You think I'll listen to one of MCs stories on Brian Clough and you cannot help but listen to every story, and you're left in awe of just how incredible the bloke was, they'll never be another Brian Clough for eccentricity or sheer class, my team Mansfield is currently enjoying success with his 'chip off the old block' son Nigel and we're truly privileged because anybody who followed his Dad's ways can see his son has some of his football principles etc, and 'at the time of writing this' something good is happening because we're 17 matches unbeaten! Plus the whole town has a spring in its step.

I fucking love his Clough impressions, you can actually visualise Cloughy saying those things, just brilliant😂😂

I forgot to say in my last post. I was at the last game Brian ever managed. It was at my home town of Ipswich. It was a honour to be there, to pay homage to a true legend of the beautiful game. When the great man came onto the pitch, everyone stood and gave a standing ovation. One of my greatest memories. RIP Cloughie.

I was there too. As a fellow Ipswich supporter, I can add that not only did the whole ground give him a standing ovation, but we also sang his name. To which I believe Cloughie called us mad! 😂😂 A true legend.

What a guy Norm is. His first team that his Dad founded is still going strong, now a big grassroots club called Hoyland Common Falcons and a feeder club for Barnsley FC. As a coach there myself he still continues to lend his support to things and speaks fondly of where it all began. See you at our end of season presentation Norm, the lads will be buzzing.

Where the Dell once stood in Southampton there is a short “no through road” called Mark Crossley Way. I think it was named in honour of Mark being the only keeper to stop a Matt Le Tissier penalty.

I'm not a Forrest fan but cloghie was a legend up there with all the greats, a one off, mark crossley is a great story teller ,great interview

Nice interview Shithouse. You'll forever be one of our greatest keepers and, a great story teller

Mark, like many of us in our working life just want to be respected & appreciated by the manager or company we work for. David Platt was a novice at management & especially man management, he was the wrong fit & I believe he didn’t understand what Forest were about. I am so pleased we’ve got Steve Cooper because he has encapsulated & revived the true ethos embedded in Nottingham Forest football club. Thanks Mark for all you’ve helped Forest achieve, you were very much appreciated by the masses.

I love listening to Mark talk about his career and Brian Clough! A time gone by all too quick…..thanks for posting and good luck to Mark!

Mark thank you so much for sharing your experience & memories with us👍👍👍👍

Back in the 90s I had trial at Luton, Mark was on lone, what a true gent he was, Bonetti ( The Cat ) was in charge of us keepers, he was such a lovely lovely man to speak to, I must say tho that I was 28 or 29 then, I was with St Albans at the time, even Bonetti said I was Fitter than Mark, but unfortunately not match fit as it turned out. I had only recently come back back from America. It was a real privilege to train with these guys, I'm sure Mark won't remember our chat, but he was a larger than life hero ! Lovely to hear his comments of Brian and how he went about his business. Happy memories of football and glad I was there on the day.

I met Mark once, after a match, he was a fantastic player for Forest and a really nice guy but, for some reason, Beasant was preferred at the time. I really hoped Mark would get back in and think it’s such a shame he fell out of favour. Still a Forest favourite.

It’s clear to see that mark loved Brian and Brian was fond of him tho old big ead would never say it!! Everton fan but huge respect for forest and the city of Nottingham they sorted me a kidney in the city hospital, brilliant work chippers

The blank contract thing was a two way trust exercise. If you signed it and got treated well, you knew you could trust Cloughie. Also, Cloughie knew you trusted him so he would feel comfortable trusting you.
