  • Clough Stories - Neil Webb (trailer)
    Mar 31 2026

    When Neil Webb scored in a Wembley cup final to help secure his first major trophy in English football, Brian Clough ensured the young midfielder's family shared the celebrations in the dressing room.

    "He invited my dad and grandad into the dressing room, but my mum wasn't allowed in - he even apologised to her!" recalls Webb. "We all had a photo with the cup - he knew it meant that much to me. My mum still has that photo on the living room wall."

    That special memory is one of many Webb shares with Green Jumper host Marcus Alton in this trailer for the full interview.

    As a teenager, defender Bryn Gunn was described by Brian Clough as 'a fine young left-back - an absolute natural.' In this conversation with one of Cloughie's European Cup winners, Bryn recalls working for the unpredictable manager at Nottingham Forest.

    The stories include being substituted at half-time after giving away a penalty in a friendly. "That's Cloughie - he never missed a trick," says Bryn.

  • Remembering Robbo
    Jan 8 2026

    A special tribute to John Robertson, the man Brian Clough described as an artist with the ball at his feet - the Picasso of our game.

    This episode includes an exclusive interview with John's friend and former Nottingham Evening Post journalist John Lawson, who highlighted Robbo's skills to Cloughie in the early days at Nottingham Forest.

    Robertson never forgot John's help in putting-in a good word for him with Brian Clough and when the time came to write his own autobiography, he asked John to help him. The result was the brilliant 'Supertramp' - the title being a reference to Clough's tongue-in-cheek descriptions of Robbo's appearance.

    Whatever Clough said about how John dressed and disliked shaving, the Miracle Manager knew that his left-winger was a genius who could perform on any stage in the world.

    "No other player has given me more pleasure than watching John Robertson," says John Lawson, who recalls how Robbo thought his career was going nowhere - until the arrival of Brian Clough.

    In this episode, you'll also hear host Marcus Alton pay tribute to his boyhood hero.
