Hi louise yep I have that record, was actually in the trent end when the fans songs were recorded, can remember with the fondest of memories I great man, althro he was outspoken most of the time, he had the full respect of all his players, staff & the fans, not many men can say that they succeeded in clearing a pitch invasion singlehanded, he didnt suffer fools gladly. My heart goes out to his wife & family, I know how much losing someone so close can hurt, I lost my Grandma in June & still cry every day. Lets hope that the folk in power do something fitting for such a great man. R.I.P BRIAN. tHE WORLD OF FOOTIE HAS INDEED LOST ONE OF THE BEST. ps it was just 44 days at leeds, bet they're kicking themselves now along with the fa.

Proud to have been born in the same town as him - one of Middlesbrough's finest products - never mind the OBE (old big 'ed) he should have been knighted !!!!

Yes indeed. Joy

One of the greatest managers of all time. Shame he never got to manage England. RIP Brian.

Just seen this on the news, how sad..

Until very recently Brian Clough would spend many hours sat in his son's newsagents shop in West Bridgford, Nottingham - passing the time of day with all the customers - a quip and a joke at the ready! He will be missed by everyone here in Nottingham, football fan or not, for the character he was - larger than life. Condolences to his family at their sad loss. Jacqui

One of the game's great characters who talked a lot of sense. (Gemma, he was only at Leeds for six weeks - the players couldn't accept his form of discipline, so he resigned!)

My all time favourite football manager. Wish he had managed Spurs. Should have been England manager. Remembered with much affection. Jean x.

i saw a recorded interview with him,a few weeks back,and i could see by his eyes,that he was very sick. wot a great character,will be a loss,to his family,friends,and everyone in football..R.I.P. bryan.

how sad for his family Elaine x

What a character! I rember seeing him being interviewed once and he said something like, " . . . we all get together and discuss to problem in detail, then we do what I want to do". There's no answer to that ! ! !

poor old cloughy.was a great manager.will be sorely missed in the football world.R.I.Pxxxxxxx(:

One of Leeds United great managers. He will be sorely missed by all. My thoughts go out to his family.

just saw it on Y*hoo home page.

I'm not a footie fan at all, but I know that the world of football has lost a great character today.
