If only he could come back for a week, or a day, or an hour even, just to make us all smile.

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

His back-to-back European Cups at Forest will forever stand as professional football's greatest achievement.

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

Legend. He might not have been the best football manager there ever was but he'd be in the Top 1.

Best manager never to get the England job. But we all know the F.A. are spineless. Clough = Legend

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.

And he is still missed RIP Cloughie

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

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.

Great player , great manager. Showing pure respect for Bill Shankly as well, just as it should be. Two football legends. RIP

United fan here, nothing but respect for this chap - RIP pal

Three things I've heard Clough say watching him on KZfaq: 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..."

Clough/Taylor.......dream team! Clough greatest manager, Taylor greatest talent spotter! The worlds a sorrier place without them! 😔

Top man Clough no nonsense person and spoke his mind

Always love this quote, “If God had wanted us to play football in the sky, He'd have put grass up there.”

"Where do you want to leave them John, the Manchester canal, they wouldn't get in there because of the prams" Priceless 😊

Paisley, Shankly, Sir Alex and Clough. Mourinho, you can fucking dream.

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.

We miss you Brian.

I’ll never tire of watching Cloughy being interviewed. Never dull!!

An absolute legend,and yes....the greatest ever.

Right attributes, right attitude and above all a right good common sense approach!! Miss you Mr Clough ⚽️

Almost 20 long years since old big head passed. Miss you Brian

A total one off fantastic manager and motivator Brian Howard clough thanks for the memories

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.

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.

To achieve what he did with two provincial clubs was nothing short of astonishing.

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!

Beautiful footballing man, it’s is true he was the best England manager never had!! Sadly missed at city ground!!

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.

Almot 10 yrs since the Big Man went. Football is poorer since.

I feel honoured to be a fan of the club, who had the greatest manager who's ever lived

Brian Clough - Born in Middlesbrough (if you didn't know) the best Nottingham Forest manager ever!!! UTB

When football was real and beautiful .

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.

An intelligent perceptive manager, no nonsense. Most articulate when interviewers asked silly questions, he put them right on the spot! Clough was unique.

He was a unique person and entertaining. A football genius.

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.

The Premier League nowadays is Sadly Lacking a Man Like Brian Clough

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.

Superb - thanks for this upload - much appreciated. Brian is the best there ever was...

His team were one of the best teams I have seen they played amazing football and Aberdeen the early 80s from a ipswich fan

Legend! RIP sir

Thanks for posting. What a geezer he was ....

Thanks for posting. Well done, you and your dad. And the BBC, and 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)

RIP Brian, You made us (Forest) who we are today, greatest manager England never had

Without a doubt the wittiest, most charismatic man ever in football. And one of its best managers. RIP.

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 👍👍

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.

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.

Mr Clough, you were brilliant.

Very emotional watching this. Thinking of all the great times he give us as players. Some of this footage I've never actually seen.

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.

Brian never managed my club.But god I wish he had.A football genius.

Managers come and go. Some really good, some average but Brian Clough really stood out and illuminated. Really miss Cloughie.

Thanks for posting this

Thanks for doing this mate!

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

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

True perfection has to be imperfect. Rest in peace Brian.

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.

Simply the best

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

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.

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..!

WOW I could listen to him all day long

RIP cloughie. boro legend

Wonderful

I think cloughie was an absolute genius.

Brilliant 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.

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.

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

Im just seeing him this close in living colours from close range for the first time.Such a great personality

R.I.P Cloughie! Brain Clough's Red Army!

amazing man

There will never be another Brian Clough.

Peter Taylor deserves a lot of the credit

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

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.

LEGEND.

What a man, what a absolute legend

Brian Clough The best ever,back to back European cups,enough said from a Rangers fan.

Truly great wish we could had him at Birmingham

Always in my heart,Cloughie

Legend , sorely missed

Nottingham Forest Legend And Always Will Be

The football fan’s hero , god bless Sir Brian

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.

Top bloke . Greatly missed.

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

awesome

I love Leeds, but I love cloughie too. MOT

Great great man
