Characters like Cloughie will inevitably attract many stories some of which are bound to be apocryphal.
I know Saunders is not much liked on here, nevertheless it was a wonderful story which you just wished was true. Saunders told it brilliantly too. Seems a better storyteller than he was a manager! I think the gist of it might have some truth, but like all good storytellers he exaggerated it for effect.
What is probably true is that Clough, always eccentric and unpredictable, sometimes behaved ever more bizarrely as he got older and the drink took effect. For example, there was the bizarre story that he was found unconscious in a ditch towards the end of his life.

Yes, I'd certainly heard the ditch one. I can add a (true) Clough story from a mate. He was driving through Derby (Allestree, IIRC) early one morning and an old man waved him down with a walking stick. He pulled over, and to his astonishment Brian Clough asked him for a lift to the off-license, where much booze was purchased. It was the morning of a big match on TV, which they discussed. I know Clough did give up the sauce in the end.
Yeah, I know, cool story bro etc, or whatever dickheads reply.

Ah didn?t realise it was for the Trust. Seems a risky take.
Many clubs have an agreement to allow their ground to be used for minimal cost for a charity game.
I?ve worked on loads - always a decent way to get a taste for interns etc.
I did SoccerAid years ago. The players obviously get paid a fair whack for that (in my day they were on something like ?50k (that?s one of the fees back then I heard of). Obviously that sells out a stadium though.
I did a YouTuber thing at Wembley (EE Cup I think it was)- sold 50,000 tickets - Ferdinand and Gerard played but were pretty much ignored by the crowd as they were there to see YouTubers and gamers etc!

50k? For appearing in a charity match? I thought they might get a couple of grand and a nice hotel etc but at 50k that seems a daft waste of money by the charity. Surely most of the 'celebs' would play for much less.

It was enlightening to listen to Barry Fry cropping up on both Sacked in the Morning and Quickly Kevin recently. I like the bloke but one 'interview' was a carbon copy of the other. The presenters had clearly been sent a set of questions so as he could follow his script. I wouldn't mind betting that he does after-dinner speeches with the same content.

Ultimately, people of low calibre like Saun**rs will lie to keep themselves vaguely relevant so as they can earn money.

First I've heard of it, which doesn't say much for its publicity.

Just checked the official site and there is a brief article, scant on any details, and the mugshots of several men, two of whom I think I recognise from Eastenders years ago. No clue about the rest.
