About this Quote

In this quote, Brian Clough is talking about a young seafarer's look and his absence of focus on the video game. He describes the seaman as good-looking, but also slams him for investing too much time appreciating himself in the mirror rather of paying attention to the ball. Clough suggests that the seafarer's vanity is hindering his capability to carry out well as a goalkeeper. He suggests that having well-groomed hair is not a priority when it pertains to playing a sport which the seaman requires to shift his focus from his appearance to the video game at hand.
