BRIAN CLOUGH - INTERVIEW ON THE SAINT & GREAVSIE SHOW - 15TH OCTOBER 1988 

Brian Clough, Ian St John, and now today 19/09/21 Jimmy Greaves. RIP three legends.

I personally could listen too Brian Clough talking or even shouting all day .rest in peace sir .

The cut to Greavsie with the dictionary was genius.

The honesty pours from this legend of football. sadly missed.

Oh boy I miss the football era of Cloughie and Saint and Greavsie, such an amazing time for the sport before money took over.

we need more managers like Brian clough

How he got Nottingham Forest promotion third place with a very low 52 points to actually win the league the very next season ahead of Liverpool by 7 points then go and win the European cup twice 🏆🏆 absolutely remarkable ‼️

Football needs another programme along the lines of saint and greavsie used to love it on a Saturday dinner time

I grew up with Brian Clough on the telly. He was so familiar to me. When he took over at Forest and then the European Cups and League title when I was 19, he was the ultimate legend. I was really sad when he died; a passing great.

Brian Clough.....the greatest football manager England never had.

Castracised is a superb new word that Cloughie has invented. You automatically know what it means.

Hard to believe that all 3 of these legends r no longer with us. We will never see their likes again..

A wonderful man and a great, in fact the greatest, manager.

Brian Clough could have a 2 hour conversation about football with himself. Knew the game inside and out and from administration, board level, dressing room, on the pitch, down to the ball boys and tea lady’s

The greatest manager of all time. Turned a shipwreck into a vessel not once but twice

Middlesbrough born and bred cloughy. What a legend.

Clough + Saint & Greavsie All legends. Now we are stuck with Lineker complaining that he had a hard time due to having a sun tan

i loved saint and Greaves, brilliant show.

Cloughie is spot on as always

THE GREATEST MANAGER SPEAKS THE TRUTH AGAIN. RIP SIR BRIAN CLOUGH. FOOTBALL GENIUS

"To de-cobble!" Comedy gold!

Its actually amazing hearing Cough essentially setting out the arguments that would eventually lead to the Premier League, as in so many things he was ahead of his time. I remember that ITV deal being seen as the end of football, arguments about its on too much etc, people won't come any to the grounds any more even then, But Cough was right, football needed to adjust itself to the world it was in, the ITV deal was a step towards that and the Sky deal took it to the next level. Even as someone who is unhappy about many of the changes wrought by the coming of the Premier league, the game needed to move forward, and Clough understood this

The greatest! “RIP Brian Clough”

Fantastic manager - need more like him.

The thing about this fella, he spoke from the heart without ingratiating anyone- of course he got lots wrong LOL..but the same with Greavsie. Still dearly missed by us Forest fans

great guy such a joy to listen too

Oh Jimmy you were magnificent

Brilliant Brian Ian Jimmy may you all R.I.P

I am 71 and privileged to been part of the Leeds and forest and most of all Brian Clough era

Football focus is shite compared to this. Humour and honesty and not taking yourself too seriously.

He was spot on. He'd probably heavily dislike the power the TV companies now have over the game now though. A very wise man.

The days when managers, players and fans were not poles apart. He was not always right but he was no YES man!

Brian Clough there, predicting the rise of Sky Sports. The guy could even predict the future!

When football was football and a not a multimillion pound business vehicle.

Its seems like yesterday, I didn't have a care in the world, and enjoyed watching these characters, and now there gone, but fast forward Clough was before his time, and as he predicted it was a good deal, the game is unrecognisable.

I miss theses days.

Can listen to Brian Clough plus Saint & Greavsie all day long Brian had real friendship with them Always got Honesty from Clough Biggest Compliment could bestow on this Hat-Trick of proper football characters the game is for Terraces Up/Down Country to be as one & Knighthoods all round Sir Saint Sir Greavsie Sir Cloughie That from football fans would mean more than any day at Buck Palace & medal from Queen no Terraces chanting their names ,handshakes pie & Bovril with few nips whiskey that'll do the real Likely Lads .Men who played, managed as it once was The Beautiful Game Thanks for Entertainment North & South Fans alike miss these legendary characters off greatness Shanks got kettle on waiting on yous ,now their final whistles have sounded Terraces applaud Champions RIP .

With the passing of Clough, St John, Greavsie, Jimmy Hill, Brian Moore, Tony Gubba ....the list goes on, we will never see their like again sadly. Growing up watching these on the TV was a special time in football when, football wasn't corrupt to the core by greedy owners, business ppl & TV companies.

Clever man

The best manager that England never had.

“Legend”

Castracised! Classic.

Magical....

footballs brilliant this time of year. Its brilliant any time of year actually. Bloody hilarious

Great stuff.

It's no surprise that people who were nurtured by Cloughie speak their minds, such as Roy Keane... the world is a lesser place without more people like Cloughie

Brilliant!

I always like hearing the story of Clough being accused of being too dictatorial in his style. And I remember loving hearing his response which was, 'well, whenever that happens, we sit down we have an indepth converservation, and then we decide i was right...!' To me that was typical Clough, rude but with a smile on his face lol

I hope Greavsie has recovered a bit by now. His record as top scorer in the top 4 European leagues was only recently beaten by Ronaldo - who took a year longer. Plus Jimmy played for mid table clubs, not European titans. Clough is the best English goals per game record holder 259 in 271. His lament was that he'd score 4 but the defence would concede 5. Another age.

Where have all the characters gone? A bygone era producing this nations finest. Players too.

Football Gold.🔝

The greatest England manager we never had said what he meant

As a Nottingham Forest supporter, I’m glad he never got the England job in 1977, because if he and Peter Taylor had gone,Forest might well have missed out on the success of winning the league title and league cup in 1978, retaining the league cup and Winning the European cup in 1979 and retaining the European cup in 1980.A new manager may well have ripped that team apart and brought his own players in.Having said that,I still think Cloughie should have got the England job in 1982,after the World Cup in Spain.Cloughie was such a dynamic manager who wouldn’t have taken any nonsense and would have put plenty of noses out of joint,especially with the FA.And that’s why he didn’t get the job.Because the FA would have been shitting themselves at Cloughie’s bombastic manner.He would have upset plenty of people.When you think of the players we had available after 1982.The likes of Glenn Hoddle,Bryan Robson,Kevin Keegan( who Bobby Robson discarded too early),Terry Butcher,Viv Anderson,Peter Shilton,Steve Coppell,Trevor Francis,Tony Woodcock,etc,etc,we were awash with talent.I do think,no I believe with Cloughie at the helm,we could have got to a final under his management.

What an icon.

Never got the England job , because he wasn't an FA " Yes man " , he couldn't help himself , by always truthfully speaking his mind .

What a visionary you were mate...

Brian was clearly not 100% here as displays some signs of excessive drinking that caused his demise, but he still speaks more sense then most people when they are 100%. Says it all really, what a legend.

As a Man Utd fan I’ll always hold Fergie as the very best but honestly I think Brian Clough edges him ,a great manger at the right time , can you imagine today’s footballers under him .

lmao when he shouts

RIP Saint

Rip Greavesie..

RIP Jimmy.

On Spitting Image, they couldn't imitate Saint's laugh, so would just say, "You kill me Greavsie". Hilarious!

Real Football Fans recognise Clougie as one of Games Legends Old School when Managers ruled ,players feared ,didn't dare cause unrest .England's best Manager they never had I firmly believe Cloughie with Taylor would've win major International tournament Man management was off Shankly ,Stein ,Busby level. Amount ex Cloughie players who've spoken just how good he was esp when needed brought down a peg Big names like Stuart Pearce ,Roy Keane regard Cloughie in highest respect both as manager & a man.His ex players all have hilarious stories Brian Clough was simply a genius ,said what he thought ,to be true & bugger to backlash Character that game sorely missed Real Legend & FA committed football crime not giving Ole Big Head Cloughie England managers job.( even bigger than failure appoint Harry Redknapp) Lived for Football & off course Barbara In Football Heaven green sweatshirt with rugby shirt underneath Tennis Racket & beloved dog beside Shanks,Stein shaking heads at today's fairies footballer imposters From Glasgow Rangers,Scotland fan Thank you for entertainment I bow my head only to true geniuses, Legends Sir Brian Clough RIP .....👏👐👏👐👏👐👏👐👏

Makes me question a little when people say latter day Clough didn't have all his chairs at home; he may have had the odd off day when the cameras were around but THIS interview is one if his best. 1:26 is worthy of a BAFTA.

Mr Clough was genius and God, end of

As a proud Scot he should have been approached to take the Scottish national job and I wager he would have taken it particularly when the England snobs overlooked him.Rest in Peace Brian.

Best man for the England job But never got it because he wasn't a yes man

Castracized sounds like some horrific torture method practised by the Cuban secret police.

Proper interview the fa would fine a manager these days if anyone said anuthing like this know mr clough a legend and a gent

Cloughie was well ahead of his time

When football wasnt politically correct, which is a stain on society now.

1:33 FTW

He wouldn't even get on the telly nowadays, he's not black and he's not gay ,oh and he's a man

Simply the best from a wolves fan

Shameful The FA never appointed Brian Clough as England Manager. The FA must want yes men & Clough would have been the best thing for England

Greavsie was the only person to respond well to Cloughie's mouth.

1:33 😂😂😂

decobbled!! haha

What's that green rugby shirt worth

Compare Saint and Greavsie to Neville and Carragher, or Lineker and Shearer, Saint and Greavsie had more personality in their little fingers than that bunch combined!!

I think the word Cloughie was looking for was "castigated" not castracized

Combination of castigated and ostracised.

0:09 Ostracized is what Brain was looking for.

He was going for either castigate or criticise

Brilliant, "Behave like IDIOTS"

Love Clough, though he was wrong about the impact of TV on football attendances, even a genius is wrong sometimes.

Wow, if he's being interviewed at the City ground, it looks like a real dump. I guess most of them were back then.

The next day y

I wish we had characters like mr clough now but unfortunately there is no free speech nowadays now var as ruined footie

Wonder what Cloughie would make of the money in football now? He seems to foresee football as a commodity, and its finally getting the money it deserves, but christ has it been over commoditised recently!

Sometimes they BEHAVE LIKE IDIOTS. And i'm sorry i'm shouting Ian.

CRITICIZED!

Match of the day libtard lineker

Money has destroyed the game

The poor falla,him and fergie were so self obsessed that it drove them literally insane. You can't beat karma!!

Should have managed England in 1982 world cup .We had those grey men greenwood and howe who had a lot of talent at there disposal but never freed it up ......far to conservative 😠

Rndbbd

clough , when the alcohol was taking control

Got to laugh at all these people reminiscing about Saint and Greavsie. It was utter shite!
