Undoubtedly the best manager of my lifetime.

met him at Uttoxeter races a few weeks ago.

Top bloke, sad loss

I agree - compared to current day managers with their millions he fashioned a team almost from nothing. Great interviews at the time - what a character (and dont forget Peter Taylor).

Great manager and person.

My family is from Nottingham

My brother got blown up in Northern Ireland in 1979 and was in Woolwich hospital for 6 months (burns etc). Cloughie sent him letter and called him during a 1 Million pound deal telling him to 'get up off his backside as quickly as possible and a season ticket was waiting for him at the city ground' .

An old mate of mine ran on the pitch dressed as a clown late 70's cloughie ran and caught him escorted him off.

Got so many memories of this talented and compassionate man.

RIP Brian ole big ead OBE
