I'd never get bored of hearing Cloughy stories, absolutely brilliant, complete one off, one of the biggest characters of all time!!! Mark Crossley's impressions of him are hilarious!!!
As a proud hammers fan i have to say i loved clough. He said it as it was sense of humour was priceless The best english manager never to have managed england becayse he was not a yes man. God bless you mr clough because every football fqn knows you where the best
I am not a West Ham fan but man back in the day I absolutely LOVED how they played the game. Always rooted for them because of that style. Had many many favourites but just loved Clyde Best. As for Brian Clough. Best manager of his era without a doubt in my book.
Cloughie was not only a genius of a manager (with Peter Taylor at the helm) but a massive charismatic personality too and as for Dean's storytelling....brilliant and hillarious.
I loved Brian Clough, he was genius. How have we gone from that to where we are today. Yes, the football is amazing but we've lost something along the way. Also love Deano, what a player he was for us at Villa.
Dean Saunders is a top bloke......walked into my local snooker club....when he was playing for Oxford in the old Division 1.....played a couple of frames with a mate of his... myself and a couple of other punters said hello and we hoped he was happy at Oxford....he was happy to have a bit of a chat...very down to earth guy....I believe his story about Cloughie.....it's so crazy it has to be true..
@@RIPSIRJIMMYSAVILLE I believe Dean's story. I think Hill said that because it makes him angry that people tell stories which ridicule Clough and take the piss out of a great manager during the weak moments he suffered late in his career due to illness and alcoholism. You could argue he has a point. I think it highly unlikely Saunders would have made that up. Consider this - if he makes up a story like that and claims Hill, Gemmil and his agent were in the room, clearly any one or all three of them could instantly tell the world it's bullshit. Saunders is intelligent enough to know that. True, for me.
there will never be anyone like clough again .. he was shit at spotting talent but as a manager and a man manager he was a genius and paired with peter taylor who could spot talent at a glance and know what player was needed were .. they were unstapable ..
Even if i 99% of it is not true as Alan Hill as publicly said none of the funny stuff happened Clough was completely sober and was dressed in a suit. Seems to be a thing ex-footballers talking rubbish and lying Jan Molby speaking at a cricket club told stories about Ian Rush only problem with that is Neil Ruddock id seen a Neil Ruddock clip on youtube where he tells the same story word for word except the player this time was Jason Mcateer the cut my pizza in 4 i wont be able to eat 8 and the even more ridiculous story of buying 2 bags of ice in case 1 melts now i dont believe for a single second any of the said that but they both definitely didn't Then theres Harry redknapp whos just a compulsive liar in every story he's ever told watch how he describes a Di Canio goal then watch the actual goal this has to be seen to be believed he does on a sav and someone show on youtube
The more football has turned into a business, the more we have lost the real personalities from the game, the game has lost its roots. Clough was both a great manager and a true personality. Would love to hear Clough, Paisley and Shanks on today's prima donnas and wokeness.
I know it's a cliché, but they really don't make them like Clough any more, old school , tough task master and a complete genius. They really did break the mould, great story too.
Along with Sir Matt Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly, Bobby Robertson, Arsene Wenger, Brain Glough was among the Creme de la Creme of all mangers.
I love Brian Clough. His underlying theory was 'simple'. Keep it simple. Kick the ball, head the ball, keep the ball. Play the game in their half. He could never be replaced. He'd be destroyed in today's game. But that man is why I used to love watching football. You never quite knew what was going to happen. In my opinion. I really can't be bothered watching the game now. It's so predictable. Boring and there are no real personalities. It strikes me as a game played by 'sportsmen' who have been taught that cheating is the only way forward. It's a disgrace......
This is what football was......personal social realism.....real experienceses for real people applicable to their everyday lives....i`m not judging anyone ..........there is an essence to what we do, how we behave, how we interact, how we interact....we`re told how to think, how to behave, how to interact..... pre and post covid.
Sat alone at Trent Bridge & he came up sat next to me and said on your own son? I wanted to give him a smart answer but he was like royalty in Nottingham so bit my lip, also played squash with him a couple of time at Trent Bridge guess what? Yup he didn’t pay either time oh and he hammered me 😂
Quality, what characters they were. Knock spots off todays so called characters (apart from the likes of Roy Keane). Never a dull moment and you were always waiting for it to kick off :)
I hope everyone on here realises this story is actually a total load of bollocks. Confirmed by people who were there, Saunders just basically made it all up.
@@casualchauncey Cloughs biographer (forget name) smelt a rat so contacted both Alan Hill and Archie Gemmill who both confirmed it as majority bollocks. Think it was the Guardian where the story was debunked, as I remember.
@@RebelRebelious yeah after I commented I just thought ‘why don’t you just Google it’ and I read the biographers,Hill and Someone else account and there was very very very little left that’s factual about this story! Good yarn though
Both Alan Hill and Archie Gemmill have debunked the majority of the story as bollocks. The only bit remotely true as you say and clarified by Alan Hill, he was quite abrupt with the agent.
Shame this story was exposed as a massive load of bollocks and almost everything was either over exaggerated or simply just made up by someone in the room at the time.
It hasn't been exposed as bullshit. It was denied by people who are trying to protect Clough from the ridicule stories like this bring down on his good name, at a time when (late in his career) he was vulnerable due to illness and drink. I think it highly unlikely Saunders made this up.
I would not believe a word dean saunders says. But he sure was a bloody good striker, and fair play to him for that. But he is one of those who you should never believe. Good story, but i would not believe it. Saunders is one of those absolute liars, he likes conning people. Great story though.
I know that the people there have gone on record as saying it didn’t happen like that at all and Saunders developed it to help his after dinner speaking career - and they were very annoyed he ‘used’ clough like that
At risk of sounding boring, I'm not sure we should be celebrating a drunken story when alcoholism took him. It's a funny story until you realise he was completely fucked off his face and then it just becomes a bit sad.
Old school football hard and fast big hard tacklers good football not like today a player gets a clip on his heel goes down holding his ear , football has become pathetic
It's an entertaining story but heavily debunked by others that were present such as Archie Gemmill and Alan Hill. There was no carpet kneeling, wall staring or flowers and everything else. There was a meeting at Alan Hill's house with Dean Saunders and his agent and Brian Clough hated dealing with agents so he wasn't very nice to them, that's about all that's true. The rest is nonsense made up to impress at dinners where he's paid to entertain an audience.
It's amazing how those who've worked with him can mimic him so well.
True but deano has always been a great impressionist does a good John Barnes too 👍
Mark crossley absolutely nails his impressions

Spent the day listening to ex pros talking their stories - cried so much from laughing .. what a guy !
I'm literally crying. That's one of the funniest stories I've ever heard
There will never be another like him. All the players speak so highly of him. They don't make them like this anymore.
I loved Brian Clough, he was genius. How have we gone from that to where we are today. Yes, the football is amazing but we've lost something along the way.

I always thought he should have been England manager. Great story.
Should definitely been England manager,him not being the manager tells us what the FA is all about
i love cloughie. mark crossley has a few classic stories on yt as well haha. there's loads tbh. what a character

Saw Dean tonight at Redditch United FC - absolutely brilliant - he done this story and a few Ron Atkinson tales too - great night out UTV
Dean can certainly tell a great story that is for sure mate 👍🏻🙂
Absolutely brilliant. Clough was out there on his own!

He was one hell of a manager that is for sure 🙂👍🏻
and with Giggsy any manager could have done that!

bollocks
Someone like him comes only once a generation, if we are lucky.

Best manager ever lived and a proper teessider

How do you know ?

Legend!
Brian Clough: THE BEST ENGLAND MANAGER ENGLAND NEVER HAD!
100% agree. With Peter Taylor definitely would have won major honours.
It's a travesty that Clough never had the England job.
I love Brian Clough. His underlying theory was 'simple'. Keep it simple. Kick the ball, head the ball, keep the ball. Play the game in their half. He could never be replaced.

Well said..full of robots..
Back when English football wasn't spoilt by foreign managers and owners. Cloughie was an absolute character and unbelievable manager.
This is what football was......personal social realism.....real experienceses for real people applicable to their everyday lives....i`m not judging anyone ..........there is an essence to what we do, how we behave, how we interact, how we interact....we`re told how to think, how to behave, how to interact..... pre and post covid.
Common purpose designed for ultimate control and the removal of business ownership and private property.

this was awesome :D

So sad we wont see the likes of Cloughie again in footie.
"I love flowers" 😂
brilliant 😂
Cloughy left a hole to fill knowing one day, someone is filling that hole. We call that man steve cooper
Saunders is hilarious
He tells a good story 🙂👍🏻
That is truly the best football story of all time
Quality, what characters they were. Knock spots off todays so called characters (apart from the likes of Roy Keane). Never a dull moment and you were always waiting for it to kick off :)
Cloughie didn't give a fuck about any player knock spots off the lot of em mate he give Roy a smack at forest lol
Fucking amazing
Clough was an original.
Brilliant, Coughie saw him at Forest kissing everyone after the game, looked really alco up,d but what a man, loved him didn't we all

Saunders joined Forest three years after Clough left, so it's likely Dean is telling a few fibs here and that's being kind
95% fibs according to Alan Hill and Archie Gemmill.
