 Rating:  - A good readA good read. Wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but makes you realise what went on behind the scenes. Rating: - The legend will live onBoxing Day 1962 was the day the most prolific scorer this country has ever produced received an injury that was to finish his playing career. A late friend of mine was there that day at Gigg Lane Bury and he said it was a very sad day. However, with hindsight one wonders if Cloughies misfortune was the key to making him possibly the greatest manager ever by turning around not one but two clubs in turmoil. From the moment he began Managing Hartlepool to his last fateful match in charge of Notts Forest he was a man driven to be the best. It is all here in a great read although I must say I found the earlier Autobiography funnier with a lot of quips and comments. The man was a master and you have to remember he would not tolerate his players abusing ...

However, he was one of the most outspoken men in football, and often misunderstood. In this book, his second attempt at an autobiography, he set out to put the record straight about his life and career. From his early upbringing in working-class Middlesbrough, through his first games for local side Billingham Synthonia, and on to the European nights with Forest and Derby, the football (naturally) takes centre stage. However, it also shows Cloughy as a family man, a side which rarely came out during his various media appearances, and shows much of the more personal ... Read More: Rating: - PURE GENIUSThis a superb story of Working Class Boy made good. It is a real page turner from start to finish, and I was unable to put it down. Cloughie is as forthright as ever....but that's why we love him. A must for all Football Fans. Rating: - A right to be arrogantFrom his humble upbringing, an unbelievable scoring record as a player only cut short by injury, early managerial frustrations, clashes with interfering chairmen, turning water into wine (metaphorically) at Derby County and Nottingham Forest, the finest England manager the country never had. This man may at times have been accused of some degree of arrogance, but he spoke the truth, spoke his mind whether people wanted to hear it or not and had a track record to back up his opinion. If you enjoy a good football autobiography buy this one you won't be disappointed. |
