John Moston Gets Destroyed by Brian Clough

"I'm far more qualified than you (John Motson) or any of your colleagues"

Very funny John Motson interview with Brian Clough. Even then, Clough thought there was too much football on TV and over analysed.

I'd have loved to have seen Alan Green interview him. He would've sai what we all think of him!

As with many such people he is romantisised about in the media. Don't forget his drinking and self centredness. I'd also like to hear what Alan Sugar thinks of him.

Why isn't Motty at the world cup?

he is there as a pundit, the BBC had the good sense to stop him commentating live he was getting very embarrassing.

Probably preaching to the converted here but I can't recommend enough the book 'Provided You Don't Kiss Me' by Duncan Hamilton.

Found footage of Brighton 2 - Bristol Rovers 8.   And the Moore/Clough interview afterwards - Cloughie very measured in his response, particularly protective of his keeper (Brian Powney).

Warboys and Bannister are the only names I remember.

Proper football.

In retrospect Cloughie was the best but at the time he was an annoying bloody so and so.

He also did the same type of thing to Gary Newbon on a regular basis.

Even more embarrassing is the fact he's now classed as some kind of expert summariser. He knows no more than anyone on here about football. He's never been involved in the game, other than memorising statistics.

He started off by going on about there being too much football on TV, and at the end was having a go for not showing enough of it.

Living in Nottingham and being the only Villa shirt on Bestwood Park I absolutely loathed him and everything about Forest.







I was wrong.
