Ask any Derby County fan about DCFC’s best football manager of all time - and Brian Clough’s name will usually come up.
Yes Mr Clough, full name Brian Howard Clough, is widely considered to be Derby County’s greatest ever gaffer.
For our latest retro gallery we just had to throw a spotlight on Cloughie whose humour, biting wit and straight-talking is the stuff of legend.
When Clough walked onto Derby’s Baseball Ground in the summer of 1967, little did we know how much he would impact Derby County’s fortunes.
From quotes about the Beckhams and Sven Goran Eriksson, take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some of Clough’s top quotes.
(We dare you not to laugh, they are hilarious.)
