Sad Day For Football
Football legend Brian Clough sadly passed away today after
losing his battle with stomach cancer. Although Clough has no link
to NUFC he does have a link to the North East having been born in
Middlesbrough and played for Sunderland and I'm sure many of you reading
this will recognise he was a truly great manager and an indelible
part of footballing history in this Country (UK) and that this is
a sad sad day for all true football lovers. R.I.P Brian Clough
Cloughie quotes:
"If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have
put grass up there." On the importance of passing to feet.
"Manchester United in Brazil? I hope they all get bloody diarrhea."
On Man Utd opting-out of the FA Cup to play in the World Club Championship.
"I can't even spell spaghetti never mind talk Italian. How could I
tell an Italian to get the ball - he might grab mine." On the influx
of foreign players.
"I bet their dressing room will smell of garlic rather than liniment
over the next few months." On the number of French players at Arsenal.
"Who the hell wants fourteen pairs of shoes when you go on holiday?
I haven't had fourteen pairs in my life." On the contents of Posh
Spice's missing luggage.
"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was
in the top one." Looking back at his success.
"On occasions I have been big headed. I think most people are when
they get in the limelight. I call myself Big Head just to remind myself
not to be." Old Big 'Ead explains his nickname.
"At last England have appointed a manager who speaks English better
than the players." On the appointment of Sven Goran Eriksson as England
manager.
"If he'd been English or Swedish, he'd have walked the England job."
On Martin O'Neill.
"Anybody who can do anything in Leicester but make a jumper has got
to be a genius." A tribute to Martin O'Neill.
"The ugliest player I ever signed was Kenny Burns." A Clough complement
for a talented player.
"Stand up straight, get your shoulders back and get your hair cut."
Advice for John McGovern at Hartlepool.
"Take your hands out of your pockets." More advice, this time for
a young Trevor Francis as he receives an award from the Master Manager.
"The Derby players have seen more of his balls than the one they're
meant to be playing with." On the streaker who appeared during Derby's
game against Manchester United.
"I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him
very hard." On dealing with Roy Keane.
"Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead
of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. They
are absolutely right." Reflecting on his drink problem.
"I'm dealing with my drinking problem and I have a reputation for
getting things done." A comment which speaks for itself.
"Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while
I'm alive." After the operation which saved his life.
"Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked
about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes." Reflecting
on England's exit from Euro 2000.
"We talk about it for twenty minutes and then we decide I was right."
On dealing with a player who disagrees.
"I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing.
I contributed - I would hope they would say that, and I would hope
somebody liked me," On how he would like to be remembered.
"It was a crooked match and he was a crooked referee. That was a tournament
we could and should have won." On the 1984 UEFA Cup semi-final Forest
lost to Anderlecht.
"I'm sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave
me the job, I'd want to run the show. They were shrewd, because that's
exactly what I would have done." On not getting the England manager's
job.
"You don't want roast beef and Yorkshire every night and twice on
Sunday." On too much football on television.
"If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should
go as well." On too many managers getting the boot.
"I thought it was my next door neighbour, because I think she felt
that if I got something like that, I'd have to move." Guessing who
nominated him for a knighthood.
"For all his horses, knighthoods and championships, he hasn't got
two of what I've got. And I don't mean balls!" Referring to Sir Alex
Ferguson's failure to win two successive European Cups.
"I like my women to be feminine, not sliding into tackles and covered
in mud." On women's football.
''That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time
looking in his mirror, rather than at the ball. You can't keep goal
with hair like that." On England goalkeeper David Seaman.
"I've missed him. He used to make me laugh. He was the best diffuser
of a situation I have ever known. I hope he's alright." On the late
Peter Taylor.
"He's learned more about football management than he ever imagined.
Some people think you can take football boots off and put a suit on.
You can't do that." On David Platt's first season as Forest manager.
"He should guide Posh in the direction of a singing coach because
she's nowhere near as good at her job as her husband." Advice for
David Beckham.
"Barbara's supervising the move. She's having more extensions built
than Heathrow Airport." On moving house in Derbyshire.
