He lost it at the end (a bit of a piss head) but I would not call him a dick.Wenger is a dick. Wenger could not wipe Cloughs arse. Wenger pretends to be the proffessor but falls very short of Cloughs ability , style, integraty and achievements . Brilliant Clough.

Very canny manager, knew what buttons to press to motivate his players!
Also was a fair judge of others, as part of his final interview revealed.
Woolwich were about to beat the Forest record of 42 unbeaten league games and, although he was very generous about their style of play, he saved a barb for Arse Wenger:
"That Frenchman needs a list of all the opticians around Highbury and Islington, because he never sees 'owt when his players are being naughty on the pitch."

Greatest manager england never had, and we suffered because of it. Sadly the silly od buffons at the FA only wanted yes men and Cloughie would never have fitted in.
Genius of a manager and his Forest side were the best in Europe in the late 70s's , sadly the media, like today, had its tounge firmly wedged up Liverpools arse and that irked Cloughie and his players. Some things never change.

This is well worth watching:
Football misses old Big (piss) head. Seeing some of the interviews from him, football today could do with some honest out spoken comments. Loved to have seen BC interviewed on some of today's controversial issues.
If you weren't around when Cloughie was, and watched Damned United, you would think he was an a**ehole and all players hated him.
That's why the Forest players made that Documentary about him,because they ,for the most part, loved the bloke.
We will never see his like again, of that I am sure.

Ian Woan: ‘Clough’s magic was putting a team of misfits together’
Left-winger became a Nottingham Forest hero after Brian Clough hijacked Harry Redknapp’s deal to sign him from Runcorn
www.theguardian.com
Really good read.
Woan only went to Forest from Runcorn (!) because Clough saw his imminent move to Redknapp's Bournemouth pop up on teletext (kids, ask your parents). Apparently Clough didn't even know who he was.
Maybe other managers rated H ability to spot a player. I recall we only got Carrick because we hijacked his move to Pompey.
Greatest manager in the history of the game.
No one else could take two championship teams to the premier, win it with both of them and then win back-to-back European club championships with one of them and with the likes of John McGovern and Ian Bowyer anchoring the midfield.
No feat even comes close.
Mourinho with Porto is about as near as I can get and I don’t think it’s remotely comparable.

Forest and derby fans applauding on 10. Mins today
Football was very different back then. They didn't even have Championship Manager.
Just had flashbacks to
"You've let your Brian down, you've let your Brian down..."
"You've let your Brian down, you've let your Brian down..."
He was a bit of a dick. But a lovable dick.
He was honest and a great manager to boot, and a wonder with a one-liner, very witty. Can't believe its 10 years since he passed away.
