	Brian Clough :: Soccerphile

		Clough's journey from a poor Middlesbrough childhood to the top of his trade and beyond ended on the 20th of September 2004.

	Telegraph \| News \| Brian Clough
		Brian Clough, who has died aged 69, was one of Britain's most effective, charismatic and idiosyncratic football managers; he was often called "the greatest manager England never had".

		Nigel Howard Clough (born 19 March 1966, Sunderland) is a former English footballer and the current player-manager of Burton Albion.
		Clough senior retired as manager while Clough junior was sold to Liverpool in a £2.75 million deal, but the evergreen form of veteran striker Ian Rush and the emergence of the brilliant Robbie Fowler saw Clough struggle to hold down a first-team place at Anfield.

		Brian Clough was pure entertainment, from the football teams he sent out on Saturday afternoons and in mid-week European matches, to the comments he provided on television and in the press.
		Brian Clough showed the world what ordinary people can achieve - and some of those players were ordinary - when they they are motivated to believe in themselves and to work for each other.
		Brian Clough was the greatest man ever involved in football and i'm sure there aren't many out there who would disagree with me. My thoughts are with Brian's family at this very sad time and i will never forget what this great man did for Forest and football in general.

		When Brian Clough and Peter Taylor arrived at Derby in 1967 the club was languishing in the lower reaches of the Second Division and could have had no idea about the glories it would enjoy under the pair.

		Clough and Taylor always believed they could have brought the kind of league domination Liverpool enjoyed in the 70s to Derby, but it was not to be.
