Hilarious Brian Clough and Dean Saunders story

One thing that’s true about that story is his agent, Kevin Mason, looked uncannily like Robbie Coltrane.

Actually knew Mason around twenty years ago. He looked after Saunders, Brian Deane, Tommy Johnson, Dalian Atkinson, Nigel Jemson and quite a few others of a similar ilk from that era. No superstars, but plenty of decent talent.

He was a liar, a bully and hugely unpredictable. He also ended up going bankrupt. How the fuck does a football agent go bankrupt?

A very strange man.

Yes, and I have a true story about that. Back in the 70's we were due to play Forest away in the FAC but it was called off at about 1pm due to a waterlogged pitch. 3 car loads of us drove down from Manchester to meet up with a fellow Blue who lived in Nottingham. None of us had the radio on so we didn't find out about the postponement until we rocked up at the pub when our mate told us the match was off. No mobile phones in those days. Next morning our mate calls in at the newsagent (as he did every Sunday) & tells Cloughie about it and that it was poor form to call it off so late, when loads of Blues were already in Nottingham. Cloughie agreed with him and said to pass on his sincere apologies to us. He also said that he hoped we would have a safe trip down for the replay on the Wednesday. He added that he hoped we would enjoy the game...........but not too much.
Needless to say we got beat in the replay.
