Beyond England |
|
Clough's fame in football was only
compounded by TV appearances, his forthright views expressed with a ring
of complete honesty. Only
ill-health ended his football career, announcing his retirement on 26
April 1993. Although he did consider applying for the vacant Wolverhampton
Wanderers FC position in October 1995, but nothing materialised. -
