Episode notes

"In my opinion, he was the best football manager since the war." Well, you can't argue with that!

Former Home Secretary and Chancellor Ken Clarke, now Lord Clarke of Nottingham, is the guest on this first episode of the new season.

There are some brilliant Cloughie stories, including what happened when Brian held protests outside Ken Clarke's constituency office. "I was trying to hold my regular surgery with constituents," says the former Rushcliffe MP.

Plus you'll hear how the former Home Secretary - and Forest supporter - helped Cloughie sign a foreign midfielder, after a standard Home Office letter told him to advertise the position in the local newspaper!

The pod host is Marcus Alton, the founder of the non profit tribute website brianclough.com, which helps to raise money for good causes and is celebrating its 21st anniversary.
