My favourite one was "my door is always open and if anybody has a gripe they are perfectly entitled to come and see me. We'll discuss it for twenty minutes and then we'll agree that I am right". Or words to that effect. :laugh:

Not his exact words but it went something like this.. These people pay your wages. Remember that on Saturday when you are representing Hartlepools United. You could be working here. It's a privilege to be paid for something you love doing. (To workers at GEC/AEI Hartlepool on a visit in late 1965.)

Come and see my coaching certificates - they're called the European Cup and league championships.

Just finished a book , Blloody Southerners , about Cloughs 18mths at Brighton.

In it he said , about the general malaise and whingeing around the place

" Bloody hell ! its worse here than Hartlepool , at least up there they didn't expect anything " :roll:

Brian Clough was truly a one off, characters like that just couldn’t exist as the PC brigade would be allow it. Some of the stuff he came out with was pure gold.
I wouldn’t say I’m the best manager in the country......but I’m in the top one!

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job.

"Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes” – on his football tactics.

one good thing about being old is that i can remember brian clough. the things he actually said were true and not just big headed banter. always rember a quote not from him but from john hollins regarding tactics. he was asked on the radio if had got his tactics right in todays game. his answer was they scored 1 but we scored 2 so there,s your answer.

The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
