Old Big'ead Passes Away

[McKenna]

Legendary former Nottingham Forest and Derby County boss Brian Clough has died from stomach cancer at the age of 69.
Clough, who suffered ill-health for many years and had a liver transplant in 2003, died in Derby City hospital.

Clough took Forest to successive European Cups in 1979 and 1980, and also won successive League titles.

His eccentric approach became legendary but Clough was one of the most respected bosses in the game, bowing out of management in 1993.

It was down to what cloughie said that caused the sun to run with the whole, scousers were robbing the bodies etc.

Then his apoligy was "it was a joke to try and lighten the mood, so he either had no tact to tell jokes whilst 96 fans were dead/dying or he was a liar.

Dont get me wrong as a manager he was one of the greatest england have ever produced.

But as a man I lost all respect for him after what he done at hillsbrough
