Happy birthday to Brian, happy 46th birthday to Nigel for Monday, and my 24th in between 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> .

I love the footage of him on the training ground: 'OHHHH you are a bloody disgrace! For missing the target from there you want bloody shooting!'

That time he destroyed Motson is classic as well, even if that was when he was at Forest.

Happy Birthday Sir Brian.

My two favourites:

[size=4][size=4]"Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes."[/size][/size]

[size=4][size=4]"Rome wasn't built in a day. But I wasn't on that particular job."[/size][/size]

Some links for you all to enjoy..

A couple more quotes from Clough Confidential -

Harry Storer told me: "When you become a manager and you are leaving for an away game, look around the team coach and count the number of hearts. If you are lucky there will be five. If there aren't, turn the coach around and go back".

Dave Mackay was Derby County. He was better than Bobby Moore.

One of the worst crimes you can commit, not just in football but in life, is to ask people to deliver something they haven't got. That destroys them totally.

When the FA get in their stride, they make the Mafia look like kindergarten material.

My wife said to me in bed, "God your feet are cold'. I said "You can call me Brian in bed dear".

I met Brian at the Racecourse in the early days. A lady said to him that she had told Mike Yarwood off for his impersonations of Cloughie. Brian said "He's a good lad, he likes Derby County!" A young lad asked for his autograph and he said, "Do you think you could wait until after I've been in to bat. My hands are shaking too much to sign just at the moment!"

He was turning out to play cricket for the Derby County first team, having challenged a sportswriter's 11 to a game live on TV I think.

He had such presence that I can recall this meeting as if it was yesterday and not 40 years ago!
