  • Clough Stories - Hat-trick Hero
    May 20 2026

    This extended episode includes memories of Brian Clough as a centre-forward at Sunderland. There's also a chat with former Cloughie player Alan Hinton who recalls a special reunion. You'll also hear from the Ray Mundo Futbol podcast, following an interview with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton.

    Our thanks go to the Roker Report for introducing us to Jim Wales who remembers watching Cloughie at Sunderland. He was 15 when he went to Roker Park on his own for the first time - and he saw Brian score a hat-trick!

    Cloughie made his debut for Sunderland in August 1961 (joining from Middlesbrough) and scored 63 goals in 74 appearances (league and cup) for the club. He suffered a devastating knee injury against Bury on Boxing Day 1962.

    There are more memories, classic quotes and books/souvenirs (supporting good causes) at brianclough.com.

  • Clough Stories - Neil Webb
    Apr 23 2026

    "He's absolutely teeming with talent. I'm just trying to teach him to tackle like Archie Gemmill now." Brian Clough was full of praise for his young midfielder Neil Webb back in the 1980s.

    In this fascinating conversation with pod host Marcus Alton, the former England international shares special memories of playing for the Miracle Manager.

    The stories include signing a blank contract ('Seriously, you want me to sign it and then I'm yours, regardless of what's on it?'), being dropped from the first team after volunteering to go in goal ('Working with the gaffer, I learned not to volunteer for anything') and Cloughie's last-ditch effort to keep the star midfielder when Man Utd came calling ('I was shocked to see him at the tribunal which set the transfer fee').

  • Clough Stories - Neil Webb (trailer)
    Mar 31 2026

    When Neil Webb scored in a Wembley cup final to help secure his first major trophy in English football, Brian Clough ensured the young midfielder's family shared the celebrations in the dressing room.

    "He invited my dad and grandad into the dressing room, but my mum wasn't allowed in - he even apologised to her!" recalls Webb. "We all had a photo with the cup - he knew it meant that much to me. My mum still has that photo on the living room wall."

    That special memory is one of many Webb shares with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton in this trailer for the full interview.
