Brian clough goals per game

He was single-minded, sure-footed and self-confident. But second-tier league matches were different from international football, as Clough found out. But at the time he hoped Wembley would inspire and that he could reveal some of the ability which got him selected, and which almost took him to Sweden the previous summer for the World Cup. This is the official programme for England's clash with Sweden at Wembley in October Sweden had reached the final then, losing to Brazil, so they were an accomplished team.

England discovered this when they were down with 15 minutes left. Charlton made it and then Clough had a chance to get the equaliser. I was always ready for that kind of thing. I saw mistakes before they happened. But this time everything happened very quickly. I was on to it and hit an instant shot. I can still see that ball hitting the bar. If it had gone in, perhaps history would have told a different story. It was a significant defeat for England.

After the landmark loss to Hungary in , this was only the second time a continental team had won on English soil. Manager Walter Winterbottom was trying to emulate the Hungarians by picking a young England side who could mature for the World Cup. For that purpose, he had chosen the same XI who had drawn with Wales, but a rare experiment in long-term thinking was short-lived.

Clough and two others never played for England again. But he may have learned a lesson he took into management about a team requiring a blend of players, not just the most gifted.

They demanded that privilege back after the Sweden defeat, but Greaves stayed in the side. He played in the and World Cups and made his last England appearance in May He led Derby to promotion, then to the league title. He may have made a few mistakes along the way, but not many.
