Some brilliant stuff here...

Wasnt that story about brian deane
Basset told it at an after dinner thing in sheffield and some guy kicked off about it in the star the next day as racist

It was Francis. The Deane one was the one I mentioned earlier. It was Clive Betts that walked out and did the Star article.

Here's one from the maestro - Brian Clough.....Gave a league debut to 19 year old goalkeeper Mark Crossley against Liverpool, Forest won 2-1 & Crossley saved a penalty.

In the dressing room after the game an elated Crossley is told the following - "you young man, be at my house at 9am in the morning"

So next morning, Crossley who didn't drive at the time, has to get his dad to drop him off at BC's house for 9am.

Obviously, his first thoughts were a new contract, pay increase.....alas BC comes outside and says "you see all the dead leaves in my back garden, sweep them up and put them in these bin liners"

Man management - brilliant!
