Don't want to piss on your chips but it's also bullshit. According to the fella whose house it supposedly took place in anyway.
Dean Saunders and Brian Clough – a story that went viral but doesn’t finish there | Daniel Taylor
The former Derby striker seems to have put a meeting with Nottingham Forest’s manager in 1991 to discuss a British record transfer through a very imaginative scriptwriter

I remember him being pulled up on it by Colin Murray on his show about it when they were on talkshite.
Nonetheless it's a funny tale.

My next door neighbour and his brother spent an afternoon on the lash with Saunders during the Euros a few years back. Said the **** never shut up for 2 hours until the bill came when he tried sloping off as if he was doing them a favour. No way was that happening to two Yorkshiremen!
I've got a Clough story, and it's true. 13 April 1992, United Reserves v Forest Reserves in the Central League. I was fourth official. United had beaten Forest the day before to win the League Cup for the first time.
My wife and sister were waiting for me after the game, near the players entrance say Old Trafford. Clough was on the Forest coach, waiting for the rest of his players. He asked my wife and sister what they were waiting for. They told him. He gave them both a chocolate bar from a tub full of them. He was still drunk from the day before.

Funny story surprisingly well told but the thing that doesn't sound true is the fake laughter in the background.

In the words of Alan Partridge, “that’s more of an incident than an anecdote.”
