Curious about Clough, I did some reading a few years back and found this:
Justin Fashanu
which was instrumental in forming an opinion which has held good to this day.
Thereīs not much else around on the net so we have to rely on our personal remembrances but the guy came across then as a bully and a boor and what Peace writes in his book dovetails quite seamlessly into my own view of the guy.
His appointment at Leeds and his fixation with Don Revieīs record I donīt recognise but itīs a fact that Clough went to Leeds and for the first time he took up an appointment without Peter Taylor. That fact alone should be recognised when writing the manīs biography..
If itīs any consolation to the Clough groupies, I think the manīs record at Derby and Nottingham was brilliant but Clough is a man who had chips on both shoulders which would eventually reduce him to a minor personality in a small area of the UK with a few quotes in the footballers guide to the gob.
