About this deal

a b Stewart, Rob (27 March 2009). "Brian Clough: a man not afraid to make enemies". The Daily Telegraph. Archived from the original on 11 January 2022 . Retrieved 15 April 2019. The two men shared a philosophy of football that placed an emphasis on offensive play and swift, incisive passing. They also favoured developing a strong sense of camaraderie and a sense of family among the athletes. Both of them were passionate about developing new potential and thought that young players might become elite athletes. It ends on a poignant note. Taylor rejects the suggestion that he and Clough might ever work together again, but he softens at the prospect of reclaiming their friendship. “Life’s too short to say no to that…” Forest sues Anderlecht over '84 bribery scandal".

Peter Taylor and Brian Clough are frequently recognised as the finest managerial duo in English football history. Together, they had exceptional success with Derby County and Nottingham Forest, taking home numerous national and international championships.

For many weeks now I don't believe I've been doing justice to the partnership and I certainly haven't been doing justice to Nottingham Forest the way I felt. And consequently after a great deal of thought, there was no option. I wanted to take an early retirement. That's exactly what I've done."

Clough played for Great Broughton Juniors and, while working for ICI, Billingham Synthonia (scoring three goals in four games [16]) before his national service in the RAF between 1953 and 1955. He combined playing football in the forces, though he was never selected for the RAF National team, [17] and playing for the Boro third team when on leave.

The rift had not been repaired by the time Taylor died in October 1990, but Clough and his family attended Taylor's funeral. According to Taylor's daughter Wendy, Clough was "deeply upset" by Taylor's death and telephoned her when he heard the news. [94] Clough dedicated his autobiography in 1994 to Taylor, and he also paid tribute to him when he was given the freedom of Nottingham, as he did in September 1999 when a bust was unveiled of Clough at the City Ground.

In April 1987, Martin Tyler conducted an interview with Taylor in which, tentatively, he asked about his falling out with Clough. The clip can still be found on YouTube and it remains oddly fascinating.

On 4 April 1959, Clough married Barbara Glasgow in Middlesbrough. He later said that marrying Barbara was "the best thing I ever did". They went on to have three children: Simon, born on 15 June 1964, Nigel, born on 19 March 1966, and Elizabeth, born on 31 May 1967. Nigel also became a professional footballer and played under his father at Forest in the 1980s and 1990s. He then moved into management and, in January 2009, followed in his father's footsteps when he was appointed manager of Derby County. [110] Clough was still a popular choice to be given the job of England manager before Graham Taylor's appointment in 1990. [84] Clough himself quipped: "I'm sure the England selectors thought, if they took me on and gave me the job, I'd want to run the show. They were shrewd because that's exactly what I would have done." [85] He has been called the "greatest manager England never had." [7] In 1977, Clough was reportedly interested in the Everton manager's job, but Gordon Lee was appointed instead. [86] Forest's application was rejected to join the Football League at its formation in 1888. Forest instead joined the Football Alliance in 1889. They won the competition in 1892 before then entering the Football League. [1] That season they reached and lost in an FA Cup semi final for the fourth time to date. This time it was to West Bromwich Albion after a replay.When they were both playing for Middlesbrough FC in the middle of the 1950s, Brian Clough and Peter Taylor first crossed paths. Clough played as a striker, and Taylor as a winger. They bonded instantly and spent a lot of time talking about football, getting to know each other’s perspectives on the sport. Clough’s role in that success is inarguable and the anecdotes of the time have been repeated so often that they remain imprinted on the game’s soul. Taylor’s contribution isn’t hard to spot, though. Four of the 11 players who started the 1979 European Cup final – Larry Lloyd, Kenny Burns, Gary Birtles and Peter Shilton – had been signed on his recommendation. Burns, of course, was an unlikely reclamation project: signed as a brutish centre-forward from Birmingham, he would become a cultured, secure centre-half under Taylor’s direction. Gordon retired at the same time as Taylor left, which coincided with a time usually characterised as Forest’s relative wilderness years under Clough in the early and mid-80s, even though this is often overplayed. After all, in the two seasons following the two men leaving, Forest finished fifth and third and were beaten in the Uefa Cup semi-final by an Anderlecht team who were later discovered to have bribed the referee. Still, the European Cup-winning sides, including McGovern, Robertson et al were dismantled too early, as both Clough and Taylor would later admit, but perhaps more importantly for Clough his two lieutenants were gone – Taylor the man who could spot players, Gordon keeping everything moving. In the men such as Ron Fenton, Archie Gemmill and Alan Hill, Clough had a solid set of deputies for his remaining years, but they couldn’t match the perfect blend he had before.

Clough was born on 21 March 1935 at 11 Valley Road, an inter-war council house in Grove Hill, Middlesbrough, North Riding of Yorkshire, [8] He was the sixth of nine children of a local sweet shop worker, later sugar boiler and then manager. The eldest, Elizabeth, died on 11 February 1927 [9] of septicaemia at the age of three. [10] When talking of his childhood he said he "adored it in all its aspects. If anyone should be grateful for their upbringing, for their mam and dad, I'm that person. I was the kid who came from a little part of paradise." On his upbringing in Middlesbrough, Clough claimed that it was "not the most well-appointed place in the world, but to me it was heaven". "Everything I have done, everything I've achieved, everything that I can think of that has directed and affected my life – apart from the drink – stemmed from my childhood.
