Episode description
"And when the thunder roared, was it God or was it Brian?"
Those words on a stormy night in October 2004 were part of the introduction to the memorial service for Brian Clough.
Derby Cathedral wasn't big enough for the thousands of fans who wanted to remember Cloughie - so they gathered in the type of place he was treated as a God: a football stadium.
The man who spoke those opening words was Nicholas Henshall, from Derby Cathedral.
He's Marcus Alton's guest in this special episode which looks back at the service - which united rival fans - and remembers some of the tributes paid to a remarkable man.
