    A friend who doesn't follow footie is convinced she has heard a story about Brian Clough 'stopping the rain'. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Here's what she typed...

    "forest were playing a game and it was pouring with rain, fans were asking Cloughy to stop it, he came off the managers bench, waved his arms and rain stopped, huge cheers. No one seems to remember this"

    Anyone help?

    Wouldn't this question be better asked on their board?

    Oops, just had a glance on there, and I can see why you're asking it on here!

    We have a few regulars on here so I thought this a more likely source of info. Maybe one of our own might have heard the parable too?
