Twelve years ago, European Cup (x2) winning football manager Brian Clough died.

 

 

 

 

Some Cloughy quotes:

 

 

 

"Rome wasn't built in a day. But I wasn't on that particular job."

"I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard."

On who might have nominated him for a knighthood: "I thought it was my next-door neighbour because I think she felt that if I got something like that I would have to move."

"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one"

"“We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right”
