Brian Clough stars in a TV ad for East Midlands Electricity!

All football socialists are champagne socialists. However, Richard 'Victor Meldrew' Wilson, Labour's biggest luvvie, once said that they were best kind of socialist, as they aspired for everyone to be able to live a champagne lifestyle.

Any chance of the World Cup '90 ad?! The one for the sticker album in which the legend himself said right at the end: "Wuuurld Coop Nine-tay...I'd look out fer it if I were you!"

East Midlands Electricity.

The cookers.

The dishwashers.

That money, that fucking money, and the new car I'm going to buy with it when I get off this fucking set and home.

I light another fag and pour another whisky. I put on an open-necked white shirt and a grey sports coat. "Ready to go, Brian?" Sure, I tell them. The team you can trust. I stub out my fag, and walk into the lights, those fucking bright, blinding lights. The team you can trust. The team you can trust.

Doing an ad for a privatized electricity company? Against his socialist principles?

[tonyregan021177]

Maybe he saw the light and became a Tory but I think it was the big fat cheque that somehow persuaded him. Hope it was the Tory theory though.

At the time wasn't EME just another Electricity Board in the UK,before privatisation saw the name change?

[bennyretro]

Apparently it became private in 1990 and stayed under that name, despite being dismantled from within, until being taken over by Powergen in 1998. So it all depends whether this is from the 'early 1990s' or not.

Anyone got the classic E Mids Electricity ad feat Cloughie and Cheri Lunghi? 'Hey, your left back's getting out of control'?

[reetreeta]
