It's criminal he was never given the England job, in my opinion the best English manager that's ever lived. R.I.P

Just a few Clough quotes
THE SAYINGS OF BRIAN CLOUGH
Brian Clough was never short of a word or two to say during and after his colourful career.
Here we look at some of his memorable sayings.
On the importance of passing to feet: "If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there."
On the influx of foreign players in the British game: "I can't even spell spaghetti never mind talk Italian. How could I tell an Italian to get the ball? He might grab mine."
On the number of French players at Arsenal: "I bet their dressing room will smell of garlic rather than liniment over the next few months"
On how he rated himself: "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."
Explaining his nickname: "On occasions I have been big-headed. I think most people are when they get in the limelight. I call myself Big Head just to remind myself not to be."
On Martin O'Neill: "If he'd been English or Swedish, he'd have walked the England job."
On the streaker who appeared during a Derby game against Manchester United: "The Derby players have seen more of his balls than the one they're meant to be playing with."
On dealing with Roy Keane: "I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard."
On his drinking: "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. They are absolutely right."
On dealing with a player who disagrees: "We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right."
On not getting the England manager's job: "I'm sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job, I'd want to run the show. They were shrewd, because that's exactly what I would have done."
On too many managers getting the sack: "If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well."
Referring to Sir Alex Ferguson's failure to win two successive European Cups: "For all his horses, knighthoods and championships, he hasn't got two of what I've got. And I don't mean balls!"
On women's football: "I like my women to be feminine, not sliding into tackles and covered in mud."
On then England goalkeeper David Seaman: "That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror, rather than at the ball. You can't keep goal with hair like that."
On the late Peter Taylor: "I've missed him. He used to make me laugh. He was the best diffuser of a situation I have ever known. I hope he's all right."
On Eric Cantona's infamous kung fu kick at a fan: "I'd have cut his balls off."
On how he would like to be remembered: "I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed - I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me."
What a legend, words cannot describe how legendary this man is.
