying in the public eye was more important than respecting the memory of innocent deceased people, I have no respect for him whatsoever.
