PROFILE
Son of Brian, Nigel Clough arrived at Anfield in the summer of 1993 from Nottingham
Forest for 2 million pounds and was seen by Graeme Souness as the ideal partner for Ian
Rush.
Clough had matured into a fine player at Nottingham Forest and was seen as the
perfect Liverpool player because he could pass the ball, had a good footballing brain and
could score goals. He was unfairly dubbed the 'new Kenny Dalglish', even inherited the
famous number seven shirt, and expectations of him on the Kop were high.
He made a sensational start to his Reds career when he bagged a brace on his
Liverpool debut in a 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Anfield. His first goal was a
spectacular effort drilled into the roof of the net. He scored in his next game in a 3-1
win at Queens Park Rangers and added another in his second game at Anfield, although
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur.
After a below par performance in the 2-0 defeat by Everton at Goodison Park, Clough
lost his place in the side to an up and coming striker by the name of Robbie Fowler.
Clough then settled into a midfield role and it was in that role that he enjoyed
probably his best moment in a Red jersey, scoring twice to help Liverpool come from 3-0
down to draw 3-3 with Manchester United at Anfield in January 1994.
When Roy Evans took over as Liverpool manager Clough found himself restricted to a
bit part role and after becoming a regular substitute he eventually moved on to Manchester
City.
There is no doubt that Liverpool fans didn't see the best of Nigel Clough Nigel
Clough had something of an unfortunate time at Anfield. When he arrived Graeme Souness
declared the capture as the perfect partner for Ian Rush but he was a victim of
circumstances with Fowler making his breakthrough, and it would be fair to say Reds fans
didn't really see the best of Clough. |
