Viv Anderson - Forest, Arsenal, Man Utd, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, Middlesbrough

[@mattcunningham3656]

Liam and John - Viv was my second of these "shows" (I do not think any other word sums up the fantastically entertaining, informative, and captivating viewing). Keep doing what you are doing - nobody is close to you both for making us feel like we are chatting to these legends in the Clubhouse after a friendly but competitive game of golf. What about Sir Kenny Dalglish?

I was in the Stretford Paddock when he took that knock on the ankle. He's right. He was never really fit again. It was a shame because everyone really respected him and all wanted him to do well. It's easy to see why he was seen as such a positive influence and someone good to have around when you're in the shit. The world loves Viv Anderson and you can tell.

Clough was the best type of manager - 'hands off' administrator, people manager/motivator, team coordinator, resource manager, business manager. That's all. And that's all he needed to be. Love the story when he paid for the player's 'recreation' with the ladies of the night! In modern woke times this would be unthinkable.

Id forgotten about the excitement that Robbo and Viv generated around that Middlesbrough team at the time.

Pretty sure Ian Bowyer was already at Forest when Clough arrived. So was Viv, Woodcock, John Robertson, Martin O'Neil - so he had the nucleus of a good side already, then added a 'spine' with Shilton, Lloyd/Burns, Gemmill and Francis. Great team and Viv is a Clifton lad, like me.
