Clough Stories - 'It All Changed'
Episode 92
Thursday, 26 June, 2025

"The thought we would ever win the league was absolutely beyond comprehension. So when Cloughie arrived in '75, it all changed."Paul Ellis has special memories of Brian Clough, including watching him play for Middlesbrough at Nottingham Forest's City Ground in the 1950's. Many years later, Paul became a focal point for the UK's media when they needed someone to speak to following the sad death of Brian in September 2004. Paul was the chairman of the Nottingham Forest Supporters Club and paid tribute to the Miracle Manager in countless interviews. In 2005, he became chairman of the Brian Clough Statue Fund in Nottingham. In this personal reflection with pod host Marcus Alton, Paul describes some of the behind-the-scenes work of the fundraisers and his pride when the stunning sculpture was unveiled by Mrs Clough. This episode also includes excerpts from one of the Green Jumper events in front of a live audience at a book festival.
