Clough Stories - Frank Clark (trailer)

"My first meeting with Brian Clough was a fiasco," recalls Frank Clark, speaking exclusively on the Green Jumper pod. "My car broke down in the Tyne Tunnel and I was two hours late. Fortunately he waited for me!"

After that difficult start, Frank went on to enjoy the best years of his career with Cloughie, after being given a free transfer by Newcastle. He went on to win a host of trophies including two European Cups.

This entertaining chat with pod host Marcus Alton is a trailer for the forthcoming full interview.
