Sinossi
Nel 1974 l'eccentrico Brian Clough, ex calciatore noto per i suoi tanti successi, accetta di sostituire il leggendario Don Revie e allenare una delle più difficili squadre del campionato di calcio inglese: il Leeds United. Giocatori altezzosi, competitivi, in cima alla classifica, ma aggressivi e scorretti. Disposti a tutto pur di vincere. Clough sa che non sarà semplice far funzionare le cose, eppure non rifiuta l'incarico: spinto da un orgoglio infinito accetta, nella convinzione di poter trasformare il Leeds in una squadra che vince senza imbrogliare. Inizia così la cronaca avvincente e disperata dei quarantaquattro giorni del più carismatico e controverso allenatore del Leeds United. Brian Clough è un uomo ambizioso, incontenibile e, nonostante gli enormi difetti, sostenuto da un fortissimo senso morale. La sua è una lotta quotidiana contro una squadra che odia (peraltro ricambiato), contro fantasmi che non smettono di perseguitarlo nelle notti insonni fra alcol e sigarette.

The first game we went to together was an evening kick off. What I remember is the otherworldly green of the grass under the floodligh Leggi tutto
Τον Ιανουάριο του 2014 διάβασα το "Χίλια Εννιακόσια Εβδομήντα Τέσσερα" και έμεινα κάγκελο από την δύναμη και την μαυρίλα της ιστορίας. Μιλάμε για ένα αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα που θα ζήλευε ακόμα και ο Τζέιμς Ελρόι! Τώρα εδώ έχουμε να κάνουμε με κάτι εντελώς διαφορετικό, μιας και το βιβλίο δεν είναι ασ Leggi tutto
Having once briefly worked with Cloughie in the late 1970s when I was promoting a series of football talk-ins and he guested ('Shave your beard off, young man' were his first words to me) and having enjoyed the uncannily accurate characterisation of this controversial figure on film by Michael Sheen Leggi tutto
A biographical account of Brian Coughs tenure at Leeds United, told from he’s point of view it’s an insightful look at that ill fated spell. Of course there’s some liberties taken with the story, but I felt it helped gives an idea as to why he’s spell at Leeds didn’t work out. The story includes flash Leggi tutto

Forget the movie, this came first. It's the best damn book looking inside the mind of a single human being I've ever read. An obsessive man, an anxious man, worrying and fretting about the same things over and over again as Peace writes a human mind as non-linear set of concentric circles closing in Leggi tutto
