Albion 2 Bristol Rovers 8. I was there - and I've still got the programme to prove it! We were struggling when Clough arrived, but there were some decent players in that team. Wthin days, Cloun had reduced them all to wobbling jellies, looking too scared to even step on the the pitch, let alone...

No, more a laughing stock. Taylor, Mullery and Bamber (and, to be fair, Barry Lloyd, who got us to a play-off final) delayed the derision for a while. Clough's impact was at best a nine days wonder.

Taylor yes, not Clough. Clough the beginning of where we are today? B****cks! Bamber maybe, but considering where we were in 1997 and 1998 I would put 'the beginning of where we are today' several years after the Bamber era. The best thing Clough ever did for Brighton was joining Leeds.

Strange really - although I obviously had no first hand experience, nor any real evidence, that - and most of what was in that linked article - is exactly what I thought at the time.
