Clough Stories - Madrid Magic

Brian Clough took his players away for a break in the Spanish sunshine in preparation for Nottingham Forest's second successive European Cup Final, in May 1980. "It was absolute genius," said Gary Mills, who became the youngest player to appear in a European Cup Final.

This episode looks back at that magical time with exclusive contributions from several former Clough players, including John Robertson, Ian Bowyer, Martin O'Neill and the man nicknamed 'Young Millsy.'

Robertson talks to pod host Marcus Alton about his winning goal against German side Hamburg in Madrid, while O'Neill describes a special moment involving Cloughie at half-time.
