get these quotes on Clough's management from Keane

"Brian Clough's advice to me before most games was: 'you get it, you pass it to another player in a red shirt'. That's really all I've tried to do at Forest and United ? pass and move ? and I've made a career out of it."

Keane scored three goals during a run to the 1991 FA Cup Final, which Forest ultimately lost to Tottenham Hotspur. In the third round, however, he made a costly error against Crystal Palace, gifting a goal to the opposition and costing his side a victory. On returning to the dressing room after the game, Clough punched Keane in the face in anger, knocking him to the floor.[6] Despite this incident, Keane bore no hard feelings against his manager, later claiming that he sympathised with Clough due to the pressures of management[
