Brian for me was absolutely sensational.
He would be the first to say that he was the greatest of all time. But he was like England's version of Muhammad Ali.
He had fantastic charisma, unbelievable charisma. Outwardly he had this fantastic self-belief and self-confidence but in truth I think sometimes he was as vulnerable as all of us.
There have been some brilliant managers but Brian Clough (and not forgetting Peter Taylor) achieved it at two clubs which were totally provincial, not very big and not very fashionable, yet he went on to win two European Cups.
As far as I'm concerned he is definitely the best there has ever been.
