To others mainly his targets he was a bolshy northern gobshite. Never less than opinionated, often controversial and always eloquent, here we present Brian Clough, in his very own words On himself: I wouldnt say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one. On Roy Keane: I only ever hit Roy once. He got up, so I couldnt have hit him very hard. On the FA: Im sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job Id want to run the show. They were shrewd, because thats exactly what I would have done. On being nominated for a knighthood: I thought it was my next door neighbour, because she thought if I got something like that, Id have to move. On handling players: We talk about it for twenty minutes and then we decide I was right. On drink: Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. Duncan Hamilton is the author of the acclaimed Provided You Dont Kiss Me: 20 Years with Brian Clough, for which he won the William Hill Sports Book of Year Award in 2007.
