In this first full, critical biography, Jonathan Wilson draws an intimate & powerful portrait of one of England's greatest football managers, Brian Clough, & his right-hand man, Peter Taylor. It was in the unforgiving world of post-war football where their identities & reputations were made
- a world where, as Clough & Taylor's mentor Harry Storer once said, ' Nobody ever says thank you.' Nonetheless, Clough brought the gleam of silverware to the depressed East Midlands of the 1970s. Initial triumph at Derby was followed by a sudden departure & a traumatic 44 days at Leeds. By the end of a frazzled 1974, Clough was set up for life financially, but also hardened to the realities of football. By the time he was at Forest, Clough's mask was almost permanently donned: a persona based on brashness & conflict. Drink fuelled the controversies & the colourful character; it heightened the razor-sharp wit & was a salve for the highs of football that never lasted long enough, & for the lows that inevitably followed. Wilson's account is the definitive portrait of this complex & enduring man.
