Brian Clough And Peter Taylor

[Duncan Mckenzie]

A Stuart Pearce story about Brian Clough:

Celebrities often used to pop into the dressing room after a match.

At Watford when Elton John was chairman he would always pop in.

After one particular game Clough had gone to have a bath and was all lathered and oiled up when Elton came in.

Ronnie Fenton (Clough's assistant) shouted to Cloughie that Elton was here and wanted to say hello and Cloughie bellowed back 'tell the big fat poof I'll be out in a couple of minutes'.

All the players were rolling around the floor laughing and to be fair Elton saw the funny side also.

Classic Brian  :D
