Be Good, Love Brian: Growing Up with Brian Clough by Craig Bromfield |
The loudmouth football manager might not be everyone's idea of an interesting subject, but this is a remarkable story. Eleven years old, the author encountered the famous Clough by chance on a beach. Clough recognised that this undernourished kid from a dysfunctional, criminal family needed setting on a better path and responded with unsuspected depths of kindness and humanity, displayed in his unique style. What followed was extraordinary, moving, sad and, in total, uplifting.
