THE former Nottingham Forest manager, Brian Clough, is seriously ill in a private hospital, according to a newspaper report yesterday.
Clough, who won two European Cups while in charge at Nottingham, was admitted to the clinic suffering from a severe kidney condition after collapsing a week ago, the Sun claimed.
It said Clough is taking drugs as part of his treatment for alcohol related illness and depression. It also claimed he was admitted under the name Brian Gladstone and that staff were sworn to secrecy.
Clough, who also managed Derby County and had brief spells at Brighton and Leeds, retired from football three years ago.
