We need a Brian Clough back in todays times

Greatest ever Brian Clough quote when asked about the stress of football management. "Wat stress? Stress is having to come home and tell your wife you've been made redundant, you can't pay the mortgage and you don't know how you are going to put food on the table. That's stress". What a man

I can honestly say this man is my hero in football and in life. Battling crippling depression everyday and every time I listen to him speak it stops me in my tracks and puts a rocket up my a*se ! He genuinely makes me smile. I wish I could of met him.

To win the European cup with forest once was unbelievable but to retain it the following year was simply unreal with a club of that size... outstanding manager one of the very best in English football history

An amazing man. We'll never see his like again.

We need people like Brian Clough not just in football but in life . Legend of a person

I could listen to Clough for hours, but Frost was a brilliant interviewer too. He just listened and let people talk.

This is why Brian Clough will always be a hero to me. His honesty, passion, devotion, openness & his overall philosophy on life. Sadly missed R.I.P.

Seriously I could listen to this man (Clough) talk for weeks and I'd never tire of hearing what he had to say. Brilliant man. We'll never see the likes again.

Brian Clough could still inspire football players today, years after his passing. As we know, MONEY has ruined football.

Middlesbrough born and bred on a council estate, Boro boy done good. R.I.P Brian Clough from Valley Road in the Boro.

I can listen to these Bryan Clough interviews for hours on end. God bless you absolute LEGEND 💪👑🙏

My earliest memory of football, in far off Australia, as an 11 year old boy, was this man called Brian Clough. Loud, brash, brilliant. Inspiring. As the decades have rolled on, I have grown to love and respect him even more.

Spoken to a couple of people who knew him as they were friends of his kids. A very kind and caring man. What he achieved at Forest was fantastic.

This is what made TV really worth watching back in the 1970s unlike the dumbing down that goes for TV today , loved Clough's straight forward talking no nonsense approach , something which is outlawed in today's world

Very special man, met him a few times in my local village in Nottm where his brother lived, always had time to talk to you, no one like him then or now

Mr Clough’s greatest asset is his ability to articulate a thought into something totally understandable to the layman as well as those with brightest minds. Such an incredibly clear thinker and orator.

Everyone's gotta love Cloughie - he shoots right from the hip, no bullshit allowed.

Money is never sufficient for anything. What a legend 🙌

Two stars forever above the badge, we will be eternally thankful to the great Brian Clough !!

Even the great Muhammed Ali had a world for cloughie 😆 i greatly miss him even in his later years he was still very quick witted and carasmatic

Thirty minutes of pure gold. Should be compulsive viewing for every school leaver. I wonder if the Chairman of Nottingham Forest watched this, went into work next day & said, “come on lads, let’s offer him the job, who knows?”

Who'd of thought after this interview, what was to become of Nottingham forest, and the great things to come....!! Absolute legend. 😁

"I'm not saying I've got talent, although if you press me I will say I have it!" Typical understated Cloughie comment!

How refreshing two men top of their game, Cloughie is an absolute legend we all know that but Frost was the ultimate tv interviewer as he actually listened to Brian and responded with questions related to the previous questions. Class.

Michael Sheen has portrayed both. This could be remade as the true crossover of the century

Absolute pleasure watching this man, not many like him nowadays.

The best manager England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 never had!! An Absolute travesty!!! The man’s a legend and an absolute character!!😊👍🏻 pure class!!

One of the best managers for me. I love how he saw life and how straight forward and honest his answers were. I really felt for Cloughie when pride got the better of him in regard to his relationship with Peter Taylor. Friendship is one of the most precious things in this world and no matter what the cost in your pride you should keep it and hold on to it.. Seeing Brian realise this after Peter's death was very sad and it raised my awareness of what is truly precious in life.

im a City fan and we have Pep but for me this guy was the very best . He started football punditry as well LEGEND

My dad never laughed so much as at Brian Clough and John Cleese. Two very different geniuses.

A class act no mistake. Had the good grace not to trash Don Revie despite Frost provoking him and to voice his opinions clearly and concisely. Compare that to today’s polished political management who are so scared in case they say the wrong thing. He’s missed terribly

Great great man. Full of charisma, humility & honesty.

Thank God England never had this man as manager, they may have won the World Cup a few times.

A great manager! The greatest manager the England team never had

Brilliance personified! One of Middlesbrough's greatest sons...

Great man,I used to hate Forest-knocking us out of the the european cup etc,but listening to him here his character,honesty and intelligence just shines through,never forgotten;real old school outlook that's sadly missing a lot today.

Just before he came to Forest and became a total legend ❤️

Cloughie was the best manager of all time.Period.

Could listen to him all day 😂

His lasting memory will be two stars on the NF shirt. The accolades in the City ground are there for everyone to see. I had my first visit last season, you can still feel his and Peter Taylors presence.

This is so goddamn real. No one in America shows up like this on TV.

Such a naturally positive, uplifting, magical personality.

A few years later he went on to win the league and 2 European Cups....what a manager!!!

Gosh, I’m not into football - in fact I couldn’t give two hoots about it - but this interview is riveting. The main standout is Cloughie’s integrity - I might be wrong but he strikes me as being a very decent man.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams

A brilliant man - honest and forthright. Clough was well ahead of the development of the game. Years beyond his time in my view...

I think he is dead honest. I do believe him when he implies that he likes/respects people, and needs them to be Good, appreciates sincerity... I think he was a real force for good, even if he rubbed some people up the wrong way. It is not ego but confidence that he had and we need people to be thoughtful and confident. As a Nottingham dweller, I was grateful he came to Forest soon after this interview :)

What a guy R.I.P.

What a man - love him. David Frost is a very good interviewer - brings out the best in Cloughie

This guy was a no shit take me as I am fella , luv anecdotes from ex players, staff etc, he is a legend 👏from a Blades fan !!!

What a Character ALWAYS TOLD TRUTH ,Gave his honest opinion esp regarding Chairmen & Directors Brian Clough was simply a Genius one of very few special Managers ,not only on field but also off the pitch both football & life man manager .Football Crime that Sir Brian Clough (knighted from the Terraces by those who know football Up & Down country fans like, dislike him but RESPECT Cloughie) was never appointed England International Managers job football snobbery at its worst. As a proud Scotsman I've always believed Brian Clough would've become England's finest ,most successful manager to the extent saw England World Cup Winners & be regularly in the final that's how highly I rate Cloughie. His methods the players would've enjoyed each given simple instructions ,to keep the ball on the deck not in the clouds Likes Shanks & Clough teams played Total Football long before Dutch were given the credit. Those that's played for Brian Clough talk about how enjoyable it was on daily basis John Robertson, Martin O,Neil credit Cloughie with transforming them into Winners Back to Back European Cup Winners Inc defeated great Liverpool team with Nottingham Forest who weren't seen as one off BIG CLUBS . Every young footballer should watch everything they can ,listen & learn Every new young budding Manager should study Brian Clough 4,4,2 kept it simple Goalkeeper, Defenders,Midfielders ,Strikers knew their job . Busby,Stein Shankly,Clough & Taylor brewing up Imagine being round table with those geniuses. Brian's said in interviews now he loved Shanks like a father.Players saw that respect final whistle Cloughie was in full flow when knock on dressing room door ,players expected Cloughie to tell the knocker were to go NO welcomed man in and invited him talk to players .That man was Bill Shankly Only person Brian Clough would've allowed .Now Brian you've earned same greatness ,players ,managers alike are in total awe .Game just isn't the same without true ,honest,fearless characters whom players dare,nt step out off line or be OFF, OFF YOU GO Managers who ruled ,controlled whole Club ,Even told Chairmen to wait outside for him & such was respect they apologised & waited .LOL

Clough is known for being arrogant, but it’s a deserved arrogance, but he was also a kind, humble and very gracious man. I sat next to him at the infamous coffee cup Derby vs Forest game in Mar 2004. My fella got some extra good tickets off an exec friend of his, the whole time I was awe struck, not daring to speak! I never said a word to him, which I deeply regret. He looked so poorly, but he was there with his grand kids and I didn’t want to bother him.

Clough even knew about mental health back then but others didn’t understand what he was saying

Waching what he did with Forest in the 70s was another level. Avergae players giving it everything week in week out, getting better week in week in week. They really were fantastic to watch. He made John Robertson the best left winger in the world..enough said

Brian Clough, is inspirational. Love him..

I had many problems in my life, some my own making some forced on me, but when I listen to a down to earth genius like Brian, it makes think differently,god bless him,a complete one off.👊👊👍

This is an incredible interview

Hard to believe that a man could have so much confidence when his greatest achievements were still before him.

A total straightforward honest bloke. A shame other managers are not like him. Sadly missed.

Quite brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I remember Cloughie well from my schooldays. A lot of current day Premiership managers, and politicians, would do well to watch this.

Classic Brian Clough, honest and talks pure sense. 15:05

should have been england manager , the greatest in my opinion

Michael Sheen interviews Michael Sheen

Funny how Micheal Sheen played them both. ...Brilliantly I might add....

Great to see this in HD.

What I hate is when media keep asking how much people got this that and the other its nothing to do with anyone

Outstanding person and we will never see the like again.

So good....They named the road from Nottingham to Derby after him.....Brian Clough Way.

I love his acknowledgement of Bill Shankly. That's what its all about!

An incredibly entertaining interview from a man who wasn’t scared to share his views and then there is Brian Clough who didn’t know the meaning of scared 😊

I met him when I was a kid in the late 70’s. He was watching an amateur league football match and I asked for his autograph. He told me to wait until half time ! 😂 To be fair to him, I did and he gave me his autograph and was very friendly. Enigmatic genius and one of a kind. I wish he was still around.

It's fascinating watching Brian Clough interviewed before he joined Nottingham Forest. A Clough interview is always worth watching. THanks for the upload.

Absolute legend and my hero

Michael Sheen play both these people!

My admiration for Brian has always been his want to provoke thought, not just to be a provocateur. Simply magnificent and brilliant man. As a United fan, I can acknowledge how brilliant SAF has been...and how almost impossible it is to fathom someone being as or more successful with MUCH less resources. Titan.

God I miss Brian Clough so much.

What a guy, so honest, so lovable.

What a legend, Brian Clough was amazing, talented, footballer, amazing, talented manager, and a great socialist top man in great to hear the voice Rip Brian Clough #ynwa

Cool fact that Michael Sheen has played both of these people in films

Straight talking straight from the horses mouth - LEGEND

This version of Brian Clough would be on a multi million pound contract with any Broadcaster these days.

I wish Michael Sheen would do a reenactment of this.

Two men who in those days were top in their professions.

As I personally remember his great Nottingham Forest side you could never doubt his football abilities . Watching this interview I am even more impressed by his personality and his views . maybe too honest to ever get the England job . We will never know if he could have done anything with England

To do what he did at Leeds was impressive. He tried to get them to play proper football despite being winners already. He had it easy, didn't even need to change things but tried to. No manager now would do this now.

What a great interview, two amazing men.

The greatest of all time special man r.i.p cloughie x

True Labour.Such a great man!

God bless him Top guy 👌

Wow. I wish I had met him.

Great interview....

9:31 It's hard to believe David Frost was only 35 here - he looks a lot older. And he wasn't lying, he *was* 35 at the time.

I was only little at the time but Brian would've made an excellent England manager. It's plain obvious why they didn't choose him. God bless him.

Aahhhhhhhhhbbb.... Clough ie.... RIP you dear man.

What a great interview

This man’s words are golden and timeless which are priceless even now in 2023. I believe that he could have succeeded in any business venture. I never tire of hearing him speak. RIP Mr Clough.

The greatest Clough moment i ever saw was the press conference when Trevor Francis signed for Forest. Friday night, Francis just signed, the press are interviewing him. Clough and Taylor are sitting in on it. Francis is answering all the press questions then one guy asks, “Trevor, when do you think you'll play your first game for Nottingham Forest?” Quick as a flash, before Francis could answer, Cloughie immediatlely says, “When i pick 'im!”

What an utterly inspiring man

A great man lots of respect for him! A man who should have had the England job! A great loss to football RIP Brian Clough🙏
