Aside the Saunders story which Alan Hill claimed was 90% bullshit. I know who I'm inclined to believe. Well known Clough had a drink problem but to embellish a story like Saunders did was disrespectful and upsetting to Clough's family. The Crossley story appear's genuine and a fair recollection. Not the first time it's been recalled by Crossley.
Snap..he does a cracking Cloughie impression..hes even got his mannerisms off to a tee as well! You can tell that Clougie has made a huge impact on Crossleys' career!
The corporatisation of all sport has completely ruined things for me as a spectator. I still love my beloved Radiers and West Bromwich Albion; but there's way too much showbiz and histrionics from the players. Personalities like Cloughie, Malcolm Alison, Big Ron and the like are gone and never to return along with the sheer excitment.
Saw him at Forest at the end, hugging a kissing the player's, obviously he was a piss head, red cheeks and nose, but he was the greatest manager England never had, absolute legend no one better
Mark Crossley has got Brian Clough impersonation off to a tee, absolutely brilliant, you can listed to these stories a million times and still laugh every time, priceless.
Cloughie was incomparable and is irreplaceable. The more I hear his interviews and stories about him; the better I understand why the vast majority of his players loved him and still do to this day. Crossley's impression of Cloughie is absolute class.
The best thing about under the cosh..... keeping real football players and real football fans connected Something the MSM could never comprehend or accept Thanks lads Fucking brilliant 🇮🇪❤️
Stumbled across this a year ago whilst driving form Newcastle to Elgin and it was the best drive with the Highlands and me creased listening to Clough stories.
Had huge respect for Cloughie when we (oldham) played Forrest in league cup final..On the walk out he made sure big Joe Royle basked in the occasion and walked ahead of him..he pushed him forward as if to say come on Joe you deserve this. He was a true one off ,the game needed Cloughie as England boss.
Unless you have millions forget it, plus from football point of view they can stick the money money money Premier up their canyon. Even the Div2-Div1-Champ.-Prem 2 whatever, is just about money. Real football is in the lower leagues & more enjoyable.
Mark crossley has some brilliant Cloughy stories ,but the Craig Bromfield interview will bring you close to tears, what a class act Clough and the whole family were
Another excellent candid & sometime hilarious inside story from a very good keeper & down to earth bloke. One of the best podcasts on here. BC was an absolute genius at man-management & psychology.
Watched loads of these through the lockdown but this one is pure gold dust .. literally got tears streaming down my face .. isn’t there a video to go with it anywere ? Brilliant
Brilliant, love any Cloughie stories but especially from core Forest players. Was in the Kop for the towering header goal, Hell of a career. Mark you're class act.!!!
Although I was 4 when he retired I miss him in this world at the moment. You will never see another one speaking the. Truth on British TV like him and there will never be another Cloughie. R.I.P
Brian Clough just didn't give a fuck....love hearing cloughie stories with that accent...nearly choked about Charles walking his dog...fuckin hell mark crossley playing Saturday league and Archie gemel Christ hilarious..
Best podcast ever I must of listened to it over 25 time's, shit house bang on form and has cloughies impression down to a t but the star of show is Mr Brian Howard Clough may he rest in peace with the rest of the football god's!!!
Not Forrest fan,but hearing Clough's stories i become a fan,and love Sherwood Forrest for camping,but this was funny and entertaining,and Cloughs and the modern over paid footballers,would of been truly interesting ,and him on match of the day while certain commentators kiss modern day players arses ,were Clough would of said if they were shit or not ,sooooo missed.
Thanks Mark, for sharing that. Me and my mates were howling with laughter. Brilliantly told... it’s like Cloughy were in the room... thanks.. needed that.
It’s a sign of how highly Cloughie is thought of when rival supporters like myself can revere the man . I rarely have any time for rival football managers past or present but Cloughie is the exception. Who have we had since ? Poor imitations like Mourinho whose demeanour was just like a sexually frustrated teenage boy who has been asked to wash the car. Mark Crossley is a master story teller and perfect mimic of BC (and was a great goalie too)
Brian Clough was quite simply the best manager of ALL TIME. His man management was far superior to anyone else. He did things that you wouldn't realise at the time was the best for you. Youd only realise months later. Top top manager. Btw crossley a sound guy man hes good mates n drinking partner with David Hirst ex wednesday
