That was before he publicly came out as gay.
Clough was obviously of a bigoted mindset otherwise he wouldn't have asked Fashanu why he went to gay bars.
In his autobiography, Clough recounts a verbal dressing-down he gave Fashanu after hearing rumours that he was going to gay bars. "'Where do you go if you want a loaf of bread?' I asked him. 'A baker's, I suppose.' 'Where do you go if you want a leg of lamb?' 'A butcher's.' 'So why do you keep going to that bloody poofs' club?"
Though he later regretted how he treated Fashanu.
