Rob pays tribute to the legendary English football manager, Brian Clough. Rob reflects on Clough's upbringing in a working-class family, his incredible goal-scoring record as a player, and his subsequent rise to become one of the greatest football managers in history. Rob delves into Clough's successful principles, such as his emphasis on recruiting good players and his belief in the importance of the spine of a team. He also explores Clough's challenges, including his infamous 44 days at Leeds United and his struggles with alcohol. Through personal anecdotes and insights from Clough's autobiography, Riles provides listeners with a deeper understanding of the enigmatic and influential figure that was Brian Clough.

• Clough believed in recruiting good players and letting them play, emphasizing the importance of having talented individuals in the team.

• He had a strong partnership with Peter Taylor, who complemented Clough's strengths and weaknesses, leading to their success as a managerial duo.
