I have to agree ...Brian was a "salt of the earth"man. I recently rented from Netflicks a DVD about his life as a manager and there are some classic Brian Clough quotes. Always honest in his words and true to his word.[/quote]
How great to find someone else who knew, and appreciated, Cloughie :-) One of my dogs is named after him. I still need to see the movie, but wish it had dealt more with his time at Forest. What he did with that team was nothing short of a miracle. One German manager even considers that to be the greatest team of all time! Cloughie did so much with so little compared to the big name teams of that era. He deserved a knighthood and the chance to be England's manager.
