Hahaha ... my BIL is one of those Forest fan, still in worship of Mr Clough.
But in their dormant state, he's now turned to following LFC foortunes ... after I converted his young son to think the world of Liverpool FC since he was 3. 
That's becoz the great divide in terms of wealth in English football can never be the same again ... back then, there's no such thing as global marketing.

Actually, I am of the opinion that his style is just pure British bravery, diving in where it hurts ... another even better player at this comes to mind: Mark Hateley. Not much to shout about back in England, but suddenly elevated to world-class after joining AC Milan together with Ray Wilkins. Another one of those rare gentlemenly MU player I respected.
