Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2022
Craig Bromfield was just 13 years old when Brian Clough, on a whim, took him and his older brother, Aaron, in.
They came from Southwick, a depressed area of Sunderland, where they lived with their abusive stepfather, and from where they longed to escape. After initially meeting Clough while out begging for money, Clough later invited the brothers to stay at his house. From there a relationship formed that would see Craig living with the Cloughs for nine years, where he was a first-hand witness to the many aspects of Clough’s character—his gruffness, his humour, his big-heartedness.
This is a beautiful, inspirational story, which has never before been told, about Clough’s gentleness and capacity for generosity. Discover a very different side to this iconic man, one away from the cameras and the football, which shows him for the person he really was.
Critic Reviews
"One of the most incredible, emotional, feel-good stories you will ever read." (Daniel Taylor)
"Craig Bromfield’s love letter and apology, to the great football manager is an unexpected and moving delight." (Matt Dickinson, Times Chief Sports Writer)
"It's rare to hear anything new about someone like Brian Clough, one of football's true giants. Rarer still that it can make you laugh and cry in equal measure. Quite simply, it's an amazing story." (Jeff Brown, BBC Look North)
