It was in the unforgiving world of post-war football where his identity and reputation was made - a world where, as Clough's mentor Harry Storer once said, 'Nobody ever says thank you.'\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNonetheless, Clough brought the gleam of silverware to the depressed East Midlands of the 1970s. Initial triumph at Derby was followed by a sudden departure and a traumatic 44 days at Leeds. By the end of a frazzled 1974, Clough was set up for life financially, but also hardened to the realities of football. By the time he was at Forest, Clough's mask was almost permanently donned: a persona based on brashness and conflict. Drink fuelled the controversies and the colourful character; it heightened the razor-sharp wit and was a salve for the highs of football that never lasted long enough, and for the lows that inevitably followed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilson's account is the definitive portrait of this complex and enduring man, whose legacy in football remains untouched to the present day.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41859985211525,"sku":"PR434607","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TTGAM3RZTNZO.jpg?v=1789116115","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/brian-clough-nobody-ever-says-thank-you","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
