Brian Clough quote...

Both allegedly like/d a bung

ON PAPER WE SHOULD WIN COMFORTABLY

BUT THE GAMES PLAYED ON GRASS

Offside rule? .... "If someone's not interfering in play... he shouldn't be on the pitch"

Rome wasn't built in a day but I wasn't on that particular job

BORO /forrest player David currie went from northern LG south bank to million pound  signing for cloughie at boro,he later worked as a scaffs mate at British steel on teesside, in one of his books CLOUGHIE WAS asked what was your biggest mistake in football
cloughie said right now thinking DAVID CURRIE was a footballer,the scaffs got the page in book blown up and ran a 100 copies of and pinned them up all over steelworks

What happens when one of your players disagrees with you,

No problem, we sit down and discuss it for 10 minutes or so before deciding I was right.

Roy Keane asked Clough one day"boss,i want to improve my game,any advice?"
"yes son replied Clough,"every time you get the ball pass it to our Nigel,and tell him i want to see him ,and close the door on your way out"
one minute later Nigel walked into Cloughs office and said"DAD,Roy said you wanted to see me"
yes  son replied Clough,"every time Roy gets the ball make sure you get into the other teams penalty area,because the ball is going to land at your feet.
17 GOALS WERE SCORED BY NIGEL FROM ASSISTS FROM KEANE BEFORE EVERYONE COPPED ON TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING

That's brilliant

Clough "Now young man, let me get someone to sort out the paperwork on your contract and if you like you can take my dog for a walk and see a bit of the City" .Nigel Callaghan " O K ". Cally takes the dog out and dog gets away from him and wanders off. Cally returns to Club Offices, having searched half of Nottingham he lost the dog,  sh1tting himself. Back in Clough's room , Cally returns apologetic (dog is under desk) , surprised to see the dog and a contract still on the desk, so he signs it Clough says "Now let that be a lesson to you young man, I'm the only guvnor around here".
.

So Clough had two identical dogs; what a genius.

let me get someone to sort out the paperwork on your contract and if you like you can take my dog for a walk and see a bit of the City

How long did he need to count £10K in tenners?

Nigel Callaghan,never played for Forest.

...though he was a substitute dog walker

Callaghan turned up on Greece Uncovered, blew a condom over his head using his nose. impressive stuff

Shamrock Rovers fans used to sing about Roy Keane:

"Give him the ball and a yard of grass, he'll meet you with the perfect pass."
