Cloughie - Walking on Water - My Life (Hardcover, New ed)

Brian Clough, arguably Britain's greatest ever football manager, died in September at the age of 69. His passing was marked by a minute's silence at both the Derby County and Nottingham Forest grounds and provoked a wave of tributes from across the sporting spectrum. A month after his death, a memorial service was due to be held at Derby Cathedral but it had to be moved to Pride Park to accommodate the fans' demand for tickets. This overwhelming affection was fully deserved for the man who was often described as being controversial, outspoken and opinionated. His achievements in football speak for themselves. He took two lowly Midlands sides to the very top, winning two consecutive European Cups, with unfashionable Nottingham Forest, in a feat that will surely never be matched by a club of similar stature. This special edition has been updated with two new chapters, written shortly before he died and offering his candid and entertaining views on club directors and chairmen, Newcastle's treatment of Sir Bobby Robson and his scathing analysis of England's recent performances. with alcohol and the liver transplant that give him 21 months of health and happiness.
