Clough played for non-league side Billingham Synthonia as a teenager and then joined Middlesbrough in 1955 after his national service. He was an instant hit with the Second Division side, netting 40 goals in 44 games in his first full season and going on to score 204 times in 222 games over six campaigns in total. Italian model's outrageous CR7 cla...
After coaching Sunderland's youth team, Clough was appointed manager of Hartlepools (now Hartlepool) United in October 1965. He was the youngest manager in the Football League at age 30 and asked Taylor, then managing non-league Burton Albion, to be his assistant. The job was an unenviable one - Hartlepools had finished in the bottom two of the Fou...
It was at Hartlepools that Clough discovered John McGovern who, along with goalkeeper Les Green, he brought with him to Derby. Clough and Taylor spent their first season at the club rebuilding but went on to win the Second Division title in 1968-69, going 22 matches unbeaten. After fourth and ninth-placed finishes in the First Division, Derby won t...
As only Clough could do, he decided his next challenge after winning the title would be to go down to the Third Division to manage Brighton. He ended up spending just one season on the south coast and was not particularly successful, aside from ensuring his struggling side stayed clear of relegation. Clough and Taylor did, however, strike up a very...
Clough's appointment as Leeds manager was shocking given the comments he had made about the team, who he regarded as cheats. Don Revie had won two First Division titles and the FA Cup with the Whites, and Clough had developed a deep disdain for his success and style of play. Revie left Leeds to become England manager but Clough, without Taylor, str...
With his reputation having taken a hit, Clough was back down in Division Two for his next job at Nottingham Forest. Eighteen months later, after a mid-table finish in his first full season at the helm, he would be reunited with Taylor. The results were remarkable. Taylor had brought in some of the players who would eventually help Brighton from the...
Having initially parted on good terms, Clough and Taylor fell out over the deal that saw Robertson leave Forest to join Derby during Taylor's brief stint as manager. They never spoke again after that, and when Taylor passed on October 4, 1990 at age 62, Clough is said to have immediately put the phone down upon hearing the news and broken down into...
Clough has been the subject of a number of books, perhaps the most famous of which is The Damned United , published in 2006 by David Peace. It is a biographical novel about Clough's time at Leeds United that is described by Peace as "fiction based on fact", and the creative liberties taken upset both Clough's family and some of the players involved...

It was unveiled by his widow Barbara in front of around 4,000 people and was paid for by the Brian Clough State Fund, a group of volunteers who raised nearly £70,000.

On his time at Nottingham Forest:"The River Trent is lovely. I know, because I have walked on it for 18 years." "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes." "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business, but I was in the top one." "Rome wasn't built in a ...
