Tributes from family, friends, fans and former players. Compiled by the editor of brianclough.com, Marcus Alton. 

 

"A lovely tribute to Dad" -- Brian Clough's daughter, Elizabeth.

"Some of the most revealing and genuine tributes to the Great Man" -- Nottingham Forest matchday magazine.

"A must have for those of us who loved Brian Clough" -- Derby County Mad website.

"An absolute joy - a lovingly compiled book of encounters with the Great Man" -- Middlesbrough fanzine.

 

Brian Clough's family are among the many people who describe their personal memories of him in this unique collection of tributes.

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.

The book has memories from Brian's widow Barbara, his daughter Elizabeth and his brother and sister, Joe and Doreen. They give a rare insight into life with the Master Manager.

This collection of anecdotes and tributes includes contributions from fans, friends and former players. It has been compiled by the editor of this website, Marcus Alton, whose royalties have helped to raise hundreds of pounds for the Brian Clough Memorial Fund, which has been run by the Clough family for the types of good causes that Brian supported. Any further royalties will go to a charity that Brian and Barbara supported.

In the book, one of Cloughie's first signings at Hartlepool describes how he poured a bucket of water over the Master Manager - by accident! Terry Bell says he was planning to get his revenge on a team-mate who had cut the toes out of his socks - but the plan went wrong!

 

Marcus has been interviewed about the book on BBC Radio Nottingham and BBC Radio Derby. The book has also been serialised in the Nottingham Post newspaper and there was a special report in the Derby Evening Telegraph.

The fans' website, Derby County Mad, described it as a 'must have' for all Clough fans. It said: "There are 189 pages of pure enjoyment as the tributes and stories of meeting Brian Clough come thick and fast." The reviewer added that it was a book, "you will not want to put down."

The book - published by DB Publishing in October 2011 - is now sold-out at WH Smith, Waterstones and the Nottingham Forest Megastore, but you can still buy a signed copy on this website.
