Brian Clough has Died

[Gilliver's Travels]

The Legend: For Cloughie begat Taylor, and Taylor begat Ward.

For newer readers, Peter Ward was bought in 1975 by Peter Taylor from Burton Albion, for £4000.


Brian Clough: Albion Legend indeed.

 

[Brovion]

Great loss. It's quite true in football terms you can talk about life at the Albion from it's inception until Clough and Taylor as the years BC (Before Clough). Him and Taylor (not forgetting Bamber who employed him) gave the Albion a huge push forward and made everybody realise that we didn't have to be a 3rd divison side for eternity.

All three of them gone now. RIP.

RIP Brian. A joint honouring of him on the 29th at Forrest would be in order.

I think you mean "sorely".

But ... in some quarters ... maybe not.

Not quite.

Cloughie did that when he dropped Peter Ward off the Forest team bus by the side of the motorway.

You have to have heard Wardy's own account of this incident to get the full significance. And maybe today is the wrong day to recall the story.

"Clough began his football career at his home-town club Middlesbrough, and enjoyed a successful career, scoring 204 goals in 222 games and winning two England caps."

From the BBC site - I didn't realise that he was a great player - that is some scoring record!!

RIP.

A truly great chacter. He was surely the best manager that ever lived. To do what he did with Derby and Forest was truly amazing. We will never see the likes of him again.

I always wondered what shape this club would be in now if he had stayed two or three seasons longer...
