For nearly two decades they remained in a box, untouched and hidden away: part of a unique audio archive featuring the legendary Brian Clough. Now, for the first time, you can view the contents.

Since the fascinating content was originally recorded, author Marcus Alton has taken the lid off the cardboard box of tapes containing classic comments from Cloughie: “We treated European matches as a holiday. The beaches were beautiful, the food was delicious. Hey, to give them a break from me for two days was the biggest boost I could give them!”

The recordings range from his first full-length radio phone-in to rare audio features and interviews, including one recorded at his home alongside his European Cup winning captain.

Marcus has also dusted-off long-forgotten written articles and features which have been kept in his extensive archives for forty years. Together they form a fantastic collection, accompanied by memories of some of the key people involved.

Author:

Marcus Alton is a former BBC and commercial radio journalist who interviewed Cloughie several times and has previously written four books about him, all of which have become Amazon best sellers and raised money for good causes.

He is the founder and editor of the non profit tribute website brianclough.com and hosts the Green Jumper tribute podcast which has listeners in more than 70 countries. With the support of the Clough family, he was the driving force behind the fund-raising campaign for the Brian Clough statue in Nottingham.

Part of the proceeds of this book will help the types of good causes that Brian supported.
