Brian Clough Player Quotations

Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.

The ugliest player I ever signed was Kenny Burns.

If a player is not interfering with play then he shouldn't be on the pitch.

If any one of my players isn’t interfering with play, they’re not getting paid.

If I had an argument with a player we would sit down for twenty minutes, talk about it and then decide I was right!

I gave my players a version of the same message at ten-to-three every Saturday: 'I would shoot my granny right now for three points this afternoon.' They knew how important it was to give everything in the cause of victory. Every time. That's why my granny enjoyed more lives than my cat.
