brian clough story - 100% true
forest v arsenal 1979 with the great pat jennings in goal
first half pat gets a dart - yes an actual dart thrown at him from the forest fans behind the goal
sticks in his forearm - pat just pulls it out and carries on after getting some medical treatment - a swab or two on his arm
at half time the arsenal manager was terry neill and his number 2 don howe - esp donn howe goes ballistic into the forests dressing room and confronts the team + cloughie
nothing happens for 3 weeks after the match till.......
cloughie sends pat jennings a handwritten letter and is went along the lines of - dear pat you thoroughly deserved that dart as when you come our ground you bloody well stop everything else we throw at you - love Brian
pure gold from the great man
