This is brilliant, it is Dean Saunders explaining how Brian Clough tried to sell him the benefits of joining Nottingham Forest.

I found the story quite amusing in some ways, but also quite sad, as it was evident from the tale Saunders told, however affectionate it may have been meant, the extent to which Clough's alcoholism had taken hold by that point for him to behave in the way that he did.

That is quite extraordinary. It certainly was the era of the cult of personality, but the question for me is to what extent does this sort of thing happen today? The antics of Clough, and in other walks of life the untrammeled excesses of Robert Maxwell, Jimmy Savile, etc etc seem unthinkable now. But in recent times we have Philip Greene, and back to footy, Mourinho at Chelsea last season . . . .human beings do seem to love and tolerate an egomaniac machiavellian psychopath . . . .
Choked on my tea!

More the decision of the board than Barry Lloyd I think.
But yes that's a wonderful story. I'm just surprised that it hasn't surfaced before. Maybe Dean was just keeping it quiet for some reason.

Saunders was probably the best free transfer in and the worst sale we ever made. Great story though
