Lee Chapman has compared his Leeds United title winning manager Howard Wilkinson with Brian Clough.
After four prolific seasons with Sheffield Wednesday, and a brief spell in France, Chapman was signed for Nottingham Forest by Brian Clough.
"Within a few months, we won the League Cup, the Simod Cup and finished third in the league," says Chapman, 61, to the Daily Mail.
"The contrast between Howard and Cloughie could not have been greater.
"Brian didn't really focus on training and it was all about motivation on a matchday.
"He was brilliant at that and he ruled by fear. He would do things you couldn't possibly get away with nowadays.
"Howard was meticulous and on a Friday you would practise set-pieces relentlessly, attacking and defending.
"We were ultra-prepared and worked on formation a lot too.
"Cloughie was off the cuff but Howard would study videos of our opponents in incredible detail and even give us dossiers on them. He was definitely ahead of his time."
