Nobody tells these Cloughie stories better than big Mark and his impressions are superb. Could listen to the big man all day. Cloughie was a total one off but his record speaks for itself. And Mark was a very fine goalkeeper in his day. 👏👏
@@pkune5158 Do you feel good chipping in with a swipe about alcohol? You obviously don't have the intelligence to understand the complexities of alcoholism. I hope you feel like a proper big man. Pat in the back for you.
Brian Clough was a legend, but what a character Mark Crossley is. He was a great goalkeeper, and as a die hard Forest fan I think he was the second best keeper we ever had after Peter Shilton. He made some bloopers but oh my word, did he pull off some absolute world-class saves against some phenomenal opposition.
I can't get enough of MC's stories and impressions of Cloughie. Top drawer and never fails to make me laugh. Clough was definitely a special kind of genius and despite some of the more "cruel" stunts he pulled on his players, they still speak very fondly of him.
Liverpool fan and I idolise cloughie. The man along with Peter Taylor were pure magic and the respect and success they achieved you have to acknowledge never mind who you support. Sadly we’ll never see the likes again as football now is all dirty money, corrupt owners and managers who squander billions and they are not fit to lace cloughis boots. God bless you Brian and Peter you were a a pain to my club but they were great days.
I have zero interest in football (loved it when I was 8, had trophies and all that crap) but absolutely love Brian Clough - a real human being - this was amazing. Mark Crossley missed his calling as an impressionist, what a champ! This was a right laugh from start to finish, an absolute joy.
I could listen to stories about Cloughie all day long,I’m so glad to have watched Football in that era,can you imagine him being around in today’s game?
Lifelong lfc fan here. It's testament to Bryan clough that I would of loved him at lfc and we had some greats. Bryan was cut from a different cloth. True manager and his achievements suggest the same
Clough was a genius with human relationships …that unique blend of humour authority and mystique which can get people to do what they wouldn’t normally do ….always sensing what was the approach which would get results .( I only experienced this magic once in my working life ) What a tragedy the drink got him in the end …..nice if we could still be feeding from his wisdom
Whenever I saw Brian Clough on tv, I was always impressed by his obvious intelligence and honesty. This is the first time I have heard anyone else talk about him. Thank you. Great stories.
Wolves fan. Totally love this. We had some great men in the east and west midlands back then. Have lots of respect for Foest, Derby, Leicester, Stoke, Brum, Albion etc. We've all sufferered the championship for far too long whilst London and the North West have had all the money and the glory.
I met Mark in the bar after Arsenal played Forest at the City Ground. Dave Bassett was the manager then (don’t get me started on that) and Mark wasn’t playing in the first team - Beasant being preferred. He was a lovely man and I thought a much better keeper than Beasant. Great to hear his stories. He will always be a Forest legend.
I love to hear these stories. I have no affiliations with any club that Sir Brian managed but what an absolute genius and legend this man is. All this from a time where supporters could actually relate to footballers. Tales of this nature are now a thing of the past. Modern footballers can only tell stories of how they demanded 200k a week before turning out for the.junior team, behaved like brats in pre school & shagged their team mates birds.
I played golf in Portugal some years back and sat near some gentlemen of an older age.......I was by my self and could here what they were talking about-their days when they played football with 'Alex Ferguson' I could of sat there all night listening to them, shame I didn't get chance to buy them a drink as my lift turned up. Great stories from videos such as this.
Hi Mark a absolutely brilliant summing up of Brian Clough probably had no coaching certificates born winner I'm glad you made the grade it must have been meant for you Thanks
I got to the end of this and just started chuckling at the notion of Clough giving 19-year-old Crossley the nickname Shithouse. Hahahaha. Imagine playing for the man, that atmosphere. You'd play your heart out for a man like that, out of pure terror!
haha top stories. i like crossley, he was born 10 miles from where i live and his penalty save record has got to be the best of any keeper in history. he even saved a matt le tissier penalty, nobody else ever did.
Woke up this morning to this , honestly that story has made my day, I’m a life long Leeds fan but I’ve always loved Brian Clough and read most of his books but that story with the £50 fine 😂 Brilliant..Thankyou ❤
Made up Forrest are back in top flight, one of the great English sides, Mark Crossley was a really good goalie from what I remember.. Cloughie proper legend
I love Mark Crossley reminiscing about these great Cloughie stories. Cloughies goal scoring record as a player was exceptional, but to win two league titles and then two European cups with unfashionable teams is an incredible achievement which will never be challenged. Nothing but ultimate respect for Brian Clough, a true original, a one off character………..I’m a Chelsea fan by the way for the past 55 years.

On a shoestring budget. Fergie wouldn't have had a clue where to start. Plus I bet you don't even go to OT just another bandwagon supporter following the glory 🔴🌳
Those were wonderful stories. I only have to hear "Now then young man" and I'm in stitches already. Growing up in Ireland I was a Man Utd fan since I was 6 years old in 1968 because of George Best and my friends were all fans of Arsenal, West Ham, Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea but the Forest team of the late 70s became everybody's second favourite team. I still hope for the days when they will be challenging for the Premier League title again. Winning two European Cups, what an achievement. Cloughie was a once-off, for sure. Imagine calling a 19-year-old player "Shithouse" today, and the £50 fine! Sports psychologists wouldn't know where to start with that one!
I hope Forest bring out their 2 Euro cups n do a Cloughie tribute for his whole family on pitch as celebrations before first match back in Prem! Imagine the noise n buzz, first game win in the bag no matter who it is! I'm excited n I'm a Villa Fan! Welcome back Forest! 👍🙏😎
Wow, 19 in 1988 and earning 120 quid a week as a professional footballer. I was also 19 in 1988 and was earning about the same labouring on building sites in London. How times have changed...
Growing up in Ireland ther was allways something special about the City Ground and Clough in the dug out #Match of the day when my da use to let me stay up #great times
Forest back in the big time....not even a fan but I'm delighted.... fantastic fans.like the bloke above said....they need to bring out the two European cups with the Clough family front and center
Man cloughie was a one off a maverick. Know wonder he never got the england job can you imagine Bert mills hip,ted Crocker old fogies of the FA. Top man mark crossly and I am old enough to remember he very well.well done
A good friend of mine told me a story about when his friend was in the Nottingham hospital, and in the next bed was Brian clough's brother. After Brian had visited his brother a couple if times, the next time he visited he marched the team up the ward, as my mates friend was a Forrest fan. He just could not believe his eyes when he saw them all there with Brian. Cloughy was a one off, someone very very special.
Thanks James…. so many people to talk to, so little time! Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel for free, to see more videos from the past and future come up on your RUclips feed. Cheers!!
I worked in a top class hotel in a city where the 1st division visiting teams and staff would always stay on match weekend. Cloughy enjoyed using the 5 star fine dining restaurant for dinners with plenty of booze thrown in and once in Wellington boots .legend 😆🙏
Absolutely love these Cloughie stories and Crossley is brilliant at telling them , was fortunate enough to have the great man see me play in a friendly for King's Lynn against Forest back in 89 and just knowing he was sat in the stands was spine tingling for me as a Forest fan. John Sheridan played in that game , don't think he made another appearance for us. Forest won 5-0 , Lee Chapman hat-trick. Was something to do with Steve Sutton's testimonial year i think.
Bless you Mark ...I saw you play against us (Tottenham) several times....Just great to hear stories from the inside of the only manager I rate above the awful man that is |Fergie.
Brilliant recollections by Mark you can hear and see the impact Brian Clough had on him unfortunately I never got to see Brian play live only on film as I was to young and didn’t get to see my first match at Roker park until early 1965 when I was 8 yo Cloughie was loved at Sunderland
Great interview, telling it as it is, non of this bloody pc crap. Quite appropriate, one of my best mates played under Cloughie at Derby, so I’ve had a few insights & amusing anecdotes. What Ricky did say is that Taylor was the real football brains behind their success but Cloughie cud man manage. But, boy, was he a character. unforgettable and not a nasty man, from the stories I’ve been told he enjoyed the banter and he had to be his way. Pity there aren’t more individuals like him this is the age of zero Charisma, he definitely had it. I loved the story of Wee Archie running the line, i came close to playing alongside him when he was at St Mirren, I played for a provincial club & they were approached by a scout for St Mirren to see if they wud release me for trials with them but the club wouldn’t agree. That’s another side of football I’m afraid. The club was approached by scouts from other senior clubs in Scotland & also Woolwich Arsenal & Millwall. But we’re intent on keeping a hold of me. I was a goalkeeper. Loved the Goalkeeping, still do.
Brian Clough said something like he was "the shop window" and Peter Taylor was "the goods in the back". These days managers/head coaches have media training hence the lack of memorable quotes from press conferences. He did make some errors in signing players, notably Justin Fashanu but so does every manager.
The best manager the UK has ever produced full stop. I am a life long Wolves fan and how I wish we'd had the privilege of him managing us. RIP Mr. Clough.

That's exactly my thought on that, well said, " Now listen here young man" always remember him saying those words too.
Well said I totally agree

Clough also insulted the Head of the FA as he walked into FA headquarters. Which might have had something to do with him not getting the job.

I was a goalkeeper. Loved the Goalkeeping, still do.
Brian Clough said something like he was "the shop window" and Peter Taylor was "the goods in the back". These days managers/head coaches have media training hence the lack of memorable quotes from press conferences. He did make some errors in signing players, notably Justin Fashanu but so does every manager.
I dare anyone to go and look at his stats while he played. Absolute baller.
