Episode description
Jimmy Gordon played a special role in Brian Clough's success. He was the first team trainer, coach and sometimes the Magic Sponge Man, a fans' favourite who would run onto the pitch to treat injured players.
In this entertaining pod, Jimmy's grandson Craig recalls some marvellous personal memories - including how Jimmy was often the perfect buffer between Cloughie and the players.
This episode also includes an excerpt from a live Green Jumper event.
