Love the story about the time his defender smacked his head in the last couple of minutes. The physio told Cloughy he was concussed and that he had to come off cos he didn't even know his own known name so Cloughy told the physio to tell the lad that his name was Pele and get up front!!!
Clough's methods were unique. He was essentially a dictator, and not always a benevolent one. "Have you ever been punched in the stomach, young man?" he once asked a centre-forward, Nigel Jenson, in the dressing room. When the answer was no, Clough suited the action to the word, remarking, "Well, now you have."
