Both briiliant players but two very different types of player.
For me Clough just shades it plus he did it for Forest over a much longer period than Stan.
For me Stan had everything, there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Stan was awesome but I don't think he could pick a pass like Nigel could, then again Stan could turn and run with the ball better than Nigel.
Both fantastic. It's a very close call but it's Nigel for me. Just.
Nigel had a better football brain and had less physical attributes than Stan. Despite that, Nigel defied time and space to be as good as he was for the Silver Generation.
For a variety of reasons, I'd have Nigel ahead of Stan. More than anything, Nigel summed up the 'Forest way.'
That said, if Clough had signed Collymore during that relegation season, we'd have had them both playing in the same team. And that would have been something to behold.

Might even have stayed up.
They would have stayed up.
I remember the 'end game' season very well. Forest did everything 'but score.' They needed something different. Stan would have given them that. Something more 'physical.'
