Clough

Pete Postlethwaite OBE narrates a documentary looking at the life and legacy of Brian Clough which speaks to those who knew him best.

The programme features exclusive interviews with his wife Barbara and son Nigel, who is now following in his father's footsteps as manager of Derby County, along with friends and former colleagues including Geoffrey Boycott OBE, Martin O’Neill, Roy McFarland, John McGovern, Peter Lorimer, Johnny Giles and Gordon McQueen.

This new documentary follows Clough’s career from Derby to Leeds and Nottingham Forest and looks at the interest that still exists in one of the most charismatic football managers of all time.

With unprecedented access to the ITV archive, this programme reignites the Clough and Brian Moore Big Match spark, as football’s first superstar manager is brought back to the screen once again. Our exclusive footage includes the Calendar special where Clough faced his arch nemesis Don Revie on the night the axe fell at Leeds and the programme’s host, Austin Mitchell, now a Labour MP, relives this incredible television moment in time.

Clough reveals the true story of the most charismatic manager the game has ever known.
