Clough Stories - I'm Sorry, Vicar

It's a church service that the hundreds of people in the congregation will never forget - thanks to the unpredictable Brian Clough. The fantastic story behind this event is told by Malcolm Bramley, who was with Brian on the day of the sportsman service.

This is Part Two of Malcom's entertaining chat with Marcus Alton (Part One was episode 94: 'Call Me Mr Clough').

Malcolm worked closely with Brian for several years and has some wonderful memories of the Miracle Manager, including witnessing one of Cloughie's unique team-talks before a match and accompanying him on a trip to make one of his famous signings.
