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.''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57576632025470,"sku":"NW9781399625623","price":13.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781399625623.jpg?v=1783228311","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/brian-clough-nobody-ever-says-thank-you","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
