Clough Stories - Nigel Jemson (1)

"It was my first interview on national television and the Gaffer grabbed my privates!"

Former striker Nigel Jemson soon became used to expecting the unexpected when working for Brian Clough.

There are many great stories in the first part of his chat with pod host Marcus Alton.

Jemson describes how he turned down Alex Ferguson in order to join Cloughie at Nottingham Forest. "He was just the type of manager I wanted to play for. His sides played football in the right way."

This episode also includes a discount code for 15% off Marcus' book, Brian Clough The Lost Tapes.
