Stevenson, Jonathan (23 August 2004). "Wenger repeats Clough feat". BBC News . Retrieved 11 July 2009. My sometime colleagues from Nutmeg magazine have produced a beautiful, evocative, gritty love-letter to the Scottish game. Daniel’s poetic descriptions and Alan’s alluring photographs capture the attraction of football at all levels, but the book is especially affecting when they visit grounds where the players voices can be heard over the fans on the terracing.

Nottingham Forest honoured him by renaming the City Ground's largest stand, the Executive Stand, the Brian Clough Stand. Clough was made an inaugural inductee of the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his huge success and influence as a manager. In 1993, he was awarded the freedom of the city of Nottingham. [103] In 2003, the city of Derby followed suit. [104] He wrote a column for FourFourTwo magazine up until his death.

But before all that this is a story of hope where there had seemed to be none. A tale of two urchins, Craig only 11, asking for a penny for the Guy as Bonfire Night approached, only to stumble upon the Nottingham Forest team at their hotel preparing to face Newcastle. Finally, in 2001, he said: “I now accept the investigations have made me realise I was misinformed. I wasn't trying to be vindictive or unsympathetic, but my opinion has altered over the years. It was never my intention to hurt anyone.” The rift had not been repaired by the time Taylor died in October 1990, but Clough and his family attended Taylor's funeral. According to Taylor's daughter Wendy, Clough was "deeply upset" by Taylor's death and telephoned her when he heard the news. [94] Clough dedicated his autobiography in 1994 to Taylor, and he also paid tribute to him when he was given the freedom of Nottingham, as he did in September 1999 when a bust was unveiled of Clough at the City Ground.

Kevin, who was also employed by Simon, convinced him it was fine to take money, telling him they weren’t sufficiently well paid. The thing is, Craig says, he went short of nothing. “If I ever needed money, Brian would say, ‘Help yourself but don’t take more than 20 quid’, and I wouldn’t.” Equally, just consider the six teams in the hall of fame at the National Football Museum. Manchester United’s European Cup winners from 1968 are honoured, as are the Busby Babes of the 1950s. The Liverpool team of 1978 have been inducted, along with England’s 1966 World Cup winners, Preston’s Invincibles and the Manchester City side that won the league, the FA Cup and European Cup-Winners’ Cup from 1968 to 1970. Only teams that played over 25 years ago can be nominated. Aston Villa, European Cup winners in 1982, are the sixth and, in all those cases, nobody could possibly argue it was undeserved.

Thirty Years Ago – August 1972". Dspace.dial.pipex.com. 9 January 2005. Archived from the original on 18 April 2010 . Retrieved 29 August 2010. For the last three decades Brian Clough has been the most charismatic manager in football. Funny, outrageous, sentimental, he stands out sharply from the bland men in suits. Though his talent has earned him a fortune, he remains a working-class hero. As a player he was one of the most gifted forwards of his day. He scored 251 goals in 274 League appearances - and would have scored more had a cruel injury not forced him to retire.He would send newspaper cuttings of his success in Poland to the Clough family, perhaps in the hope that they would feel some pride and vindication in their decision. He was not so much proving them wrong but proving them right for giving him that chance. I started it 16 years ago, but could never finish it,” Craig says. “The final chapter was too difficult.” Gradually, as the story unfolds, I begin to realise why. As for Gillian, she forced Craig to commit fraud on her behalf – dropping him off at the post office so he could sign a false name on a stolen pension book and collect the money on behalf of his “auntie”. Jerry died 31 years ago, and today Craig is close to Gillian: “She’s a fighter, a survivor – she’s incredibly strong.” So, this apparently intelligent man of the people was blinded by the light of truth for 12 long years.
