“Brian Clough and Nottingham Forest did things that history can never delete.” Those words came from the coaching legend known as Jose Mourinho, describing the work of Brian Clough, his staff, and his players during a magical run of domination through English and European football. Clough earned a place in football lore as he turned a club that was, by all accounts, rather ordinary into a football powerhouse. He did this in an era where football was different and so was life.
