It was in the unforgiving world of post-war football where his identity and reputation was made - a world where, as Cloughs mentor Harry Storer once said, Nobody ever says thank you.Nonetheless, Clough brought the gleam of silverware to the depressed East Midlands of the 1970s. Initial triumph at Derby was followed by a sudden departure and a traumatic 44 days at Leeds. By the end of a frazzled 1974, Clough was set up for life financially, but also hardened to the realities of football. By the time he was at Forest, Cloughs mask was almost permanently donned: a persona based on brashness and conflict. Drink fuelled the controversies and the colourful character; it heightened the razor-sharp wit and was a salve for the highs of football that never lasted long enough, and for the lows that inevitably followed. Wilsons account is the definitive portrait of this complex and enduring man, whose legacy in football remains untouched to the present day.

But what an enigma. -- Simon Redfearn * Independent *In separating the man from the myth, Jonathan Wilsons biography of Brian Clough is the first to do him justice... What Wilson does give us is a methodical, non-hysterical, beautifully detailed Clough; a perfectly crafted mixer to go with the heady, emotive, intoxicated Cloughernalia of recent years. -- Barney Ronay * The Guardian *Reading of Clough and Taylors achievements with Derby and Nottingham Forest isnt the same as living through that time, but overall, Wilson does a dam fine job of it. -- Bobby McMahon * Forbes *Theres no question, Wilsons done a hell of a job. Look no further for this years must-have Christmas book. * Nottingham Forest News *A comprehensive new biography. * Sport Magazine *The definitive tome, a massive undertaking that charts his entire life rather than snippets of his career. -- Ben East * Metro *Painstakingly researched, its a hugely intimate portrait, with the mental impact of his ruined carer providing most intrigue. * FourFourTwo *Wilsons book covers 30 years of Cloughies grandest deeds, and yet perhaps the most interesting thing about Clough is how his legend endures to this day. -- Tristan Freeman * Sunday Express *Wilson has made his reputation as a highly original football writer with a series of books displaying a healthy, and rare, obsession with tactics. His Clough book benefits from this unusual approach. -- Mark Perryman * Morning Star *Wilson superbly gets to the heart of what made the former Nottingham Forest boss tick and gives a real insight into how he proved to be so successful...this book chronicles the life of a truly extraordinary character with a style that keeps you engrossed for every single page. -- Gareth Maher * Irish Daily Mail *(This) meaty one-volume biography of Clough will be probably as close to definitive as anyone ever gets... in this compelling book. -- Liam Mackey * Irish Examiner *Jonathan Wilsons book on old big ead is the most complete and in depth to date...Wilsons book is beyond compare. * Choice Magazine *Jonathan Wilsons mighty new biography... is a 565-page opus. -- Harry Pearson * When Saturday Comes * Details ISBN1399625624 Author Jonathan Wilson Publisher Orion Publishing Co Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781399625623 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-08-08 Imprint Seven Dials Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General UK Release Date 2024-08-08 NZ Release Date 2024-11-11 ISBN-10 1399625624 AU Release Date 2024-11-11 Pages 592 DEWEY 796.334092 Subtitle The Biography.
