#4  Sorry to hear of Clough's passing. He was a terrific personality and great soccer mind. Hard to believe he beat Georgie Best to the graveyard.

#3  Yup, probably the greatest manager but never got the top job due to his outspoken nature - never got a knighthood for the same reason.

#2  As I understand it, Clough was never the manager for England's soccer team. Is that right?

#1  Sorry to be indulgent with Fred's bandwidth, but today sees the passing of a great Briton and the best English football manager of all time, Brian Clough. Clough won back to back European Cups and won the league with his Derby County and Nottingham Forest sides of the seventies and eighties. More than that he was an eccentric, a gentleman and a drunkard. A politically incorrect voice in a very PC world. God Bless you Old Big 'Ead!
