To win the European cup with forest once was unbelievable but to retain it the following year was simply unreal with a club of that size... outstanding manager one of the very best in English football history

A few years later he went on to win the league and 2 European Cups....what a manager!!!

Greatest ever Brian Clough quote when asked about the stress of football management. "Wat stress? Stress is having to come home and tell your wife you've been made redundant, you can't pay the mortgage and you don't know how you are going to put food on the table. That's stress". What a man

Everyone's gotta love Cloughie - he shoots right from the hip, no bullshit allowed.

An amazing man. We'll never see his like again.

The greatest Clough moment i ever saw was the press conference when Trevor Francis signed for Forest. Friday night, Francis just signed, the press are interviewing him. Clough and Taylor are sitting in on it. Francis is answering all the press questions then one guy asks, “Trevor, when do you think you'll play your first game for Nottingham Forest?” Quick as a flash, before Francis could answer, Cloughie immediatlely says, “When i pick 'im!”

This is why Brian Clough will always be a hero to me. His honesty, passion, devotion, openness & his overall philosophy on life. Sadly missed R.I.P.

Could listen to him all day 😂

The GOAT. LEGEND. A Unique Man whom was One of a Kind.

RIP SIR BRIAN

Brilliance personified! One of Middlesbrough's greatest sons...

Spoken to a couple of people who knew him as they were friends of his kids. A very kind and caring man. What he achieved at Forest was fantastic.

Very special man, met him a few times in my local village in Nottm where his brother lived, always had time to talk to you, no one like him then or now

He was such a handsome guy, he had incredibly kind eyes.

His lasting memory will be two stars on the NF shirt. The accolades in the City ground are there for everyone to see. I had my first visit last season, you can still feel his and Peter Taylors presence.

So good....They named the road from Nottingham to Derby after him.....Brian Clough Way.

Seriously I could listen to this man (Clough) talk for weeks and I'd never tire of hearing what he had to say. Brilliant man. We'll never see the likes again.

I could listen to Clough for hours, but Frost was a brilliant interviewer too. He just listened and let people talk.

Clough is known for being arrogant, but it’s a deserved arrogance, but he was also a kind, humble and very gracious man. I sat next to him at the infamous coffee cup Derby vs Forest game in Mar 2004. My fella got some extra good tickets off an exec friend of his, the whole time I was awe struck, not daring to speak! I never said a word to him, which I deeply regret. He looked so poorly, but he was there with his grand kids and I didn’t want to bother him.

We need people like Brian Clough not just in football but in life . Legend of a person

Middlesbrough born and bred on a council estate, Boro boy done good. R.I.P Brian Clough from Valley Road in the Boro.
