A brilliant insight into Brian Clough. I can’t comprehend the research that must have gone into writing it. I love this era and I love hearing stories from football in the 70s, 80s and 90s. What an inspiring and interesting man Brian was. I’m sad the book is over, as I really enjoyed reading it.

Incredible look at the life of Brian Clough and simply can’t imagine any book covering this topic better.
If ever there was an autobiography that I sensed may be one sided, Brian Clough’s might be it so I actively sought out a biography and I felt this biography absolutely offered the balance I was hoping for.
Well researched indeed and superbly written. I’m particularly glad there was no lingering, running commentaries of games played 40 years ago that take up three or four pages which seem so common in football books. This was right to the information you are likely looking for about such an incredibly unique character in the game. The best book I’ve read in a long time.
