Brian Clough has Died
- Thread starter clapham_gull
- Start date
Always a sad day when someone dies, but even sadder when a great man passes away.
On Man Utd opting-out of the FA Cup to play in the World Club Championship, he said "Manchester United in Brazil? I hope they all get bloody diarrhea."
"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."
How he would like to be remembered. "I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed - I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me."
Contribute he certainly did.
RIP Mr Clough.

A true football character

A TRUE football character. This is the kind of manager that would knock the 'prima-donas' right into place.
Football has lost a winner.

Good ol' Cloughie eh?
He was like God but slightly better. Now THAT sounds like a typical 'Cloughie-ism' eh?

A really bad day for football.
Cloughie was one of the few remaining links with the world before the over-hyped Premiership with it's overpaid egotists.
Sadly, no top level manager would get away with his style any more because any player who gets put in their place starts crying like a little girl and runs off to their agent.
I'll miss Cloughie - just like I miss football as it used to be.

Clough is dead ? So what ? He may have been a 'legend' elsewhere but he did f*** all for this club other than rip it off. The only significant thing he did for us was to lead us to two of our worst ever defeast, 8-2 at home to Bristol Rovers then 4-0 to Walton and Hersham in the cup.
Not much sadness from me.

I was so proud of being a Brighton fan when Cloughy came. I know he went off to Leeds and had a hard time there but as said before, his assistant Peter Taylor #1 remained which really paid off for us.
Cloughy did so well with Forest & Derby and was a real character in the game. He was never scared to speak his mind!!
He took the overpaid footballers (not the Seagulls) down a pit and said that's how real men earn a living and spend it on football. Players had to give of their best for fans like that.
No prima donnas in his team.
RIP Cloughy
