thought he was a fantastic player, I'd ask him to get his boots on and have a go up front with winnall. Can't think of another striker who played a similar style to him other than him being original Messi ☺ Sent from my Hudl HT7S3 using Tapatalk
I thought there was one, which was about the fact that Currie was actually signed by Ronnie Fenton and not by Cloughie. I thought that I read the story on this board, because I can't think where else I would have done. Currie turned up for training on his first day and Cloughie said, "Who the f... are you?" to which Currie replied, "I'm your new striker, boss." Clough then replied, "No you're not. You're crap." Sometime later Currie told Clough, "I am buying a house in Nottingham, boss," to which Cloughie replied, "I shouldn't bother, because you're not staying." Allegedly!!!! He was quickly loaned out to Oldham Athletic, so there seems to be some truth in the basis of the story. Sorry if I have stolen someone's tale, but I am sure I read it first on here.
I have a bit of a cloughie story. Many years ago me and my mate's used to occasionally nip down to oakwell to watch a midweek reserve game, when we had school holidays. This particular game we went and sat at the back of the terrace seating, which was our only seating at the time. In front of us in the 2nd row was a tracksuited guy, with his feet on the chair in front, flanked by 2 very burly guys. One of my mate's was adamant it was cloughie, for which he received much **** taking. Curiosity got the better of us though and one of the lads went down the gangway along the front row in front of him, then came bounding back up saying it was definately him. Another mate did the same thing, then i did, and, it was him. Then another mate went to do it. This time though as he went past him, one of his feet, erm accidentally slipped of the chair and booted him straight up the arse nearly knocking him over the front wall. Looking back now my mate was lucky he didnt fly over the wall to the stand below but at the time it was funny as ****. We were asked to move not long after by one of his henchmen, a request we duly obliged to. Not quite the same as asking david currie about clough but though id share. Appologies if i have wasted yer time
