On Saturday the 20th September just give a thought to Mr Clough on the tenth anniversary of his death and as you do have a read of just some of his many quotes below, there were many, many more.
The best manager England never had. RIP
“When I go, God’s going to have to give up his favourite chair.”
“I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business…but I was in the top one.”
“I regret telling the entire world and his dog how good a manager I was. I knew I was the best but I should have said nowt and kept the pressure off ‘cos they’d have worked it out for themselves.”
“His wife can’t sing and his barber can’t cut hair.” (On David Beckham)
“We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night but we had to leave a little bit early and get home and watch Match of the Day. My wife still complains she missed the last five minutes of every film we saw.”
“I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn’t have hit him very hard.” (On dealing with Roy Keane)
“Outside the family life, there is nothing better than winning the European Cups.”
“Resignations are for prime ministers and those caught with their trousers down, not for me.”
“We’d talk for 20 minutes, then decide I was right.” (On how he handled disputes with players)
"On occasions I have been big-headed. I think most people are when they get in the limelight. I call myself big head just to remind myself not to be."
