Mark Crossley: 回想起在克拉夫手下效力的日子，那是我职业生涯中最好的学习经历。他不仅仅教我如何在球场上踢球，还教我如何为人处世，比如如何正确地握手，如何进行眼神交流，以及如何在与人交谈时不要把手放在口袋里。他总是强调团队的重要性，认为球队里最重要的人是那些负责后勤的人，比如球衣管理员和泡茶的师傅，而不是我们这些球员。克拉夫的战术非常简单，他总是告诉我们做好自己的本职工作。作为一名门将，我的任务就是阻止球进入球门。他不喜欢复杂的战术，如果我不能按照他的要求做好简单的事情，他就不会留我。克拉夫也会使用一些心理战术。如果球队输了球，他会严厉批评我们，但如果球队赢了球，他会给我们放假。他甚至会因为我回传失误而打我，或者因为我在比赛后和裁判握手而打我。尽管如此，我对克拉夫充满了热爱，他改变了我的人生。即使人们说克拉夫已经不行了，我们仍然进了两次杯赛决赛。他是一位伟大的教练，也是一位伟大的人。 Mark Crossley: 我还记得有一次，克拉夫让我签一份空白合同。当时我非常震惊，但我还是签了。后来我才知道，克拉夫是为了测试我对他的信任。他还送给我一辆车，但这辆车实际上是他女儿的，我每个月还要从工资里扣钱来支付车款。克拉夫的管理方式非常独特，但他总是能激励我们做到最好。他会用各种各样的方式来激励我们，比如用板球和帽子，或者让我们去他儿子的周日联赛球队踢球。他也会用一些奇怪的方式来惩罚我们，比如因为我胡子拉碴而把我送回家，或者因为我说错话而让我永远无法为一线队效力。克拉夫是一位非常严厉的教练，但他也是一位非常关心球员的教练。他总是尽力帮助我们，让我们成为更好的人和更好的球员。
