    Clough:

    “I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.”

    On disagreements with players: “We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right.”

    This one from Peter Crouch made me smile...

    Interviewer - What do you think you'd be if you weren't a footballer?

    Crouch - A virgin.

    My favourite book was "Successful Defending The Mike Smith Way". I first came across it in the library shortly after our 7-2 defeat at Brentford.
    A couple of quotes of his " We went a goal down due to an error by the pitch".

    Programme notes "We have been giving away too many early goals. That will stop as from now". Next home game's programme notes " "It was an uphill struggle at Blackpool last week after falling behind after 2 minutes".

    Another couple from Shankly

    Aim for the Sky
    And you'll reach the ceiling
    Aim for the ceiling
    And you'll stay on the floor

    A lot of football success is in the mind
    You must believe you are the best
    And then make sure that you are.

    Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job.

    A few more Shanklyisms;

    'Of course I didn't take my wife to see Rochdale as an anniversary present. It was her birthday amd would I have got married during the football season? Anyway, it was Rochdale reserves.'

    'Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.'

    Another Clough classic but it wasn't a quote as such. BC " When my grandchildren chastise me about my lack of education I put my 2 European cup medals , my 2 league title medals along with my league cup winners medals down on the table , there my O levels & A levels , I have a table full of em "
