Brian Clough - We loved his ego, but he was his own biggest critic. Known to rip players to pieces for lack of commitment, but did the same to himself when he made a mistake. Brought the European Cup to Nottingham twice and was simply the best Manager England never had. Malcolm Allison - Way ahead of his time in coaching techniques, he was a flamboyant, cigar puffing, sheepskin coat wearing Manager, that exuded a love of football. Bill Shankly is up there with them too. (Man Utd fan)
It doesn´t matter whether it was on the field, on the telly or in the manager´s office. There were characters in football in those days. There aren´t now.
The Genius word is over used today, but does apply to Clough. He would have been a success in any walk of life had he chosen. Given the right education, contacts and connections could have risen to cabinet minister or prime minister had he chosen something like politics as a career as opposed to football. I genuinely think he was more intelligent than most politicians.
Interesting the Spurs fan what is it with City and Spurs?? It never ends and it started way before 1981 I'm City but I like Spurs a lot especially with the attack minded Redknap
2 legends both born in Middlesbrough.

@SeventiesMania That's a "World of Sport" tie.
Cloughie and Big Mal were like chalk and cheese but what phenomenal football coaches they were and treated each other with enormous respect. Legends.
Imagine seeing this nowadays...?
No, thought not.
