- Recently went digging through some of my Dad's old VHS tapes of football bits-and-bobs. Found this lovely little six-minute tribute to Cloughy, broadcast on the occasion of his retirement from football, 1993.
His back-to-back European Cups at Forest will forever stand as professional football's greatest achievement.
I think not.
paisley done it first
@@seanbonellawith a much bigger club.. Clough wins
He's the only manager I shed a tear for when he passed, a bright light dimmed that day, god bless the great Brian Clough
And Bobby Robson ! One should’ve got the job,the other did and was lambasted the same for taking it ! 2 great football men !
There was a time during my childhood when the funniest man on television wasn't a comedian but a football manager.
sadly the game lacks such characters as Brian, what a genius
As long as the game has Mourinho, it is not lacking in characeters
He was a character that's why the media dubbed him the greatest..
His final 12 seasons at forest wer very bad
@@lewispewsey6843 his final 12 seasons he won 2 littlewoods cup trophies equivalent as EFL CUP OF TODAY pal
.
Brian clough was a legendary tv entertainer
And a great manager but he is labeled as the greatest cos of his sheer entertainment on the tv screen..
1993 final day of the season a female police officer after the match she hugged clough and sed 》》 I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL BUT THIS MAN clough IS A LEGEND 🧐🤔🤔🤔
ERM !!!!
HOW DOES THAT WORK ?
ERM?
She knew nothing about football but she called clough a legend.
What she meant was clough was a character on the tv screen that labeled him up their with the 1970s /80s legendary comedians David Jason
And ronnie barker and many more .
.
Aston villa did back to back major trophies sssshhhh but no one will remember them WHY WHY WHY ??
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ENTERTAINER IN THEIR SIDE ..
TRUE.
Let's see how you respond to this PSL
@@Kill--alllll---IDF he was amazing, wasn't he, to win 2 European cups with an unfancied provincial club is as hard as it gets, and he must of been some player to have scored 251 league goals in 274 games. That's Messi/CR7 type rate and career cut short, he was too big for the dead wood at the f.a.
@@shaunpalmer3216 ok let's see how u answer this 》》Aston villa 1981 / 1982 how the frigging heck did they win league title and European Cup WTF .
Villa wer the Everton of today
.
Hey but nooooo one remembers villa
Absolutely noo one remembers villa.
But wen it comes to notts forest then hey 👋 it's Brian clough lol
.
Cloughs final 12 seasons at forest wer disastrous
Do ur research kid !
I Don't need to do research I was 16 in 1981
If only he could come back for a week, or a day, or an hour even, just to make us all smile.
ysgol3 😢
David Robinson Brian said many times how much he regretted the terms he and Peter were on when he passed
Or be Prime Minister...
I second that motion.
@@scottharbison3824 Lovely, thanks.
I was there as a blade when forest went down, to a man every United fan was singing there's only one Brian Clough, enough said.
I was there...1993...0-2. The thumbs up when Sheffield Utd. started singing 😊
Wonderful gesture by Blades fans. And stands the test of time. Brilliantly.
Remember it well, was truly moving to see the United fans singing his name.
Brian Clough thanked us afterwards in an interview. Wish we’d lost that day 😢
I was there too ❤❤cloughie
Legend. He might not have been the best football manager there ever was but he'd be in the Top 1.
I could listen to Brian Clough for days on end. We were so lucky to be blessed with this extraordinary man. People like him make football great, he was big headed but in a good way. He never looked down on people for class reasons because he considered himself from the lower classes himself. This just makes ordinary people like him more, one of the legends of Sport. You can debate as to who was the best manager, but you cannot debate on who was the most entertaining, only one candidate.
United fan here, nothing but respect for this chap - RIP pal
Not sure why its relevant to announce yourself as a man u fan. Pretty irrelevant
@@SLaYDaRtH ...Not sure why it's relevant for you to pull him up on it !
Always tickles me when supporters who comment in favour of the opposite team feel the need to introduce themselves as the team they support 'United fan here' So fkin what. Just comment...
Born and bred M.U F.C Cloughie can't fault him. I would never swap Fergie for him but gee he really was an absolute football genius. You can't love football and not love Cloughie. R.I.P.
@@SLaYDaRtH Not really irrelevant. Few clubs or managers get to that level. They get spoken of in the same breath. Probably not relevant asking why .
there just isn't enough Clough on film .... everything that is is fantastic. A genius in every sense! But just look at his achievements ..... staggering!
Go on Brian Clough
Three things I've heard Clough say watching him on UA-cam:
1. The greatest days of my managerial career were at Derby (said in 1991).
2. If it wasn't for cheating and bribery, Derby would have won the European Cup.
3. I resigned from Derby County, but looking back the chairman should have resigned -- not me.
I know his best successes came during his longest tenure at Forest, but hearing those things (as a Derby fan) always makes me think "what if..."
As a forest fan, I really can’t lie, you were robbed of a lot of glory to your local rivals. I’d feel sorry for you if you lot didn’t keep getting salty over the situation.
@@zachbladen I wouldn't say robbed. Our poor directorship led to Clough's departure so we can only blame ourselves. The saltiness is fading to be honest -- Derby have been the marginally better team for the past 20 years, but neither have done a great deal in that time. I just like spreading facts about Clough's time at Derby as they often come at great surprise to people. See you in the Championship next year ;)
Great player , great manager.
Showing pure respect for Bill Shankly as well, just as it should be. Two football legends.
RIP
Dammed United is creative and funny but bollocks that he saw Revie as a mentor. Respect but not like that. Shanks was his mentor.
And he is still missed RIP Cloughie
RIP Brian, you're sorely missed, football these days needs someone like you.
I would loved to have heard his thoughts on the fact that 69% of players in the Premier League aren't English or even British, also that you can finish 4th in the Premier League and still qualify to play in the 'Champions' League. When you see what he achieved at Nottingham Forest you can have nothing but respect for him.
Best manager never to get the England job. But we all know the F.A. are spineless.
Clough = Legend
What if he had been appointed England manager and did as well as he did at Leeds? Clough’s talent was in building up small clubs, managers with that skill have never done well as England manager.
@@gweilospur5877 what about Redknapp?
If he’d got the job, England would have won the World Cup. Always felt he should have got it in 1990 after robson, from the point of view I think it would have reignited him. He was a bit despondent towards the end at Nottingham forest. Feeling obviously he’d taken the club as far as he could. The England job would have been a great way to leave. He was 55 in 1990. Would have been nice for him to take England to Sweden and the USA .
Quite..True! A ..Icon,of Football, and great humour.R.I.P!
Clough would have needed Peter Taylor to keep him fairly grounded, if he became England manager. Or he would have upset too many people.
However, top 5 British manager in last 60 years
Clough/Taylor.......dream team! Clough greatest manager, Taylor greatest talent spotter! The worlds a sorrier place without them! 😔
Always love this quote, “If God had wanted us to play football in the sky, He'd have put grass up there.”
I teach this quote with my youth football club and im a notts fan!
Brillaint
Simple but absolutely true
A true legend, in an age when the word is grossly overused. His anecdote about his trophies & caps being his qualifications is priceless & one I’ve related many times. Let’s also not forget the role of the great Peter Taylor in just about everything Brian achieved.
"Where do you want to leave them John, the Manchester canal, they wouldn't get in there because of the prams"
Priceless 😊
As probably one of the few Leeds fans to say this I think Brian Clough was an extremely talented manager, he was Charismatic, flamboyant and extremely witty which is what was so inspirational about him as a personality of the footballing world. He said what others thought. He lived by the sword and carried it well for a very long time and won trophies everywhere he went. I wish he could have stabilized Leeds when he was there but it wasn't the right time for him just after Don Revie's era had just finished. A year or two later and maybe it would have been a better time to be there. Going through history he was probably one of the best man managers of the game and he is sadly missed by this Leeds fan.
In theory, appointing a great manager to manage a great team should work; in the case of Leeds and Clough it didn't work out.
Top man Clough no nonsense person and spoke his mind
Right attributes, right attitude and above all a right good common sense approach!! Miss you Mr Clough ⚽️
Paisley, Shankly, Sir Alex and Clough.
Mourinho, you can fucking dream.
+WelshHDGamer - Fifa 15, Minecraft & Gaming Content!
add jock stein don revie, and youve the only brirsh managers that have built a legacy team with british players that conquered their league for years and europe
@@saints16o5o87 Jock was the trailblazer. As Shanks said to him after 1967. 'John You Are The Legend Now'
And Bobby Robson
I’ll never tire of watching Cloughy being interviewed. Never dull!!
A truly brilliant man . One of my hero’s . Says how it is and he knows he’s right. What a brilliant statement when he said that if bill shankley wanted a player to play for liverpool and he said I’ll have to talk to my agent, shankley would have hit him . And cloughie said I would have held him down so he could have hit him .
I'd love to hear a rant from him about the current game. Can you imagine how he would react to VAR.
Certain players in today's "game" on 300k a week would be shown the door in no uncertain terms.
Play for the team or you go. Simple. No nonsense.
A lot of talk on here about a knighthood, but I like to think Cloughie would have been proud enough to turn it down. Great little tribute to a true legend.
A total one off fantastic manager and motivator Brian Howard clough thanks for the memories
Almost 20 long years since old big head passed. Miss you Brian
An intelligent perceptive manager, no nonsense. Most articulate when interviewers asked silly questions, he put them right on the spot! Clough was unique.
Mr Clough! You are the greatest! NFFC FOREVER! HE speaks about Shankley with respect! Even though NFFC and Liverpool hate each other there is still respect!
We miss you Brian.
An absolute legend,and yes....the greatest ever.
One day you'll end a game of Football Manager and it will produce a montage like this for you. Six minutes of heady melancholia.
If only; FM would consider that too much fun; I mean, it's just not 'realistic'.
Without a doubt the wittiest, most charismatic man ever in football.
And one of its best managers.
RIP.
Beautiful footballing man, it’s is true he was the best England manager never had!! Sadly missed at city ground!!
To achieve what he did with two provincial clubs was nothing short of astonishing.
Brian Clough - Born in Middlesbrough (if you didn't know) the best Nottingham Forest manager ever!!! UTB
Hardly need to be a genius to work that out
I feel honoured to be a fan of the club, who had the greatest manager who's ever lived
Superb - thanks for this upload - much appreciated.
Brian is the best there ever was...
RIP Brian, You made us (Forest) who we are today, greatest manager England never had
Winning the European Cup was just as hard in the 70s as it is today. If Malmö was so shitty, how come they made it to the final instead of Real Madrid, Juventus or Liverpool, who were all in the cup that year? Less rounds = meeting the big clubs sooner, unlike today, where all teams play a billion matches to maximise TV revenue. What Clough did was absolutely beyond anything ever achieved by any other English manager. Ferguson can only dream of skills like his.
Well said
@@chriskolovos6143 i agree about brian clough, but i wish both of you would think before you open your mouths about alex ferguson, have you both forgotten what fergie achieved with aberdeen before he even joined united, was that not an amazing achievement.
@@markscanlan5147 Alex Ferguson built that Aberdeen team And beating Real Madrid in the Cup Winners Cup final was a big result. Another England manager who won lots of trophies was Bob Paisley
I agree .brugge were there in 78 .there on merit just like Malmö
@@chriskolovos6143 I agree with you Alex ferguson was great manager won loads of trophies for both aberdeen and man united and Bob paisley as well won loads of trophies as well these men you have mentioned they were great managers what brian clough did with derby county and nottingham forest was brilliant taking both teams out of the second division and taking them to first division title and winning back to back european cups with forest 2 small clubs is quite remarkable I wouldn't like to compare ferguson paisley or clough with each all 3 of them were genius great managers they didn't have the money these managers have today
When football was real and beautiful .
An iconic figure even for those not particularily into soccer.
Very much missed...
Growing up in West Cork, Ireland, I was a United fan since I was 6 years old, from the moment I saw George Best take the ball around the Benfica goalkeeper to score in the 1968 European Cup final. However, me and all my friends (who supported Liverpool, Spurs, West Ham, Arsenal, etc.) supported Forest as well in the late 70s because of Cloughie and the attacking football they played, and I've had a soft spot for them ever since. Those two stars on the crest say more than all the money in the world.
My friend grew up in Lowdham, outside Nottingham, and when I visited her parents some years ago they told me they used to be friends of the Cloughs and also Jimmy Sirrel's family (Notts County). It was lovely listening to their stories and felt very much like coming home. What a managerial partnership he and Peter Taylor had, and what a character he was. I love watching these clips about him.
Thanks for posting. Well done, you and your dad. And the BBC, and Cloughie.
What a legend, so sad that he never got over his drinking issues. His quote of not playing football in the clouds is a classic.
Very emotional watching this. Thinking of all the great times he give us as players. Some of this footage I've never actually seen.
Got a great photo of Brian and me dad together in the school team . They were mates went to the same youth club in grove hill in Middlesbrough together.
I dont want to get into a debate over who was the best, Brian Clough was Brian Clough, and I, as a Liverpool fan respect him and treasure his memory til the day I die. A great man, an honest man, and an inspiration to anyone looking to make a career in the mess that is now football. God bless him.
His team were one of the best teams I have seen they played amazing football and Aberdeen the early 80s from a ipswich fan
He should have been a england manager we would have won things
He was a unique person and entertaining. A football genius.
The football fan’s hero , god bless Sir Brian
Almot 10 yrs since the Big Man went. Football is poorer since.
Brilliant man, today we can look back at how much a genius he really was. Listen to Mark Crossley and the respect he still has and shows for The Gaffer.
Managers come and go. Some really good, some average but Brian Clough really stood out and illuminated. Really miss Cloughie.
Lovely vid, I love the guy, I love watching good football teams play good football, the good players at their best, & the top managers manage till they can't manage no more. Thats what I love about football, not just winning, but the beauty of it.
Also thanks to the leeds fans below who accept he was a great manager, despite the fact he made it clear how he felt about Leeds Utd. (y)
I dont support any of the teams directly or indirectly linked to clough, but i will say hands down no questions he was THE GREATEST english football manager ever
Defo. Only Herbet Chapman can lay claim.
I have his autograph and I can remember to this day how it felt to get the great man’s name on a photo, I think I told everyone in school even those that didn’t want to listen 👍👍
Thanks for posting. What a geezer he was ....
The Premier League nowadays is Sadly Lacking a Man Like Brian Clough
As an Irish man , England would have won a world cup with him as manager, but I those in charge of the FA were afraid he might show them up. Brilliant man, told you straight, no back doors.
agreed, i would have loved him to be england manager also martin o neill and harry redknapp , screw the fa
Met Brian 3 times, twice because I was St John Ambulance support and he shook everyone of us by the hand, then a third time after our cricket match on the outskirts of Nottingham City finished early. We persuaded the landlord & his huge alsatian dog that we were friendly & he let us in, a little later the double doors flew open & in came a racing bike followed by Cloughie, green jumper, white tennis shorts & flat cap. He chatted with us about cricket and how poor a side we were while he downed a tall 'lemonade'. Lovely man if you got on the right side of him.
One of the great pioneers of the modern game for sure. Shame we lost him so early.
The word legend gets used to much theses day in football....but he was a true legend!!!!! There will never be another Brian clough
Brian never managed my club.But god I wish he had.A football genius.
Cloughie was a legend, a wonderful man.
although he's nearly been dead for ten years, football misses brian cloug. he was a man of the people. he said what he thought. he rose about the sheep mentality and said HOW IT IS. we need more like him. not sheep who are scared to say what they think. portobello road.
The Labour Party misses people like Brian Clough (and Bill Shankly) even more than football does. What the hell happened to their clear and concise conception of socialism?
Legend! RIP sir
This great man’a achievement managing a club like Forest to two European cups will never be bettered the fact he was never offered the England job one of football’s greatest travesties.
R.I.P Brian you were and still are the greatest manager to ever live, and I am proud you managed my club and won the things you did with us, we still sings songs about you at every home game in the Trent End, and will do forever you are the best
Thanks for doing this mate!
Mr Clough, you were brilliant.
Im just seeing him this close in living colours from close range for the first time.Such a great personality
True perfection has to be imperfect. Rest in peace Brian.
Thanks for posting this
He said what he meant and he meant what he said…… there’s not many in life that do that let alone in Football…..! The best English manager ever….! Should have been given the England job….. I genuinely think we would have won either the Euros or the World Cup…. Especially with the players we had at the time…. But he scared the directors of the FA because he was the man he was….. a better man than any of those directors then or now….. RIP Mr Clough….
Thank you for making the game I love.. Great..!
The Shanks quote is the best. 'I'd hold him while Shanks hit him' Different times.
Greatest Achievievee in English football. 2 underperforming, especially Forest, mid range clubs to Title Winners and Debry SF European Cup and Forest 2 time winners.
And playing with No Little Style.
RIP Brian.
Im a Liverpool supporter and I can say this hand on heart, if Clough and Taylor were given the England Job, we would have won the World Cup in 1982 no doubt about it, and the team that went to that tournament would have been very different Clough and Taylor knew who the best players were, and it didnt matter if you played for Crewe if they thought you was the right man for that position you would be playing for England.
There will never be another Brian Clough.
Cloughy would be proud to see how forest was for the 2022 2023 season..amazing team spirit and skills.They Did the city proud again, they once said there was a Clough curse on us..they can't anymore.Theyl have a good year next year cloughy am sure of it
The fundamental truth is, he was very very special, and no-one has come anywhere close to being anywhere near him.
WOW I could listen to him all day long
Can you imagine what he'd make of today?! Blokes being girls, girls being blokes etc. If only he could come back and tell us.
It’s been 30 years since he passed away I thought he died in the late 1990’s for some reason, Rip 🪦 The legend. Time flies
Cloughy was the best manager of his generation on the budget he had ! We’re talking about a champion winning side of players on a small budget ! Obviously Ferguson went onto have similar achievements but Brian was the first to do it
R.I.P Cloughie! Brain Clough's Red Army!
Brian and Peter. Are without doubt the greatest ever to manage in British football. No other club with Forests stature have ever or will ever win the European cup
Abousloute legend RIP Sir Cloughie 🏴
Peter Taylor deserves a lot of the credit
Your right Peter Taylor does deserve a lot of credit Brian Clough and Peter Taylor one of the greatest double acts of all time same as bill shankly and Bob Paisley at Liverpool I liked Brian Clough because he spoke his mind and if it upset anybody he didn't care he said how it was Peter Taylor was at his job as well they were like brothers they both needed each other same as at the time bill shankly and Bob Paisley
RIP cloughie. boro legend
I think cloughie was an absolute genius.
You don't have to think it, it has to be true too many people agree.
Blimey...Where have all these great player / characters gone....Robson, Best, Adams, Toshak, Gasgoine, Chopper Harris, Gemmel, Tommy Smith...just to name a tiny few
God bless you Brian,you were a big headed bugger but you had the respect.
We miss people like you in the game.
I have been a Leeds fan for 45 years,did not agree with things you said about my club,but I liked you jus the same. RIP Brian.You are a one off
I'm a stoke city fan have been for 50 years I'm know I'm biased with my club but the best manager I will ever know is cloughie what a fantastic character of my generation he took no shite an old fashioned manager he said what he said if yer didn't like it then you know what you can do so proud of times when men were men it was told how it was RIP cloughie you would not want to be around now ballet dancers in this new world thats my personal opinion and I'm staying with it let's go back 50 years and start again
Man of principle that understood how humans work.
Most people have very little idea how humans do what they do, but to be who clough was, you had to really understand how humans really are.
Its a special talent, and even though he was before my time, i saw him at end of his days at forest, class act as a manager.
Glad he was never england manager, he was too good to be that.
Imagine what he could of done at a big club, but i doubt a big clubs board would want him, and him dictating to them what football is, and not what the directors dream or imagine it to be.
A true legend ❤
Brilliant man.
Wonderful
amazing man
