Good book - By: , 02 Oct 2004 
Good book. The only thing I've read that impressed me more was The System by Roy Valentine. I got it here at amazon. You have to read this book.
Not To Be Missed. - By: , 09 Jul 2004 Quite simply this is the best book I have ever read. How anyone can slate this book (as a previous reviewer has) is beyond me. Whatever your opinion of Cloughie, you can't deny he's a character.
Anyone who has the slightest interest in footballl or comedy, because I feel this is a very funny book, cannot afford not to read it!

If you expect a Clough autobiography to be opinionated you will not be disappointed. Clough sums up his career & philosophy well & with humour. As a player & a manager he always had supreme belief in himself & that attitude comes across well in this book. He pulls no punches when he talks about the "cheats" at Leeds, his assessment of John Robertson is spot-on, he describes his parting with Peter Taylor honestly & takes you on up to relegation & his retiring.
I'm a Forest supporter so whilst I never expected not to enjoy this book I still found it hard to put down. Brian Clough IS a footballl genius. Forest & Derby fans know it. Once you've read this you'll be in no doubt that Brian Clough knows it too.
Up there with the greats, the man and the book- that is. - By: , 05 Apr 2001 As a younger reader I was interseted to find out how good Cloughie was as a player, & he doesn't mind telling you. Ol' big 'ead lives up to his name but there is no way you can argue the facts.
Nobody can & probably never will be able to say that they were as good at what they did in footballl as this man. Classic stories of the partnership he had with Peter Taylor, his initial summary of John Robertson, & his descriptions of 'hairy arsed' defenders & alike create brilliant humour mixed up with his strong views toward directors & the way in which clubs should be run contrive to make a book of excellent reading.
A ver dissappointing read - By: , 29 Jan 2001 
I found this book to be very disappointing. The stories he brings up are sometines so bizarre that its hard to take them seriously. He has obviously been told that he's a great manager one to many times & the tag Old Big Ed is pretty much on the line. He talks about hiself as if he had saved footballl from dying out. Rubbish
