Brian Clough: football manager extraordinaire

Younger readers will have no idea what I am going on about here but please stay with me.

Yesterday I answered the phone to a young lady who wanted to speak to David Coleman. I said, 'That's a blast from the past. One of the most famous men ever to commentate on sport on the BBC.'

She replied that she had no idea who I was talking about and when I said it was a wrong number we both put the phone down. She doubtless told her colleagues that she'd just spoken to someone weird!!!

Anyway, Brian Clough is a hero of many older football fans in England because his record and his management style are both unsurpassed. So you might be interested to know that I just reviewed his autobiography http://www.duncanwil.co.uk/book_reviews/clo.html and then prepared this page: http://www.duncanwil.co.uk/cloughie.html which has just a few insights into Clough's management style that are very revealing I think.
