The wit and wisdom of Brian Clough (R.I.P.)On player disputes at Derby: I'd have him into my office; he'd have his say, I'd have mine, we'd talk about it for 20 minutes before deciding I was right
On drink: Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. They are absolutely right
On the beautiful game: If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there
On coaching: Coaching is for kids. If a player can't trap a ball and pass it by the time he's in the team, he shouldn't be there in the first place. I told Roy McFarland to go and get his bloody hair cut - that's coaching at this level
Reflecting on his success: I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one
On Victoria Beckham: Who the hell wants fourteen pairs of shoes when you go on holiday? I haven't had fourteen pairs in my life
On dealing with Roy Keane: I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard
On the Hillsborough disaster during the Forest v Liverpool FA Cup semi-final: We thought we were ninety minutes from Wembley. It turned out we were five minutes from hell
On the appointment of Sven Goran Eriksson as England manager: At last England have appointed a manager who speaks English better than the players
On Sir Alex Ferguson and the European Cup: For all his horses, knighthoods and championships, he hasn't got two of what I've got. And I don't mean balls!
On relegation: If the BBC ran a crap decision of the month competition, on Match of the Day, I'd walk it
On being offered the Wales manager's job: I can't promise to give the team talk in Welsh but from now on I shall be taking my holidays in Porthcawl and I bought a complete set of Harry Secombe albums
