| John McGovern was one of Brian Clough's favourite players. Cloughie signed the Scottish midfielder at Hartlepool, Derby County, Leeds United and Forest, and he was made captain at each club. He was not only Forest's captain but also the linchpin in the team. He would tidy things up in midfield and lay the ball off to the 'magicians' in the side, such as John Robertson. John remains the only captain of a British side to win the European Cup in two consecutive seasons – convincing testimony of his abilities as a team leader. As an after dinner speaker John has a wealth of Brian Clough anecdotes to liven up any evening and also delivers tremendous motivational speeches at business training and team building events. |
