Clough

The legendary Brian Clough always had an interesting way of looking at things, and his view of long-ball football was no different.

He says the first game he went to at Portman Road in the mid-80s was against Brian Clough's Forest.

Ipswich won 1-0 and his abiding memory is of walking out of Portman Road afterwards and seeing the Forest team bus with Clough, in his green jumper, sitting in the front seat with a face like thunder.

My son is the assistant manager of my Fantasy team - I am Brian Clough, and he is Peter Taylor - and he told me to get Amad Diallo in this week.

The club have not featured in European competition since 1995-96 during Frank Clark's reign, while earlier this month marked the 50th anniversary of Brian Clough's appointment - their springboard to fondly remembered glory days at home and on the continent.
