"A tremendous collection of memories and anecdotes, all very different, yet moving and interesting - a lovely tribute to Dad." (Brian Clough's daughter, Elizabeth)" --Elizabeth Clough
Product Description
Brian Clough's family are among the many people who describe their personal memories of the charismatic football manager in this unique collection of tributes. Brian's widow, Barbara, and their daughter Elizabeth have provided a rare insight into life with the man known as the Master Manager. Barbara recalls how they met in Middlesbrough and how his tremendous generosity remains one of her over-riding memories of her husband. Elizabeth's memories include travelling in her Dad's car listening to Frank Sinatra songs. Brian's brother Joe and sister Doreen also recount their memories in this book compiled by journalist and author Marcus Alton, who is the editor of the tribute website, brianclough.com. This collection of anecdotes and tributes includes contributions from fans, friends and former players, collected by Marcus since he set-up the non-profit-making website over 10 years ago. Those who worked closely with Old Big 'Ead describe memorable times in his company - including the TV producer who captured unique footage of Cloughie in his back garden as he sang a surprise tribute to his old friend and commentator, Brian Moore. There is no doubt that an encounter with Cloughie was usually unforgettable - as this book illustrates. Just ask the fan whose car broke down on the A52 (now Brian Clough Way) only to hear a knock on his window and an offer of help from - yes, you guessed it. A former player describes for the first time how he threw a bucket of water over Cloughie by accident. You can guess the result! Marcus Alton's royalties from this book are going to the Brian Clough Memorial Fund, which is run by the Clough family and gives money to the types of good causes that Brian supported. Fans may think they have heard all there is to know about Cloughie. But this book has many untold stories and tributes, demonstrating how he touched so many lives and won admirers around the world.

What a fab book!
Brian Clough touched so many people's lives and made such a huge impact on those who came into contact with him that it's great to read about that however small or insignificant.
There are some quotes from ex players, backroom staff & journalists but it's mainly the general public.
A must read for any BC fan
