Product Description

This is the story of the heady days when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor brought about a revolution at Derby County in the late 1960s and early '70s - transforming them from Second Division strugglers to First Division champions - from the unique perspective of close friend, confidant and local journalist George Edwards. Loaded with great anecdotes about Clough and Taylor that will not be found anywhere else, this book captures the thrills of the journey from cautious optimism to almost permanent jubilation as Derby became awash with football fever.

Customer Reviews

Not Clough
Found this a poor read. The book is excellently written but my expectations of the content based on the book title were sadly disappointed. Too much of the book is autobiographical, anecdotes of athletics and journalism. Some chapters make no reference to Clough or Taylor. The Rams march to their historic league title is dealt with in summary form. In comparison to Peace'e "Damned Utd" or Hamilton's "Provided You Don't Kiss Me" I found this lacking in insight reagding Clough. Far from being an inside story, it features many tales all too familiar to followers of English football in the 70's and 80's
