Brian Clough

Cloughy was always one of my favourite managers. Read the book - which I thought was one of the better football autobiographies I've read - having seen The Damned United, the film about Clough's time as manager at Leeds.

One of the better sporting autobiographies, young man. Not necessarily a classic but well worth the read for any football fan.

I enjoyed this at the time and Cloughs personality does shine through in its text, especially its continual reference to his goalscoring record. A man globally renouned and from the same town as me as well. I couldnt help thinking there was pieces of his career conveniently missed out, ie his falling out with Peter Taylor and well documented drinking habits.
