September 2, 20169 yr Heard this the other day in the car. I ended up late for an appointment with a customer as I just had to hear the end of it Looks like it's doing the rounds on social media Sounds like Dean Saunders has made it up but for those of a certain age you just know that it's true!! http://talksport.com/football/brilliant-brian-clough-story-you-wont-believe-how-he-tried-seal-record-transfer-deal-must

September 3, 20169 yr There's a really sad element to the story as it all due to Clough's alcoholism. Once listened to Martin O'Neill interviewed soon after Clough died, he was asked did he have any anecdotes. Once he wasn't playing that well, so Clough named him in the reserves. O'Neill went mad so he's looking for Clough. Two combustible characters he's expecting WW3. Finds him, WTF you playing at etc. It's very simple young man. You're too good for the third team. Completely shut O'Neill up.
September 3, 20169 yr Author Does it get funny at any point? I got bored after about 3 minutes It's the black humour about it I've had the dementia with my Dad, the drug addiction with with my brother-in-law and the alcoholism with my mate You listen to stories like that and think yeah I've been through that and although it's very sad there's a really fucking funny side to it Listen to it in full
September 7, 20169 yr Utter bollocks according to Alan Hill. “It’s a good after-dinner speech but unfortunately most of it isn’t true, Brian wasn’t drunk, he wasn’t crawling on his hands and knees, he didn’t sit facing a wall, he didn’t mention the carpet once and there was no flowerpot… it just feels like he [saunders] has put this story through a very imaginative scriptwriter and this is what they’ve come up with.”
September 7, 20169 yr I heard Dean Saunders on Talksport yesterday, I thought he sounded like a right cunt.....especially when he virtually started piping Graeme Souness off and saung he's probably one of the most underrated managers ever
September 7, 20169 yr I heard Dean Saunders on Talksport yesterday, I thought he sounded like a right cunt.....especially when he virtually started piping Graeme Souness off and saung he's probably one of the most underrated managers ever Aye, heard that too. Listened to the Clough thing and thought it was bollocks too, not surprised Hill says most of its not true, Saunders is a cunt. Edited September 7, 20169 yr by bgoefc
