RIP, great manager

We’d have been Brighton and you know it

Without any doubt. ^

Legend. Never see his like again

I'm inclined to think that, a complete one-off.

We turned down Bill Shankley as well and gave the job to Alan Brown the man who relegated Sunderland twice.

As much as i dislike Cowie. It was Keith Collings who said he didnt what the likes of Clough at the club.

Typical SAFC.

Watched the actual interview with him and Revie and as far as what they put in the film re that scene it was a million miles away, iirc there was a lot of criticism about large portions of the movie being not true to life.

Most movies are that way. Otherwise they’d be documentaries. I really enjoyed it and thought the casting was mint.

I always wonder what would've happened if he didn't get the career ending injury.
(SAFC would probably have flogged him cheap)

For a start we wouldn't have had to get a result against Chelsea at home last game in 62-63. We'd have been promoted with games to spare.

If Lenny Ashhurst had just played a short, square pass that Boxing Day afternoon against Bury instead of launching it upfield for Cloughie to chase the whole of our history would have changed.

Fine margins

Great pic. Me da used to drink in the Legion on Stockton Rd and Clough used to get in. Me da reckoned he was a class bloke, but it helped that he’d idolised him on the terraces.

I live with the wonderful pleasure of having watched him play.

Controversial opinion: I am not sure he would have been the great England manager we think. But he more than earned his right to have a go at it.
