Fergie86 376 Posted September 20, 2016 Twelve years ago, European Cup (x2) winning football manager Brian Clough died. Some Cloughy quotes: "Rome wasn't built in a day.

"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” There will never be another Brian Clough a true one off and a legend even if he was a few bottles short of a crate. Some more classic Clough Quotes "I can't even spell Spaghetti never mind talk Italian, how could i tell an Italian to go and grab the Ball? he might grab mine." "The River Trent is lovely, i should know i have being walking on it for the past 18 years." "When i go, God is going to have to give up his favourite chair." "Beckham? his wife can't sing and his barber can't cut hair" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
