I was proud to be one of the Sheffield United fans at his last game, and there was no hesitation in joining in with us singing his praises. His thumbs-up to us was beautiful. R.I.P. Brian and thanks for the memories
Brian achieves all he did while being pissed up. The drink was a double a doubled edged sword. It helped create his genius and opened up his neorealism’s to the game his players and life. He rode the highs of it and it worked.
He robbed Testimonial money from Jimmy Gordon his trainer at Derby & Forest. £7000 was raised he immediately took £3000 from it..Jimmy had very little reward for decades in the game. Despicable by Clough. This is fact & witnessed. People just close his ears to this as they have a saintly image of him. He was ruthless & took plenty under the table money from transfers.
As an 11 year old boy in far off Sydney Australia in 1973, the only Football we saw on TV was The Big Match from the UK. Seeing this bloke Brian Clough, hearing his controversial and outspoken comments was one of the biggest things that started my life long love of the beautiful game. I was fascinated by Brian Clough, his fall at Leeds United did not dim my view of him. I still loved him. Then, seeing him go on to achieve at the highest level at Nottingham Forest did not surprise me one bit. I have 3 all time football heroes... Brian Clough, Johan Cruyff, and Diego Maradona. That is how highly I regard Brian Clough. If only the FA had the guts to appoint him England Manager. What could have been?
The thing is it was a sport. Yes, a professional game with lots of money swilling around, but at its core, a sport. Can we still say that about the "product" we have today? Foreign owners with questionable intentions. Players that care more about their social media and salary than winning matches. Ordinary fans that are priced out in favour of tourists who go to games for 'experiences' and to get some Instagram content.
As a Liverpool Fan, the only Manager I didn't mind losing the League to was (SIR) Brian Clough. He would be a great addition to modern football, and would snap these little pampered emotional charlatans into reality. What a Manager.
As a die hard forest fan im not embarrassed to say my eyes just flooded watching this especially the last 10min RIP BRIAN CLOUGH FOREST WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ❤
I am from/living in Liverpool, I was a Liverpool supporter we Hated Him, I can tell you why we Hated Him (it was a hidden respect) for him taking two established 2nd division east midlands clubs from No Hopers to League Champions,. One was cruelly cheated in a European Cup Semi-Final and the other Won 2 European Cups beating Liverpool on the way!. Leeds messed up and will for ever Regret sacking him The Football Association rejected him in 1974 and 77 as they would have Hated his outlook on changing The Hole Set Up. England would have easily won The European Championship's and reached the World Cup semis or Finals and could have won it The Man was a Legend
WoW! Respect, one hundred percent respect. Brian knew football like nobody else,I may not aline with his political views but as a player and especially as a manager he was second to none and a true legend and leader in the game of football
I’m a Scot but England would have won it all with that man ,,he was one of the greatest managers , shanks paisley Ferguson,stein,smith,Ramsey and my fav Kenny 😮
I always come across something Brian Clough on a Sunday morning. The wife’s still asleep,I’m up chilling and on RUclips up pops and some video on the man and afterwards i always watch The Damned United
sat me on his knee at a Manchester United reserve game in the late 80's at Old Trafford asking me who my favourite players were, he was impressed when I said Mark Hughes and Bryan Robson - LEGEND
👍🏼 Thanks for a great Cloughie documentary. In my opinion, the best football manager ever. A complete one-off: a legend who will always be missed…it was a pleasure to grow-up in an era of football that involved superb characters like Cloughie who always had plenty to say, the media loved him as much we fans did! 🤩
Very emotional to watch in parts. Whatever his faults he remains the most fascinating and charismatic character I can recall in 60 years as a Football fan...RIP Brian
Greatest English club manager that never got the top job!!!...⚽️👏🏻😍 Cloughie is the sort that will never be seen in the game ever again unfortunately and the game is a poorer place 4 that...What an absolute legend you really were Mr Brian Clough...♥️⚽️👏🏻
There are manager's who can do it with big name clubs, but there are very few who could achieve major success with relatively small clubs in a big club league, he had something very few could match, extraordinary man.
Somewhere on RUclips is a video of Clough at Derby in 1970, just as things were starting to take off. It's fascinating to watch because no one has an inkling about what was to happen at Derby, let alone Nottingham Forest.
Not a good human tho. He robbed people, under the table money, even Jimmy Gordon's testimonial which raised £7000 & straight after the match he went to the money office & took £3000 of it. Jimmy wasn't well off & it was the lowest of the low to do that to that little man approaching retirement. That defines him not his football heights.
Paul Gascoigne had got himself well over excited for that spurs forest final and was lucky not to have maimed two of the forest players but did himself in the end ..sad that Cloughie never got that trophy..
Clough and Revie grew up in Middlesbrough a stones throw away from each other, interesting how two men with practically the same upbringing and social environment could be as opposite as they were but both excellent managers who achieved.
Its sad the programme does not highlight what Clough's football style entailed in terms of how they played the game in terms of tactics and structure of play..

Great family man proper football manager and a great man manager and a great character…..still miss/love him today……no one else like him then or now never will be! He’s not the greatest manager but he’s defiantly in the top 1 ❤️

He could be a nasty man and did some nasty things but would not tolerate any nastiness in his players. No backchat to referees, no thuggery (and several of his players were amongst the hardest thugs in the game before they played for Clough , Kenny Burns anyone). No underhand tactics. His team won things playing football. He not only called LeedsUnited thugs, but labelled them cheats. He did sully his reputation at a match v qpr at the city ground which I was at. (Tickets on front row of main stand courtesy of Franz Carr) About 10 yards in front of us he slapped a couple of fans for walking on his pitch after the game. It was all over the news at the time, but what wasn’t reported was the reaction of the crowd, especially those in the main stand. They were livid at Clough. People were screaming at him, how dare he? He’s gone too far. One or two near me tried to get on the pitch to remonstrate with him, but luckily were prevented by others. This was 1989 and I think his sad decline into alcoholism had already begun.
Brian was the best manager in the history of the game in my opinion,he was also the greatest interviewee next to one man,the man who said Clough that’s enough at the start of the program.
Here's a true Clough story that people dont want to hear. His team trainer of many years at both Derby & Forest was Jimmy Gordon a ex pro who Clough relied on a lot but didn't pay him a lot, just an average worker wage. Forest gave him a Testimonial Forest v Derby. Clough told the Treasurer that he would be taking some of that money for the 'club' ie his wallet. After the match Gordon eventually went to the the Treasurer to collect his money which had raised £7000. The treasurer told him that Clough had already been down & took £3000 his cut. That money was for Jimmy who had given Clough nearly two decades of loyal service for very little, it was a despicable thing to do.
As a Liverpool fan and seen Shanks Team of the 60s then the 70s, and Paisleys teams of the 70s and 80s, and Leeds with Revie, there is this Other Guy who took two teams from the Doldrums to Greatness, firstly with Derby County and then Forest, what a manager, what a Person, No Nonsense Mr Clough, and being honest if he was Englands Manager he would have won the World Cup. Clough up there with the Best.
A true legend,a great man and yet the gutter media still wanted to drag him through the mud,as an Arsenal supporter I followed Forest with interest because of Mr.Clough👍
Le portrait qu'en avait fait David Peace dans "45 jours" semblait très crédible. Il voulait changer le style du jeu anglais, style continental, ce qu'avait aussi préconisé Bob Paislay avec Liverpool. Il avait, il me semble, un problème avec l'alcool.
Manny Couzens "we're sacking him because for years we've been spoilt by Don Revie"😂😂😂 MOT4LIFE he was a good manager though when he had the backing of the boardroom and players like at forest first British club to win back to back European cups 🏆🏆
I think one of saddest thing about this great man was that he clearly a great striker as well as manager and sad jealous twats kicked him out of the game.
Not a dictator, more a genius misunderstood.. why dictator, because he took no shit.. he was better than the administrators, why be jealous an envious of someone because they were great at what they we're doing.
Forest supporters can never repay Clough and Taylor for what he did. I’d like to think the Nottingham spirit for rebellion attracted him. Interestingly the quality of football in the late 80s was sublime, that was down to his coaching staff and his off handed approach that simply said let your football do the talking.
England made a mistake not appointing this man as manager we could have had another world cup and possibly more ,this man was world class look what he did with Nottingham forest won them two champions league's back to back ,he was close to the players in his squad and he knew them like the back of his hand I think he would have done well internationally ,they should have gave him a chance R .I .P Brian clough you will never be forgotten
You have to look at Leeds after they sacked Clough, and Nottingham Forest after they hired him. Who got it right? I was a Leeds fan from 69 but they are bent bunch of match fixing bastards
The sad thing is, he was right about the centre halfs letting goals in for monetary gains it was proven years later at Boro, can’t think of the defenders now
I was proud to be one of the Sheffield United fans at his last game, and there was no hesitation in joining in with us singing his praises. His thumbs-up to us was beautiful. R.I.P. Brian and thanks for the memories
Clough was special. England hasn't produced a manager like him since.
Football aside he was special either way
Brian achieves all he did while being pissed up. The drink was a double a doubled edged sword. It helped create his genius and opened up his neorealism’s to the game his players and life.
He rode the highs of it and it worked.

Football back then seems to be another sport from another planet when set against today’s game
Spot on , I still follow and watch my team (Forest) but the soul has been removed from the game
It's reflects the country.
Globalism. Same forces destroying the nation are destroying the sport…
That’s the same for the whole world

No a great football man “THE” greatest football man

By a million miles. Only England could have denied him the top job . Nothing changed since then really. 🏴
True …football really miss Brian clough now … even Mohamed Ali love clough …
When you see and hear Brian Clough on this documentary, one begins to see what a marvellous job Michael Sheen does of portraying him.
Sheen’s impressions are terrible, including his Clough.

He never got over from Peter Taylor's death. Haunted him the rest of his life he didn't make a piece with Taylor and that's why he started drinking.
sat me on his knee at a Manchester United reserve game in the late 80's at Old Trafford asking me who my favourite players were, he was impressed when I said Mark Hughes and Bryan Robson - LEGEND
An absolute genius, the greatest English manager that has ever been.
👍🏼
Thanks for a great Cloughie documentary.

What he said about the FA is spot on. Look at Southgate, he was just a "nice" man.
A genius with a record to prove it.
At 57 Cloughie looked 70 due to alcohol but still an absolute legend of a man. RIP Sir 🙏❤
To be fair to him at 65 he looked 65.
When I see how handsome he was as a younger man I can see how ravaged he was by drink as he got older.
Greatest English club manager that never got the top job!!!...⚽️👏🏻😍 Cloughie is the sort that will never be seen in the game ever again unfortunately and the game is a poorer place 4 that...What an absolute legend you really were Mr Brian Clough...♥️⚽️👏🏻
Best manager of his generation . The 1 England missed out on . Coming from a Scotsman. Brilliant Man. ❤

Me and my mate was stood in the Trent End on his last day.... I still have a handful of grass from the turf from that day.
Me and my brother was in Trent End that day. We were 18 back then and Forest and Cloughie were our passion. Loved the Trent End 👍
his son nigel is very underated
Would have made a great assistant for Gareth Southgate I’m sure. Or even Lee carsley now .

The best football manager and man-manager (which is a different skill) that ever lived and that's coming from a Wolves fan.
Not a good human tho. He robbed people, under the table money, even Jimmy Gordon's testimonial which raised £7000 & straight after the match he went to the money office & took £3000 of it.

One word sums Brian Clough up. Genius.
Thought he was gonna say Alki
Very clever man …always love cloughie..
Thanks for uploading :)
Cloughie was simply the best 🙏🏻
I'm from scotlandstan age 69 but loved cloughie, great man, he would have been great as British PM, top top guy
It was great to see how well he looked at the end of the interview and how much awe great players held him in. A feel good programme
Ah man, that was great. Thanks for the upload...
Paul Gascoigne had got himself well over excited for that spurs forest final and was lucky not to have maimed two of the forest players but did himself in the end ..sad that Cloughie never got that trophy..
Still remember that game because of that incident!
Sad he didn’t get that FA cup trophy , but tragic he didn’t get that England job🏴
Brian clough unorthodox, enigma a brilliant genius

The greatest England manager we never had.
Brian was the best manager in the history of the game in my opinion,he was also the greatest interviewee next to one man,the man who said Clough that’s enough at the start of the program.
He was probably the best motivator but there were many better coaches than him.
We also had a great unsung manager in Nottingham jimmy sirrel of notts county

He was a one off. I am a Nottingham lad and was 16 in 1979. Nottingham was buzzing back them because if Brian clough and a great forest team
i dont know if this is right or wrong, but i understand arrogance when you are *THAT* good.
I liked the use of sountracks from films from the North. Get Carter. Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Heavy drinking ages you horribly.
After 45 clough was looking 10 years older than he really was.
A great manager probably the best uk manager ever
Sir Alex Ferguson.
What a wonderful chapter in the history of British football. RIP Cloughie, one of the best!
Walter Winterbottom didn't pick Clough to play for England. It was the FA Select Committee who picked the players.
Oh how I wish more men in this world were made like Cloughy. Sadly missed and always remembered.
Absolutely brilliant. What a man. What a career.
What a man ❤
If you like in the dictionary for the definition of the word "greatest", they just have a picture of Brian Clough.
Clough is proof Mourinho is not original
Van Gaal was mentor of Jose
