He was a legend Hugs and should have been made manager of the England team, but like you say, he was too controversial in his time, especially when he was younger.

He’d show the pansies playing football today and the managers, a thing or too.
Remember when he signed the first million pound player Trevor Francis and had him sweeping the dressing rooms out to bring him down a “peg or too” after Francis had made the mistake of giving Cloughie some verbal back.
Now they are all over-paid madonna's and if you didn't perform, then Cloughie wouldn't have stood any bull shite from any of them
