Clough Stories - Gary Newbon

When TV sports presenter Gary Newbon suffered a stroke, he received a special ‘Get Well’ message - a handwritten note from Brian Clough and his wife Barbara.

Their close working relationship went back as far as Cloughie’s days at Derby and continued throughout his time with Nottingham Forest.

Brian always remained loyal to Newbon, ensuring he got the interviews he needed - even when it was straight after a 4-0 defeat.

Newbon paved the way for the instant post-match TV interviews that we take for granted these days. His new book looks back at an amazing career spanning 50 years.

In this fascinating chat with pod host Marcus Alton, Gary explains the impact Clough had on his career and why he’ll always be grateful for the support of the Miracle Manager.
