Thereare 2 progs coming on about big gob, pi5s head clough. one is called damned united about his time at leeds, but the one that bothers me because it will be on around the time of the hillsborough anniversary is made by his family, i really hope they dont start repeating his opinions regarding that day.
 
Never was a great fan of him but he spoke well of us during the Rapid Vienna game in 85 where he was co-commentator.

he didn't speak very respectfully following hillsborough though, especially when it came to selling his book. nothin' but a p1ss-pot bully of a manager now imo.

micky quinn told a blinder on talksport, big gob rang downstairs to get a youngster to "FETCH HIM A BREW", the young lad said "no chance" to which he got "do you know who i am ?" "yes the youngster said, do you know who i am ?" "no" said cloughie "in which case" said the youngster "no chance......click"
 
Read the book The Damned United recently. Doesn't exactly paint him in a great light, and apparently the family aren't too keen on the film.

Book was a cracking read though. 2nd best football book I've read (behind Fever Pitch obv).
 
The film will be on general cinema release on the 27th March. It was financed partly by the BBC so I can't see it being on ITV.

I always thought he was a ******, for what it's worth.
 

I went to he Wembley game straight after Hillsborough , and it wasnt just Cloughy , all the Forest firm seemed to have little empathy for the whole situation . Nevertheless , he was THE greatest football manager this country has seen . From a resources perspective alone , to win the title with both Derby and Forest , ( while the Mersey Millionaires couldnt win a raffle ; oh sorry the Superteams trophy. ) Moreover to go on to 2 European Cup wins with Forest was not only incredible , but unique . It will not be equalled .
I read the book a while ago . Its decent . Plus , hes always good value , or was , TV , but if you want the definitive on Old Big 'Ead , listen to his comments as we trounced Rapid in Rotterdam .
I was at the game and , as such , never heard it until 20 years later , still made me proud though .
Wish he'd have come to Goodison in 74 . The Liverpool legend would never have happened .
 
arrogant ****, I'm not really familiar with what he said about hillsborough to be honest!

I still like him though, sue me!

Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while I'm alive.
Brian Clough

Football hooligans - well, there are 92 club chairmen for a start.
Brian Clough

I can't even spell spaghetti never mind talk Italian. How could I tell an Italian to get the ball? He might grab mine.
Brian Clough

I gave my players a version of the same message at ten-to-three every Saturday: 'I would shoot my granny right now for three points this afternoon.' They knew how important it was to give everything in the cause of victory. Every time. That's why my granny enjoyed more lives than my cat.
Brian Clough

I like my women to be feminine, not sliding into tackles and covered in mud.
Brian Clough

I might be an old codger now and slightly past my best as a gaffer, but the FA would know they're safe with me. At least I'd keep my trousers on.
Brian Clough

I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed. I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me.
Brian Clough

I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.
Brian Clough

I'm dealing with my drinking problem and I have a reputation for getting things done.
Brian Clough

I've decided to pick my moment to retire very carefully - in about 200 years time.

If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well.

Brian Clough

On occasions I have been big-headed. I think most people are when they get in the limelight. I call myself Big Head just to remind myself not to be.
Brian Clough

Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.
Brian Clough

Telling the entire world and his dog how good a manager I was. I knew I was the best but I should have said nowt and kept the pressure off 'cos they'd have worked it out for themselves.
Brian Clough

That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror rather than at the ball. You can't keep goal with hair like that.
Brian Clough

The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
Brian Clough

Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. They are absolutely right.
Brian Clough

We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night but we had to leave a little bit early and get home and watch Match of the Day - and my wife still complains she missed the last five minutes of every film we saw.
