Bobby Beasley was a champion jockey, a trait that ran in this famous racing family. By age 26, he had won a Cheltenham Gold Cup (1959), a Champion Hurdle (1960) & a Grand National (1961). He was destined for racing greatness. But when he was 24, Bobby took his first drink & soon succumbed to alcoholism. He abandoned his glittering career but turned a corner after his friend Nicky Rackard urged him to attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Five years later, aged 38, Beasley rode Captain Christy to an amazing victory at the Cheltenham Gold Cup. The horse was a headstrong brute, transformed by Pat Taaffe into one of the most exciting talents in jump racing. Still a novice in the 1974 Gold Cup, Captain Christy made a bad mistake at the last fence but Beasley, a dynamic & natural rider, kept his nerve to drive his horse past the previous year's winner, The Dikler. That ride by Beasley is ranked as one of the finest in racing history. Years later Beasley observed: ' Christy gave me back my self-respect. He made a huge difference to my life & was a hell of a horse.' After retiring in 1975, Beasley ran a pub for eight years & then worked in a vineyard in Kent. In the history of unlikely comebacks, that of Irish jockey Bobby Beasley is the most heartwarming
- & unlikely
- of them all.

Nottingham Forest are one of the oldest football clubs in the world & undeniably the Brian Clough era stands out like a shimmering jewel.

The 60s brought sustained status with Johnny Careys team finishing as championship runners-up to Manchester United, but the early 1970s brought relegation
- & then came Clough. Such was the scope of Forests transformation that they regained the top flight in 1977, lifted the League title a year later & then followed up with the little matter of winning the European Cup in 1979 & 1980.

The heroes of the rarified time
- John Robertson, Viv Anderson, Martin ONeill, Peter Shilton et al
- march across these pages in all their glory as the Clough years stretch to 1993, bringing retirement for the turbulent boss & demotion for his team.

Since then there have been varying fortunes, but here the whole riveting story is brought to life through the magnificent Daily Mirror pictorial archive, from which countless gems have been unearthed.
