I give you the great Brian Clough

Shame the booze turned him into a sad cunt.
A great man in his prime.

Watched the first third so far.

Standout point - Clough bought Frank Gray in 1979 and put a European Cup Winner's Medal in his pocket (perennial quiz question answer - the first British footballer to play for two different sides in two different European Cup finals)

true, think the spat with Taylor had summert to do with him turning to the bottle.

This interview in the film 'United' was much better!

The book "The Damned United" is better again. You read it and you live it at the same time, it gets right into your fucking head the way David Peace writes it. You try to sleep, close your eyes and find yourself thinking how you're going to deal with the Irishman the next day...

I has Leeds to be done by Derby today and fuck me if I could pair them with anyone else...

Gave Larry Lloyd a washing machine he'd lifted from the City Ground as a signing-on fee. Three years later he won the European Cup.

His famous quote about Larry Lloyd was after a training session, he's sat on the turf having a blow and Clough seems to be wandering aimlessly about, having the odd word and then randomly launches into a quiz question:

"Young man. A question for you. Which England international only ever won two caps, and both in the same day?"
Lloyd, confused, said "don't know, boss"
To which Clough replied "You, young man, you. Your first and your last!"
And then he just walked off.

Looks like the fat cunt could eat a washing machine in one go these days



By the way, he won 4 full England caps.

He already had three of them when Clough bought him, Tone. I don't think Ole Big 'Ead was going to be accurate in the face of a putdown he wanted, tbh.

As for the size of Lloyd, it looks like he ate Kenny Burns.
