I think some of the stories may have been embellished but Clough was so unique a character that the stories remain credible. He was keen to ensure no one got above themselves and despite being the country's then record signing Trevor Francis had to make the tea just like everyone else.
@@geoffpoole483 In general I would usually agree,but with Clough(a real unique controversial, motivating Genius and Loon!)I tend to think this is how it played out! ..It was the same with Bill Shankly who I always make an effort to watch any vids of him in!..He had this larger than life personality &was massive on mind games& Psychology..And he had the utmost respect for the fans!..U can still see why today he and Brian Clough are still spoken about with such reverence!
Mark Crossley's Cloughie stories are fantastic, could listen to him all day long telling them! Brian Clough....what a man, what a character, what an absolute legend!!! No characters in football any more, totally ruined by money and VAR!!!!!!
@Maxwell Boyne Crossley has told this story differently before. It gets slightly more embellished upon every time its told. This happens with almost every great/funny story that is ever told though whether it's Crossley or a mate down the pub, especially the further in the past the actual event happened. The fraud part though needs to be put into context. I don't think it has anything to do with Clough being a socialist and far more to do with the idea that the advertisement could be seen that it would be Stuart Pearce himself showing up to the jobs that would of course be ridiculous given his level of fame at the time. It's more to do with the insinuation that Pearce had any involvement in the company anymore other than it being still within his family. Not strictly him having any part in it other than his brother using his name.
Not sure his style of management would work today, players simply wouldn’t listen. There’s no discipline anymore in football and footballers nowadays are more bigger than their clubs.. The manager would be sacked wayyyyy before any player would. Completely different era.
worked for AVBC and saw the great man many times, either in the paper shop or on his rounds.. we would cut the grass verges or tarmac the footpaths.. gritting in winter and always he would have time for the working people, even standing on Trent bridge with a bucket during the miners strike, he was the kind of man that everyone would have loved to be their dad.. if he had one fault , i would say that he made a crap cup of tea ..but the thought was there 🤣😂
I heard a story like this before and the manager tried this trick thinking he was clever with one of the players and the player picked up the iron and smashed it off the wall and said to the manager you will have to buy a new iron that one is fucked 😂😂😂😂brilliant😂😂😂
Just brilliant. Can we have the Edward Sheringham story please??? The one where BC discusses the impossibility of himself going nine games without scoring.
I'm a gooner but will never forget as a kid at the dell forest vs Southampton during the warm up mark came from the goal too the halfway line took off his gloves and signed my program
The Pearce impression is by far the best impression Mark Crossley has ever done in any of these videos.Maybe because I'm Scottish,but it's like he's on stars in their eyes 😂😂😂
I just found out that Brian Clough was the first chairman of the Anti-Nazi league against racists and racism formed following really nasty racist stuff Eric Clapton said in a gig in Birmingham. Clough has just shot well up in my estimation (he always was even as a Cov fan).
Great Impression Shame he couldnt get the story Right. It was a Kettle not a Iron and he didnt fix it it needed an element and thats why he called him a fraud because he didn't fix it. Thats straight from Stuart Pearce.
Way back in the day my father was CFO of a large UK based moving company that had relocated a new player , unfortunately the player didnt pay his invoice after several phone calls so Dad had a court order against the player and the court date was for a midweek game date. Mr Clough called Dad the day before the date explaining why the player would not be in court and dad told him unless invoice was paid in cash by 9.00 am the day of court the case wound proceed, Mr Clough drove down with player and that night and paid in 1 pound notes.
How many stories like this would you get out of the current crop of pampered players? Miss the time when football was a working man's game with proper down to earth characters.
A lad who played in Forest apprentice and reserves in the late seventies told us some great stories re. Cloughie and his first few weeks in charge. An absolute bullshitter but coaching genius when it came to the player psychology.
English football on and off the pitch is better then anywhere. My jaw muscles are sore af from constant smiling,especially after the 1 an half hour one my face was sore for 3 days. Mark fantastic fella especially cloughie who we know would never of signed rubbish.
Brian Clough is fuckin hilarious. Definitely one of a kind manager. If only football had managers like him nowadays it wouldn't be so pantomime like it is
mark crossley is a brilliant story teller.i could listen to him all day talk about cloughie!!🤣
Mark crossley’s cloughie impression is perfect 😂😂😂
The Stuart Pearce one ain't bad either!🤣🤣
Fucking brilliant
I agree it’s like he’s still here

I love Brian Clough! The world needs more people like him! 😂
I never get tired of listening to this man talk about Clough
Absolutely brilliant story about Cloughie, met him when I was a thirteen year old lad 1962 and I idolised him. RIP Mr. Clough.
Mark crossley is the best ever doing cloughie stories with that impression it’s quality
The love Crossley has for Clough is wonderful.
"I thought you were SHIT, son..... wasn't he, lads?" 😂😂😂😂😂
“What can I do for you shithouse..?” 😂😂😂
Paddy McGuinness telling a great Cloughie story there🤣
The difference being Crossley is funny and McGuiness isnt
Superb! Would love to see Michael Sheen reprise his role from The Dammed United and do The Forest Years there's so much material out there.
I’d pay to see that movie in the cinema!!!
Me too!
@@cutelittledoll well that’s usually what people do
@@richiewarren547 no, some wait for it come out on dvd, download etc. Numpty!
Cast a young actor as the reporter and have Michael Sheen playing the Clough from the era portrayed in the ‘Provided you don’t kiss me’ book
Mark Crossley's Cloughie stories are fantastic, could listen to him all day long telling them! Brian Clough....what a man, what a character, what an absolute legend!!! No characters in football any more, totally ruined by money and VAR!!!!!!
Things that make me proud to be English
1. Shakespeare
2. Dickens
3. Blake
4. Every single Brian Clough story ive ever heard.
Which one of Blake 7 ?
Haha I totally agree I was not even born when he was managing and I ain’t laughed or loved someone so much that I have no clue about lol
Cloughie should be in at number 1 son
Craig Shakespeare?
Met mark last night whilst I was at work at the Ibrox bar in Tenerife! What a guy! Genuinely nice fella!
Marks impression of Clough is class😅
I love Brian clough stories

Miss him, one of the best characters in the game. Great story 👍
The impressions are the best bit…brilliant 😂
I mean Cloughie was amazing, but so was Mark telling this story! Delivery, impressions and all!
I think Mark Crossley is a brilliant story teller. A great impersonation of the great man. Never lost his Barnsley accent either
Absolutely classic story, mark crossley superb.
Wasn’t he lads 😂😂
Wish Clough was around now. Some of today's players would be scared shitless. Brilliant manager. One of the greatest ever.
I would be very interested to see cloughs reaction to Jesse lingard going to forest
@@ArmyofLove me too!

Completely different era.
They wouldn't sign for or play for him these days though - coaches/managers have to be best mates with players today, not bosses.
@@SuperMillwall They'd put in a transfer request and go on strike!
Crossley is a good mimic, got cloughie dwn to a tee.😀
Cloughie was a psychological genius
Superb impressions from Mark!
The clough and Pearce impressions are ridiculously amazing 😂😂😂
1:51 He woks ova t'ball and he kicks ball off towel
I hope Mark Crossley does after dinner work. He's a natural.
Brilliant story, told brilliantly!! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Crying with laughter
Mark's story telling is brilliant.
Crossleys impressions are mustard
great impression of pearcey
“I fawt I fuckin done awaight”
Norman is great at telling Clough us stories 😂😂👏👏

This is one of my favourite ever RUclips vids. I’ve watched this five times so far today 😂
Crossley has the most Yorkshire face ever 😆
I heard a story like this before and the manager tried this trick thinking he was clever with one of the players and the player picked up the iron and smashed it off the wall and said to the manager you will have to buy a new iron that one is fucked 😂😂😂😂brilliant😂😂😂
I'm not a forest fan but I love all the crazy stories about clough you hear especially the ones mark cross-eyed tells
Another absolute belter 👏👏👏👏, as someone who's struggled with gambling, I can totally relate to this, some great stories too 👌👌
Just heard his impression of Frank Clark at the end too 😂😂
Absolute stuff of legend and what a master raconteur Crossley is. Loved it.
Close your eyes, you’d think Cloughie and Pearce were here 😂
My vote for Mark Crossley best story teller on the planet
Just brilliant. Can we have the Edward Sheringham story please??? The one where BC discusses the impossibility of himself going nine games without scoring.
The best manager England never had
Brilliant impressions are bang on hahaha
Best podcast around, definitely joining patreon!
I'm a gooner but will never forget as a kid at the dell forest vs Southampton during the warm up mark came from the goal too the halfway line took off his gloves and signed my program
🤣😂🤣😭 would pay money to go to an evening of that brilliant
This mans delivery is next level 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely hilarious and Cloughie to a T!!
Classic, when Football was great with great characters 👍
I used to go to Wealdstone in the 70s when Stuart Pearce was playing for them. Never saw Vinnie Jones play for them though.
Class .mark was a good keeper
He forget to carry the Stuart Pearce impression on... 😂
The greatest England manager england never had R I P brian thanks for the memories
Should have been cast in The Damned United instead of Michael Sheen 😂
Great story teller
LMAO Crossers impersonation is sport on...bloody brilliant.
“Young man!” They don’t make them like Crain Clough anymore...
The Pearce impression is by far the best impression Mark Crossley has ever done in any of these videos.Maybe because I'm Scottish,but it's like he's on stars in their eyes 😂😂😂
Yea oi fought I done alrioight yea
Well produced!
Excellent Cloughie impression.
i was lucky enough to meet BC 3 times,wow
Think I know this word for word now , its so funny
Genius from Cloughie. Don’t think would get that level of skill in todays leadership and training programs, not in my organisation anyway
What a fab stab at Cloughie. Brilliant.
I just found out that Brian Clough was the first chairman of the Anti-Nazi league against racists and racism formed following really nasty racist stuff Eric Clapton said in a gig in Birmingham. Clough has just shot well up in my estimation (he always was even as a Cov fan).
Thank you so much
Enjoyed that thanks
Loved This one!
🤣
Crossley is a genius
Great Impression Shame he couldnt get the story Right. It was a Kettle not a Iron and he didnt fix it it needed an element and thats why he called him a fraud because he didn't fix it. Thats straight from Stuart Pearce.
yeah what you said was way more funny and entertaining there Fergus.
@@andthingsofthisnatureBet he's fun at parties! 🎉

Class Cloughie impression 🤣🤣
This is brilliant
"our captain's a fraud lads" 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant!!
Great story !
brilliant story 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best prime minister we never had
Absolute classic
This is brilliant 👍
Do people from Yorkshire know the word the?
Cracks me up this. Calling the legend that is Stuart Pearce a fraud ffs . Only Cloughie could do that🤣🤣🤣
Captain of which team?
I didn't catch that enough at the start of the video
Cloughie never missed a thing but even players who hated him wanted to do well for him. Good managers have that effect.
How many stories like this would you get out of the current crop of pampered players?
Miss the time when football was a working man's game with proper down to earth characters.
Total Genius
I want NEW stories. Heard him tell this same story a few times over years now.
Well that's gonna be difficult seeing as Clough is dead, tend not to get more material out of dead people.
Respect to the man that saved Gary Lineker's penalty in the 1991 F.A cup final!!

brilliant stuff.
