Alan Brown: Brian Clough's Mentor

[@Hollows1997]

As a Sunderland fan, Alan Brown will never be forgotten. It breaks my heart that the man who thought of Brown as his mentor was never given the chance to manage the club he loved. "I would have crawled up the M1 on my hands and knees over broken glass to be the manager of Sunderland" Brian Clough

[@joelthorpe1476]

Does it also break your heart that Clough is a Smoggie and always will be 😁

@@joelthorpe1476 what does smogie mean?

Hugh Bliette nope, I’m from County Durham.

[@jsniff2112]

@@joelthorpe1476 Yet Sunderland was the only club he ever fell in love with. His own words, must be hard as a Smoggie knowing he fell in love with us, rather than Boro.

Tifo is such a good football channel. You guys deserve 1M+ subs.

[@sambridhathapa4313]

Been here from the very beginning

[@davidogundipe808]

True legends of the game should never be forgotten.

[@santoshghimire2981]

Nothing better than starting the day with an informative Tifo Football video. This guy's voice is soo soothing.

[@Ivanmaradonaaa]

I'm ending my day but I get you

[@richardmell299]

Yep I'm falling asleep listening to it.

[@illiteratethug3305]

Football was a popular mass sport before 'the event' for anyone wondering

[@memofromessex]

Sunderland is always a rebuilding job.

[@chilledllama8830]

Thank you so much for the work you put in to show us why this sport is so beautiful. Especially in these weird times. 🙏🏼

[@Omar-nb3pm]

I always go back to this and its just amazing.

[@folarinalabi3250]

Finally, I've been waiting for someone to do a video on this man. Good job guys Did you get it from a fourfourtwo magazine article a couple of years ago may I ask?

[@NothingSussed]

It originally appeard on the athletic

[@benjamineckford1718]

So pleased you made this video, Alan Brown is my hero

[@rishavsingh2390]

Much like Nigel Pearson's Leicester season

[@scottmorey6212]

He also pioneered the short corner, something we see every day in football. Always puts a smile on my face knowing that. He wrote a book called Team Coach that captured some training methods and tactics, never sold many and didn't get a good production run. But I have few in the attic 😅

[@patrickswift2837]

As a Burnley fan, it is so good to see some regular Burnley related content on the channel. Great Video! Can't wait until you hit a mil subs

[@Omar-nb3pm]

The ending line with the music give me chills

[@Sirdiealot88]

Of all my years watching Tifo, how have I only just seen this one? Good on him, gotta go hard or go home

[@ColoradoCactus]

Where I live it’s 1 in the morning and for some reason I’m wide awake watching Tifo.

[@jimmcloughlin]

As a Sunderland fan since the '40s to young to pass comment then, but looking back we should have kept him. The promotion 1964 team would have gone places but was dismantled to make way for Jim Baxter.

[@patsyparisi2620]

Very good video. Thank you.

[@killercaos123]

Foundations are never just constructed out of nowhere

[@Maxim89Il]

Brian Clough was such a beautiful person, he really never forgot Alan Brown.

[@tinplategeek1058]

Just a quick word of Bob Stokoe's name. I've always heard it pronounced STOKE-O going back to my days in The Roker End in the early 70's. Never STOCK-O.

[@antoninbanderas]

I rewatched every video uploaded before the Atletico basque rule video, it took me 1 year

[@Ese96Agoaye]

I like that statement “there’s more to football than silverware”. It actually rings true, and to a degree, silverware is an inaccurate way to determine how big a club is. Home support would be more accurate, and going by that, Leeds United are bigger than Manchester City. Sure the latter are a bigger name in terms of league status and marketability, but that’s a false way to judge how big a club is.

[@Veaseify]

Brand recognition is what makes a club 'big' - Newcastle get 50,000 home crowds but nobody in Africa is wearing a Paul Dummett replica jersey...to be fair neither is anybody in Newcastle (I am a supporter before you ask)

[@Veaseify]

@@bakaweiner6956 Yep, but I know a lot of deluded Newcastle supporters who claim we are a big club because of the stadium and the crowds...

[@jamesvickers5998]

Leeds weren't regularly getting 30,000 crowds in the 3rd tier, Man City were.

[@alansidik6233]

Do a brief history of beckham please, love ur vids bro

[@killercd7682]

Interesting guy

[@ElVindicto]

Why do all of these figures from Burnley's footballing history have a quirky, USSR-related theme to their names?

[@jamesvickers5998]

Very big of you to give his four successful years at Wednesday 10 seconds.

[@TacomaParkour]

Can you do a "Seattle Sounders FC tactics explained"?!?

[@Irfan87]

You guys really need to do a vid on Paul Scholes.

[@marklloyd9584]

Can you do a video on early Victorian Pete 1900 footballers, who were the stars of the day extra please

[@choppaa4204]

Can you make a video on Fergus Sutter? The English game was a fascinating tv series

[@MrNweth]

And full of artist license to make it more dramatic. James love's story is slightly more interesting in real life

[@williamthompson2941]

nice one

[@shanewright2772]

The newspaper hadn't updated their file photo of Brown since 1946?

[@shanewright2772]

@HerrNilssonTheMonkey so they just gave 'em a Polaroid land camera and a ten pack of film and set 'em to work?

[@joelthorpe1476]

Alan Browne playing for Preston I believe now lol

[@wzup77ify]

I read Brian coughs Mentor

[@keithwachira1065]

Tifo, Please do a Real Madrid video

[@danpreston564]

It’s Stanley Rous, as in Mouse, not as in Moose. Bob Stokoe is pronounced like Stoke, not Stock.

[@BananaExtremeAwe]

This is at least the second time you've missed pronounced McIlroy (Mac-ill-roy) as McKILLroy 😂

[@cliffordbasido390]

Please make a tactics video of Juventus

[@the_luggage]

Middlesbrough can do that to a man.

Just wish that Ole doesn't become a brown but a Ferguson.

If 'the history of football is full of Alan Browns', are you sure you got the right one when you made this video?
