Clough Stories - Franz Carr (trailer)

"He knew when to put players in the team and when to take them out. He was a genius at that. He was a psychologist and a mentor."

Brian Clough signed speedy winger Franz Carr when he was just 17. Carr became a key part of Clough's re-built Nottingham Forest sides that achieved huge success in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

In this fascinating interview with Marcus Alton from brianclough.com, Carr recalls those magical times and enjoys reflecting on some archive newspaper reports he'd not seen before - including special praise from Cloughie himself.

This is a trailer for the full forthcoming interview.
