I'm not looking for a cheap Happy Birthday...


...but I've been watching this DVD about Brian Clough today, and it gradually dawned on me that I'm now the same age God was when he gave the interview on the You Tube link (that's God as in Clough, not Revie. Or, indeed, Austin flaming Mitchell.).
That puts a perspective on things - he was dead almost exactly thirty years later.
Hey ho, it's the big one this time next year. I won't be shouting about that, let me tell you.

Clough injured



Spooky. I wonder if this is the great man commenting on the impending releaser of The Damned United from the grave? I doubt it, I don't believe in sprits and spookiness.


In that filmed report there's a shot of the statue with a chain around its neck and a hood over the head, looking like he's about to be hanged. I wonder if Don Revie's family had anything to do with its removal.
