Clough Stories - Des Walker (trailer)

In a rare interview, former England international Des Walker recalls the charisma of Brian Clough. "He was a genius who kept things simple," says Walker, who was usually referred to as 'Desmond.'

"Yes, that's what he used to say," adds Des. "Like calling Teddy Sheringham 'Edward.' It was a bit like your mum scolding you. But I got used to him pretty quickly and I got comfortable around him."

Des talks openly to Green Jumper host Marcus Alton. There are many more great Cloughie memories in this trailer for a forthcoming episode.
