BRIAN CLOUGH BEING INTERVIEWED BY BRIAN MOORE- BRIAN BEING TYPICALLY FORTHRIGHT AND OUTSPOKEN

Brian Clough being interviewed by TV presenter Brian Moore and putting forward his own forthright views on newspaper owners, the then sports minister and fellow football managers. Despite his acidic comments Brian Clough’s love of the game of football shines through. Brian Clough was one of the most successful football managers of 1970’s, 1980’s and early 1990’s. His football career was shortened by a serious injury and he retired in 1964 after making 274 appearance playing for Middlesbrough FC and Sunderland FC and scoring an amazing 251 goals.

A mystery wrapped up in an enigma. His comment at the end about a footballer at the peak of his career, chasing his dreams, he's talking about himself. Despite his glorious record as a manager, all his pots and pans, I don't think he ever truly recovered, mentally, from his injury in 1962.

Yep Clough is the greatest "English" manager as he built 2 successful clubs with limited resources. Paisley didn't actually build anything. Shanks ( the true genius) took LFC up from Div 2 to the top table and won trophies at home and in Europe. When he retired Paisley who was a lovely old chap and tactically astute, took over the reigns of a very good side and with the help of the boot-room, he decorated the house which Shanks built. Money was no problem for Paisley during his tenure either as he smashed the transfer record whenever he needed a top player! We must also acknowledge that Clough needed Peter Taylor by his side.
