I've bought all the Brian Clough books and can't get enough of clips like this. A good interview. Nothing seems to phase him and he has a real gift of quick wit and management control
I think he was a fascinating character anyway, without the football. DUncan Hamilton's "Provided You Don't Kiss Me" is worth a read. Very poignant but some funny moments too. The book starts with Clough banning him from the club.
It doesn’t matter which club we support, we’re all in agreement that, Brian Clough was a 1 in a billion guy, who was a genius and ridiculously funny individual. Kicking Birtles of the coach is absolutely hilarious. Good on him, I bet the player learned a valuable lesson that day.
Brian was a one of a kind legend, true and open and never forget his Middlesbrough roots, RIP Brian, there will never be another one like you in football
Yes, he was a master of all that, a real natural showman. Well, much more than a showman of course, but he could doubtless have made a living in entertainment or broadcasting quite apart from football.
He once punched Roy Keane in the dressing room after he kept playing the ball back to the keeper. Keane just sucked it up and took it whereas nowadays Clough would’ve been sacked and there’d be an internal investigation and multiple club statements.
Possibly 2 or 3 out of 4 - '78, '82, '90 '98 (I know we never qualified for '78 but this shit is hypothetical) Would have been possibly at least 10 different names in each of the 4 squads and a completely different style of play - i.e not petrified of the opposition and everyone told to go out and express what they were best at. We are still in the same position with Southgate. We also were the same under Venables. Le Tiss would have been the player Clough built the team around then....like Spain did with the great Iniesta. Le Tiss was better than him! We have always been reticent to play the mavericks. Imagine if Frank Worthington had been Italian.....first name on the sheet. Harry Redknapp was our last chance as far as I can see.
My wife and I met Brian once at a book trade show and he signed multiple copies of his new book for us to take back to our bookshop.Had an hilarious ten minutes with him, lovely friendly guy with a real twinkle in his eye.Thank you Brian RIP.
Good interview. Cloughie was always a good talker and it makes a nice change to see an interviewer capable of taking him on with banter rather than the usual boring deference.
Gone for a long time now but watching Brian like this brings back memories what a great man he was...sorely sorely missed by everyone,loved to of played under him...everyone at a certain age can name everyone of his Nottm Forest players of the 2 European Cup Final Wins !!
So true. Cloughie was a staunch Labour man but can you imagine what he`d make of the party today? I often wonder what he`d have to say about all these soppy little woke warriors that have hijacked left wing politics. They`d have a complete fucking meltdown every time he came on the box.
Purely because of this wonderful man, and to some extent his equally likable sidekick, I retain a soft spot for Nottingham Forest to this very day. They don't make them like Brian anymore and more's the pity.
E.T. Wash your bloody mouth out "young man" Don't ever call us "Notts"... we are either Nottingham Forest, Nottm Forest, or just simply Forest. Just thought I'd clear that up for ya "OK" 👂🏼✋🏼
I love that N. East accent (Michael Sheen got it spot on in The Damned Utd)... my mum's from Redcar, Cleveland, gran too............ and despite moving away, she's still got that accent.
A man despairs to go through his life and nobody notice's him, Brian Clough was not that man, he was his own man through the thick of it, he died knowing that he made a difference, in more than just football, i admired his style, don't be a sheep, you will get noticed.
Remember assuming (based on everything we were told) that Clough was past it when Forest went down and had succumbed to alcoholism etc. Amazing then to see him in this interview as sharp as a tack and full of charisma. If he’d managed nowadays he would have gone on for another 15 years.
As a Nottingham lad born and bred, I've great memories. He was the greatest manager we ever had at Forest... Took us from nowhere to European champions twice.. In fact turned average players into world class ones.. Him and let's not forget the great Peter Taylor had the midus touch that comes once in a generation etc etc...
When the police cover-up of the Hillsborough disaster was exposed Cloughie made a point of publicly retracting his earlier comments, such as those he expresses in this interview, and apologising for them. Had he known the police were actually responsible for what happened he would have offered his unwavering support for Liverpool FC in their campaign for justice. I've never met a Liverpool fan who's expressed anger towards Cloughie for what he said.
@tweedlio2763 "What he said was the truth"? Really? You ought to be ashamed of that comment, given the Hillsborough families unwavering and dignified quest to disprove such insights.
@@chrisbayes2972 well, since no one was eventually charged, everyone were acquitted, so it seems the courts feel they weren't to blame? It might not be concur with your opinion though
As a Scot I've said for years Football Snobbery at FA owe every England fan an apology for not allowing who would've been most successful England World Cup winning manager ever Clough I believe would've gotten England to regular World Cup Final .Don Revie couldn't lace Brians boots .Table off Football Masters has Busby Stein Shankly Clough & Taylor making the brew.
Imagine what he'd say about modern day players...Told it like it was and took no s**t off anyone. He turned average players into European champions. One of the greatest managers ever and if he'd got the England job, we wouldn't be talking about one world cup right now.
Hillsborough... yes Police made mistakes... but the FENCES were there because of the behavior of the fans over the years. They have to take some of the blame. Let's not forget Heysel. Liverpool fans will never acknowledge their part in this tragedy.
Totally in a league of his own…there’s no other manager out there to touch him or the legacy that he left behind. Always loved his no nonsense attitude and he didn’t give a hoot about what anyone thought of him. Massive respect to you Brian,rest easy bud and much love ❤️
He's not like you and I, particularly handsome. He was hilarious Brian wasn't he. His one liners are second to none here. Always having a bit of a gossip about someone but makes it sound so funny.🤣
One persons comment of {His Hillsborough comments ruins his legacy} Is out of order Brian Clough was devastated and after that incident he was never really the same man. Truly he was the best thing that happened to UK football. Listen to his players talk about him. There respect for him says it all. Sadly never got the England job. That would have been something to have witnessed and we as a football nation was robbed. Great man always spoke his mind bless him and had decent morals
Cloughie was a master of mind games. Always kept his players on their toes. He could come across as abraisive, but I think beneath the veneer was a genuinely nice bloke.
I liked cloughie but I thought he got it wrong regarding Hillsborough at the time. I wonder if he was still with us today if he would change his opinion after the 2nd inquest ruled unlawfully killed?? I know he was there but so was thousands of forest fans. No doubt alot had the same opinion because that's what it looked like. But what they and cloughie didn't see was the police smear had already started, like when Graham Taylor went to superintendent Duckenfield and asked what was going on, and his reply .... Liverpool fans forced the gate!! He obviously forgot about the CCTV footage that would prove he lied. Shame really because scousers I think liked cloughie upto his Hillsborough comments. Anyway RIP Brian, you were a character and a half that's for sure!!
There will never be another like him !! And what a set of balls to say the truth about Liverpool , nobody had ever dare speak the full facts about it …. But he did and I’ll back him to hilt !!
Liverpool fans didn't realise that pushing forward into the central tunnel to see the semi final at the Leppings Lane end of Hillsborough would cause deaths. The stewards and police made mistakes under pressure, partly because the senior officer in charge of crowd control needed more experience in the challenging situation to avoid the crowd control mistakes made. A more experienced officer could have potentially avoided the deadly crush occurring.
Brian was a true northern lad who certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. God, if he'd stuck it out at Leeds the sky would have been the limit. I thought he was great and would have loved to meet him, I'd have been overawed. RIP Sir.
The word legend does not justify what this man was, there will never be no other like him, many will try to emulate (cough Mourinho etc etc) him but what a crying shame he never got to manage England. RIP sir.

I shared the same views until the truth came out #Sickening #Shamefull. Absolute stain on the game and an injustice to those that lost their lives and the people of Liverpool.
If the correct amount of people with tickets turn up how can there be a crush designated space for a designated amount of people unless people without tickets turned and caused the swarm outside, its not like liverpool fans didn't have form for this kind of thing 2 years previous at hysel those poor Juventus fans hence why English sides were barred from European football for a number of years
@@Ben-n7lIt went through the courts ! Liverpool fans were TOTALLY exonerated of ANY blame . But don't let that spoil your hatred of Liverpool and your pathetic narrative
Great guy who shoots from the hip! His comments about the Liverpool fans being responsible is not entirely correct. As we now know the reasons were mainly twofold. First & foremost the Police & management of crowd control was atrocious added to that the Liverpool fans who were being kept outside the ground were obviously becoming impatient as they didn’t want to miss the kick off. It was when the order to open up more access points that the rush ensued. I think the limited police presence outside the ground feared a riot & were pleased to see the fans move off the street & into the ground where they could be penned up & managed more easily. Very sad set of unfortunate circumstances & as a forest fan my sympathies to all those families that lost loved ones 🙏🏻
i went 2 a lot of footy in the 70/80s n it WAS an accident waiting to happen ,too many people allowed i with no tickets- turnstile operators always took cash for a pay day ,not like that went 2 the clubs .It happened week in week out at old trafford wembley klanfield all over the show . Cut to 1999 watching Blackburn v man city - from a field next to ewood park cos the fuckin best view[point ( a tree) all the tickets were sold for that ! :D we had a commentator in that tree,motty he was not! but brians right you can see there was an issue n no one backed off they kept pushing more people in cos thats what footy fans did
@@SteRDLK got relegated again though shortly after, spent 23 years in the 2nd division, even now, struggling to stay in the premier league having spent a fortune.

Terrace bows to you Sir Brian Clough RIP
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.
Legend of a man.There will never be another like him.RIP Brian you will always be remembered.

I think the limited police presence outside the ground feared a riot & were pleased to see the fans move off the street & into the ground where they could be penned up & managed more easily. Very sad set of unfortunate circumstances & as a forest fan my sympathies to all those families that lost loved ones 🙏🏻
i went 2 a lot of footy in the 70/80s n it WAS an accident waiting to happen ,too many people allowed i with no tickets- turnstile operators always took cash for a pay day ,not like that went 2 the clubs .It happened week in week out at old trafford wembley klanfield all over the show .
Cut to 1999 watching Blackburn v man city - from a field next to ewood park cos the fuckin best view[point ( a tree) all the tickets were sold for that ! :D we had a commentator in that tree,motty he was not! but brians right you can see there was an issue n no one backed off they kept pushing more people in cos thats what footy fans did
Ray thanks for your comments You sound like a sensible chap
Looks so much healthier than on relegation day defeat...LEGEND
Put Clive in his place, straight talking.
Legend
The one and only......
Clough legend. Forest have never recovered post Clough.
He got them relegated, his successor got them promoted and finished third. Never recovered, load of shite.
@@SteRDLK got relegated again though shortly after, spent 23 years in the 2nd division, even now, struggling to stay in the premier league having spent a fortune.
What a formidable and shrewd man. And humourous.
Brilliant manager brilliant man so funny kind of man you'd walk through a wall for.
I was at Roker Park on 26.12.62

Terrace bows to you Sir Brian Clough RIP
He is right Liverpool fans caused the Hillsborough disaster. Ticketless fans forcing their way in
Cloughie had the measure of him ..... Young man .....
Happened twice hasn’t it with Liverpool fans hmm
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.
Clough was a character and his football managerial record speaks for itself
