Tony Woodcock

Tony Woodcock is one of Brian Clough's Miracle Men. In this exclusive chat with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton, he shares some special memories of the Master Manager.

He recalls:

  • Being thrown out of Cloughie's office.
  • Getting his big break into the Nottingham Forest first team.
  • Cloughie's advice before a crucial game.
  • How Brian tried to persuade him to stay.

Plus lots more: including a new documentary featuring the story of how he and team-mates Garry Birtles and Viv Anderson rose from humble Nottinghamshire roots to become European champions. Look out for that programme on streaming service 360 Sports TV.

The Green Jumper pod is hosted by author Marcus Alton from www.brianclough.com and has been downloaded in more than sixty countries.
