My favourite Clough story was Proc's, after being dropped.

Plucked up the courage to knock on his door and ask "Gaffer, why have I been put in the second team?"

"Cos you're too f'kin good for the third team son."

When Cloughie was manager of 'Pool I once got in a 'behind closed doors' game v Stan Anderson's Boro at Hutton Road training ground. I was stood on the touchline near Cloughie and tho I was used to swearing I'd never heard anyone swear so much in my life and stll haven't to this day

It's the "what's your name son?" that gets me.

Such a straightforward way of asserting your authority on a situation. Might try it at work

What a man, what a man manager, what a character and yes he was better than Shankly

Did he confirm this story from Norman Crossley. I liked Currie, one of my favourite players (after Heine ofcourse) in those dark days and was genuinely disappointed when we let him go to Darlo.....he was capable of the sublime (goal v Newcastle) and ridiculous (miss v Carlisle)
