    Clough Stories - The Ref

    "Brian would have a chat with us at half-time, not about the game, but we'd put the world to rights." Barrie Saunders would often referee matches involving Brian Clough's A-Team at Nottingham Forest, including first team players returning from injury. In this episode, Barrie recalls the impact Cloughie would have from his sheer presence on the touchline. "I was in awe of this incredible character, but it never affected by judgment as a referee," Barrie tells pod host Marcus Alton.

    Clough Stories - Hat-trick Hero

    This extended episode includes memories of Brian Clough as a centre-forward at Sunderland. There's also a chat with former Cloughie player Alan Hinton who recalls a special reunion. You'll also hear from the Ray Mundo Futbol podcast, following an interview with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton. Our thanks go to the Roker Report for introducing us to Jim Wales who remembers watching Cloughie at Sunderland. He was 15 when he went to Roker Park on his own for the first time - and he saw Brian score a hat-trick! Cloughie made his debut for Sunderland in August 1961 (joining from Middlesbrough) and scored 63 goals in 74 appearances (league and cup) for the club. He suffered a devastating knee injury against Bury on Boxing Day 1962. There are more memories, classic quotes and books/souvenirs (supporting good causes) at brianclough.com.

    Clough Stories - Neil Webb

    "He's absolutely teeming with talent. I'm just trying to teach him to tackle like Archie Gemmill now." Brian Clough was full of praise for his young midfielder Neil Webb back in the 1980s. In this fascinating conversation with pod host Marcus Alton, the former England international shares special memories of playing for the Miracle Manager. The stories include signing a blank contract ('Seriously, you want me to sign it and then I'm yours, regardless of what's on it?'), being dropped from the first team after volunteering to go in goal ('Working with the gaffer, I learned not to volunteer for anything') and Cloughie's last-ditch effort to keep the star midfielder when Man Utd came calling ('I was shocked to see him at the tribunal which set the transfer fee').

    When Neil Webb scored in a Wembley cup final to help secure his first major trophy in English football, Brian Clough ensured the young midfielder's family shared the celebrations in the dressing room. "He invited my dad and grandad into the dressing room, but my mum wasn't allowed in - he even apologised to her!" recalls Webb. "We all had a photo with the cup - he knew it meant that much to me. My mum still has that photo on the living room wall." That special memory is one of many Webb shares with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton in this trailer for the full interview.

    Clough Stories - Bryn Gunn (Part 2)

    "You didn't get a lot of praise, but when he said 'Well done, young Gunn,' that's all I needed to hear." In this second part of the conversation with pod host Marcus Alton, former Nottingham Forest defender Bryn Gunn recalls the life lessons he was taught by Brian Clough and what happened behind the scenes after the European Cup Final. There are also memories of the relaxing mid-season breaks in the Spanish sunshine. "We didn't train a lot and we didn't play a lot, but we drank a lot. I think you call it team-bonding."

    Clough Stories - Bryn Gunn (Part 1)

    As a teenager, defender Bryn Gunn was described by Brian Clough as 'a fine young left-back - an absolute natural.' In this conversation with one of Cloughie's European Cup winners, Bryn recalls working for the unpredictable manager at Nottingham Forest. The stories include being substituted at half-time after giving away a penalty in a friendly. "That's Cloughie - he never missed a trick," says Bryn. In Part One of Marcus Alton's conversation with Bryn, he also describes getting a telling-off from Clough after coming on as a substitute for the legendary winger John Robertson. "Robbo was the best player I ever played with," adds the former left-back. There are also memories of playing cricket with Clough and why that sport remains close to his heart.

    When Bryn Gunn received the 'thumbs-up' signal from Brian Clough, along with "Well done, young Gunn," he felt six-feet tall. In this trailer for the full interview, Bryn recalls working for the unpredictable Clough at Nottingham Forest, where the young defender was part of the European Cup winning side in 1980. Says Bryn: "Some people need wrapping up in cotton wool, some need a rollicking. But that's why he was so good. He knew what to do." During this entertaining chat with pod host Marcus Alton, you'll also hear what happened when the full-back gave away a penalty in a friendly match. "Cloughie doesn't miss a trick," recalls Bryn.
