If you've not heard this before, it's well worth a listen. Great story, superbly told. Dean Saunders telling the story of when Cloughie tried to sign him.

Any minute now someone will put the original thread about this on here.
Still very funny, shame it ridicules the legend that is Cloughie.

Only the names and the facts have been changed...
This is one of Saunders's after-dinner anecdotes he does on the circuit, and I think it later emerged that he's taken more than a bit of 'artistic licence' with it. Pretty sad, using a legendary name who'd been broken by his descent into alcoholism in order to generate a few cheap laughs.

Yeah, I'd imagine Clough's family find this fabrication hilarious.

The best analysis of that clip is by Clough's biographer here:
