Brian Clough v Muhammad Ali

[MistaFozz]

***really liked bob wilson

[MistaFozz]

his mam really bob wilson mind...She would have a new son called bob wilson clough...legend rip

[rutlandyid]

i think he was a very funny man,some would say arrogant but i think funny

[AdemSkoric97]

the 1 don't like it is DONALD REAVIE....CLOUGH WAS THE BEST

[southernbrooklyngal]

omg, at first glance I thought that was michael sheen! Wow

[BlessThisChild]

"There's no such thing as a side making a manager" - tell that to Pep Guardiola.

[Dannyhandsome]

lol @ Frost / Clough

Michael Sheen vs Michael Sheen

[therion35]

Fantastic manager. I loved the movie. That thing with Ali is supper funny.

[27danielDM]

Brian Clough talked the talk and walked the walk. And then talked some more.

[MultiPlayaaa]

brian clough was the very best manager in the world i reckon

you want to know why?

he was from fucking middlesbrough .....that whitty in the man got him what he wanted

THE BEST

[hellraiser917]

The greatest manager ever after most Scottish managers!!

[tenaciousd1888]

Thing is he didn't have the best players but he knew how to get a performance out of them. Footballers are a disgrace these days between there cheating, diving, foul language, talking back to refs and their conduct off the park. Clough would not take any of that for one second!!

[jgthom]

Brian Clough, a great socialist and a VERY bright man.

[minicopilot]

This guy talked the talk and walked the walk. A real man.

[pocketking91]

Martin O'neil is such a sap :|

[2001perseus]

And how did Derby do without him?

[madmax8903]

@2001perseus They won the title again in 1975. Not much to write home about since though.

[ThePuppi3000]

@madmax8903 Still good for a small club. Bigger clubs than that have NEVER won it

[AgelessRyan]

he may be awkward, confrontational and belligerent but he was a man determined that no one should get by him. it's safe to say we won't see an another Cloughie again, just like we wont see an another Georgie Best.

[igotswagg15]

Thumbs up if he kinda looks like Tom Hanks

[dan1000ification]

what movie is that song at 1:18 from at

[ilgraham]

Charmistic Football Manager. I say he is in the top three of the most charmistic sporting figures of all time, along Ali and Ted Williams

[keith23uk]

Oh hang on I also remeber seeing ITV doing one of these also!

[keith23uk]

This was shown on the BBC again a few months ago! This was not on ITV!

[xxx9518]

Derby's chairman at the time was a fool, because Clough could've won Derby the two European cups rather than shitty forest.

[TONYSPURSMAN]

A Great Man

[jackofclubz]

3:13 fail 

[UncleMikeNJ]

Those managers that recruitmentch cited, do they get lots of books written about them? (Well, maybe Capello, for having a run as England manager that makes Clough's 44 days at Leeds look like 2004 Arsenal.) Do they get movies made about them? Are they loved?

Yes, Clough was pompous, although he was hardly a snob. How could he be, being a Smoggie? But, seriously, I wouldn't say recruitmentch's comment is the worst on this page... but it's in the top one.

[recruitmentch]

@UncleMikeNJ that because he comes from a land that overrated everything and anything that nears quality. anything that achieves success in the uk is put on a pedestal. if you think that this guy was a better manager than sacchi, then it's absolute proof that you know fuck all about football outside the uk.

[UncleMikeNJ]

@recruitmentch Clough managed Derby and Nottingham Forest to league titles. And he never had a van Basten or a Gullit on his team. Did Sacchi ever take, say, Lecce to the Serie A title? Doesn't mean he wasn't a great manager, but Clough took mediocre players and made them into great teams. That's the mark of a great manager, seeing what others don't see and bringing it out, i.e. Arsene Wenger with the previously overlooked Vieira and Henry.

[recruitmentch]

@UncleMikeNJ firstly. no one can doubt his achievements. My point is that the english books that have been written about this guy purely concern his ego / personality, and not anything concerning tactical legacy. like herrera, sacchi actually invented a style that was not seen before. styles and formations that are in every tactics and formations books studied by coaches around the world. this cannot be said about clough.

[smilerboyboy]

@recruitmentch yeah but its not my money, and not my team, all you Italians lack passion for the game.

[recruitmentch]

@smilerboyboy man you talk utter crap. 

[thedayimet]

Hi, just wanted to update you all on the progress of my book. I am putting together a book of memories from people who met the great Brian Clough. I have had lots of fantastic stories so far and have four publishers interested, so its looking very promising.

I still need more, so if you ever met him please put drop me a line with your story for inclusion, I will read and reply to everyone. The email address is thedayimet@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks

[musicguy9384]

Martin O'Neill, what a twat

[converse91970]

"Good managers make good sides"......classic!

[fancythathat]

Greatest football manager ever

[Aurelio226]

Title= No comparison. Ali was far more interesting and charismatic.

However, Brian Clough is a very respectable man.

[tyson10682]

so we've all got it wrong then brian?... yes i'm afraid you have!!!! love it

[TheJmlwb]

What an absolute F*****' legend. How you are missed Mr. Clough.

[hearns00001]

Mourinho.

[joshwakeman]

@hearns00001 cunt

[mizofan]

What a great manager he was. What a loss for the England team. I say that as a Welshman; would we have beaten England at Wembley in 77 if Clough had been manager? I doubt it. He was a fantastic team builder, could have built England into world beaters. Derby and Notts Forest have never been the same before or since; what he achieved with them was little short of miraculous

[jkoff76]

Brian Clough was what we Americans call, "A real piece of work." And that means exactly what foreigners think it means. Yanks love Brian Clough!!

The Damned United was a big art house hit here and even my American football loving friends were over heard saying, "Don't be the wandering Jew!!"

[grantg3]

@jkoff76 Really? thats nice to know, im a Sunderland fan never got to see him play way before my time, Was a true hero of football and the North East.

R.I.P Brian The Greatest Manager England Never Had

[CyprusMike]

They dont make them like him anymore

His British spirit won this country two world wars!

[bigeyd]

greatest England manager never picked to do the job,the FA are as big a joke now as they were then.

Cov fan btw and hate Forest but he was something else...RIP

[thedayimet]

If anyone would like to get their story of when they met Cloughie in a new book, please get in touch and drop me a line

[theplayer7171]

[BEG4MERCY1112]

old big ed ha legend

[GTWHITEFEVER]

Cloughie was loved by fans of all clubs .... at one time or another we all wanted him as our manager ...i cant think of a better tribute to the man ... God bless you Brian ..you were the real deal ...

[boobylicious3000]

@sefgrt

I agree whole heartedly. Good on you.

[rc2869]

Genius - he took 2 footballing nobody clubs and made them into the best in Europe.RIP Cloughie - from a Villa fan

[500bhpcossie]

alex ferguson is the greastest manager ever thats a fact look wot he did at aberdeen uafa cup winners leauge winners cup winner european super cup winners then took united to the most sucseefull culb ever u cant even compare shankly clough any of these guys with him

[sefgrt]

@500bhpcossie

You are the most arrogant piece of shit i have ever heard!

I'm a united fan and even I acknowledge what Clough did for Football!

Go and Learn your histroy before you start mouthing off you ugly bastard

[blobbym]

@500bhpcossie $

[Topcat9593]

LOL Brian was so funny!

WHHHOOOAAA It's crap!

My grandad is exactly like Brian .... although Brian was, of course, a football genius. My grandad just isn't. I still love him though :) <3

[tiltmonk]

lol @ 2:24

[mbrooks1976]

This is great. Wish the rest of it was here. Thanks for posting anyway. God bless Brian Clough....Legend

[yeah445555555]

bill shankly was the the greateset ever manager in history

[dandoman01]

@yeah445555555 Ferguson was probably better, but neither Shankly or Ferguson have done what Brian Clough did with Forrest.

[Isleofskye]

Clough was a great Manager but that is EXACTLY what Shankly did!

When he took over Liverpool they had a ramshackle Stadium and were nearly bottom of Division 2 with no history.

He built and created the Liverpool Empire that Paisly continued.

I do not support Derby/Forest or Liverpool but Millwall who I first went to see in 1961, a mere 49 years ago..lol

[custer1959]

All Managers have people working for or with them and if their successful, they can thank them. It's down to who has the final say on the team sheet. It can't be a joint decision. My guess it was Clough.

[raleighgranprix]

HE didn't do his great stuff without Peter Taylor. Co-Managers.

[MrMod1981]

LEGEND

[TrueBlueHalliday]

The two best ever sports personalities!

Best Manager

Best Boxer

What an honour for muhammad ali to mention clough...considering every household in the world recognises ali, and the knowledge of football (especially in america at the time) was barely minimal. 2 great men!

[WatchVenusSpa]

Why oh why was Eric Idle not considered to play Clough in The Damned United?

[madaesmaj]

because he is dead you goon!

[WatchVenusSpa]

Meaning they waited too damn long to make a movie about Clough.

[Nacho1888]

@madaesmaj

Eric Idle is NOT dead YOU GOON!

[HoseAdidas10]

He is a legend! Wonderful coach...

[supercoolwillman]

a true legend

[mattkandis]

"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one." no doubt.....

[thebrahmabull12]

''Theres certain players in the game, who couldnt take the ball from my wife and bobs one of them'' Dont no who hes talking but still, wat a Quote, timeless cloughy :P

[Jimmyoneleg]

'are you going to stop it?' no, i want to fight him. lol quality

[charliebigspudz]

Immense man.

[joekippax]

Top Man say no more

[Horatius1981]

What documentary is this from?

[hammerfalljag]

From the ITV program shown earlier in the year. Almost an hour long, an absolute gem.

[benmc83]

you can buy this documentary on itunes!

[BoxFreshNikes]

"You want bloody shootin'!!"

[sussexmews]

Whens Boycott gonna fit some Corks on strings to that fcking silly hat?

[B8rkley]

The Legend himself. DCFC till I Die.

[Ohyewildthong]

Greatest Manager ever!!

[goatboy679]

4.10 Eric Idle is a fuckin legend.

[bohsmb78]

not that they would but if they ever made a movie about his frost interview at 2.42, which one wouldn't be played by michael sheen

[scrawneystick]

Haha good point, he could try and play both I suppose! He's certainly the only actor I could see playing both unless they got David Frost in to interview Sheen playing Clough

[bradford1911]

The greatest manager ever.

[recruitmentch]

@bradford1911 I admire this guy for what he achieved. But in Italy and in england, many managers went on to achieve greater successes, without the rude and obnoxious manner of this guy.

[scousenick1980]

Many? Really? Can you put this big list on here because I must have missed something.

[recruitmentch]

@scousenick1980 in italy, sacchi, lippi and capello have all achieved greatly without acting like a pompous snob.

[smilerboyboy]

@recruitmentch because they are all boring non passionate typical Italians, they are all about the money!

[recruitmentch]

@smilerboyboy you english are the ones paying them all the money

[smilerboyboy]

@recruitmentch you know nothing about Clough, you talk shit. shut up.

[recruitmentch]

@smilerboyboy and how did you work that one out?

[bennysupertramp2]

missing from there u want bloody shooting lad haha lmao

[thenickelbackfan0]

awesome video.
