  • The entirety of Clough's speech to the Leeds United board upon his appointment as manager:
    Clough: Of course it's just about me and Don. Always has been. But instead of putting frowns on your foreheads, you elders of Leeds in your blazers and your brass fucking buttons, it should put big white Colgate smiles on your big white faces. Because it means I won't eat, and won't sleep until I've taken whatever that man's achieved, and beaten it. Beaten it so I never have to hear the name Don-fucking-Revie again. Beat it so the only name anyone sings in the Yorkshire ale houses, raising their stinking jars to their stinking mouths, is Brian Clough. Brian Clough uber-fucking-alles. Understand?
  • The apology that Peter Taylor demands from Brian Clough. "Unreservedly".
