Episode description

European Cup winner Martin O'Neill talks candidly about life working with Brian Clough.

"We were looking for that approval from him. It was as if he was the Godfather of football," says O'Neill, who also talks about his disagreements with Cloughie.

Looking back, he accepts that team-mate John Robertson was right to advise him not to argue with the Reds boss.

"I have been known to answer back even when I know I'm not right - you can ask my family!" jokes O'Neill in this fascinating chat with pod host Marcus Alton.

You can also read a review of O'Neill's brilliant book 'On Days Like These - My Life in Football' (published by Pan Macmillan) on the tribute site brianclough.com.
