While Billy Davies calls for calm heads, much of the attention this week has been focused on Sir Brian, what with the release of “The Damned United” and ITV’s “Clough” documentary.
He may not have chosen to go for a drink with him, but John McGovern unsurprisingly has fond memories of working with the great man at four different clubs. As well as being virtuous, Sir Brian was also more intelligent than his public persona suggested, but still a control freak (all of these rather contradictory articles came from the same newspaper, the Daily Telegraph!).
Elsewhere, Peter Shilton, the man who provided the bedrock of Clough’s European Champions has been forgotten, due to the furore over David Beckham’s outfield caps record.
Back to the here and now, little Robbie Earnshaw contemplated quitting international football after being dropped via television, and Billy Davies says that he is enjoying the battle against relegation. I am glad you are Billy, because it becomes harder every week for me!
