I always got the impression that he held Aston Villa in high regard.Whenever I watch the final I always have a chuckle about how we moan about the bias of commentators to the Mancs etc as Cloughie may as well have been sitting in a Villa shirt while he was commentating he wanted us to win so much.

If I remember he was very complimentary on the night.The way he was giving Tony Barton advice before the game was fantastic.Tony was like a little kid.

Got to be on of the most one sided finals ever.
1982 European Cup Final - at the final whistle Clough - "We've done it"
Clough would never have come to Villa in a million years.He had an O'Neill-esque control over Forest and he wouldn't give that up.He was on big, big money there as well.

I think he may have come then if offered it but doubht he would have lasted long with Ellis.
Think it was more a case of really, really hating ze Germans.
