StarSparkle   10 #5 Posted September 20, 2004 This is really sad news - as you say, the greatest manager that England never had.  RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
timo   10 #6 Posted September 20, 2004 May he rest in peace. Life, for me, is all about characters. Clough was a marvellous character; frank, fearless and original. He will always be remembered as a superb manager who won the loyalty and affection of players and fans alike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tosh13 Â Â 11 #8 Posted September 20, 2004 I Remember the day United beat Forest & they were relegated ,Roy Keane standing in the middle of the pitch while Cloughy applauded all the supporters even I felt sorry for them,all season they were too good to go down but it happened & that killed Cloughy that day,now there is talk of a postumous Knighthood what a joke Cloughy should have been Knighted years ago for his contribution to football & the like,s of Brooking what has he ever done,he was an overated player for England & West Ham,but I guess if Cloughy had been a southerner he would have been Knighted.

JoeP Â Â 11 #11 Posted September 20, 2004 This is really sad. Â I was bought up on Forest and Cloughie, and received my Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award from him. He was a great bloke - what you saw was what you got. Â His slapping the 'fan' and then kissing and making up with them reminded me of a footballing Patton. Â He was able to manage without having to please the board of directors, the stockmarket and assorted hangers onners - and the game was better for it. Â He'll be missed - we need a few more like him. One of the 'Awkward Squad', I can only imagine him lining up and enquiring how he can get his 'big head' through the Pearly Gates. Â Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
owdlad   10 #12 Posted September 20, 2004 I can imagine the scene when he gets to the Pearly gates. St Peter greets him and asks him to hang on a minute as he wants to have a word with the big G, and BC shouting and telling him "Young man tell him he's in my chair".  God bless you Cloughie, the world will be a poorer place for your passing.
