Who could ever forget the late Brian Clough one of the best football managers ever,who had success at Derby and Nottingham Fotest,with the latter going on to win the European Cup and winning the league title twice.
Brian was certainly a character,his out-spoken manner certainly ruffled a lot of feathers,but I always enjoyed watching him.Like so many and even to this day,I really wished Brian had bern given the England manager's job.Sadly,it wasn't to be.I still remember the bitter disappointment when the FA rejected him.Brian"s interview wasn't successful,so we can only imagine what might have been.If he had failed to deliver,at least we would have had the satisfaction that Brian had at least tried.To this day,many and myself,still say he was the best manager England never had.
His interview here with John Motson,was somewhat weird,but Brian was Brian.I think he'd be outraged at what's going on in today's game.How I wished I could have met him.Still a big miss to this day.
Rest in Peace Brian.
I watched the Motson interview a couple of weeks ago and almost posted it in your topic.

The FA couldn’t handle him as the England manager, and the rest is history.
Still miss him.
