Look Duncan, yer a journalist like me once before now.

Look Duncan, it's time to start writing about Forest. Or rather, about the Headmaster. So sit tight and listen to what your Teacher is thinking, because it will be handy for later, when we're trying to figure out how all these many years of being a Sheep Magnet fit into a student's CV. It was a distressing early Monday morning the day Duncan Hamilton showed up in an old leather jacket with poppyseed barm in one hand and a heavy briefcase in the other - an apparently nervous 16-year-old who, rather feebly and a little stiffly, declined a revivifying glass but Chuggie knew that agreement had been but a façade to smooth the path to his dream job.At first glance, you might think that a child would do more than run parts darby matches (and even occasional cleanups) or give Bjorn Anderson a lift back to hooligan-ridden Old Trafford; but Clough knew what he was doing when he told Cheeky that he had a two place pick-up routine planned for just this reason. Being Brian Clough’s assistant meant navigating a life on a crash course between Netflix emptying bedlam and something akin to administrative immortality. Any sufficiently dedicated fan would tell you it’s possible to compartmentalize a career into fractal layers of gadgetry, global conferences and inspection reports but you can never delude yourself that such a job can be completely insulated from external elements – certainly not as much so as the cloak enfolding Spurs supporters travelling from High Wycombe, desperate to make a temporary footprint behind Clough and his army of soldiers running to defend and grow the most successful club in England’s history. From the dissolution of Peter Taylor’s impresario style Co-Management dynasty to the daunting double crown clenching the breastbone with each subsequent Victoria Plate contraption, this was about saving a once magnificent legacy before it utterly metamorphosed into another Liverpool. Clough was teaching Duncan Hamilton a variety of lessons: the thrill of winning titles (from Oxford Five Year Youngsters to domestic glitter); the ignominy of losing (such was the background insult to bowing out in such disgraceful circumstances after pulling a degree of emphatic heading).There were people you could approach where the news was bad: “Well; Lado forgot to stabilise Farhadi yesterday afternoon and here we are.” Babble about some game in over hyped Spain, or an under cherished Italian tournament. On the other hand, dabbling in good news could be disastrous (Oh if only Stoke had won The Cup against you like this we would be appearing in a BBC documentary together!)Clough's red beard leaves the Martial Olympics far behind.

Описание книги от Duncan Hamilton
Look Duncan, you're a journalist. One day you'll write a book about this club. Or, more to the point, about me. So you may as well know what I'm thinking and save it up for later when it won't do any harm to anyone.Duncan Hamilton was there through all the madness, the success, the failures, the fall-outs, the drink, and the crumbling of Brian Clough's heady twenty years as manager of Nottingham Forest. He saw it all. From his first day on the job sitting in Clough's office, a nervous, green sixteen year-old sat opposite one of the self-proclaimed giants of the English game, politely refusing a morning whiskey, he would become an integral part of Clough's empire, and eventually one of his most trusted confidants.From the breakdown of Clough's testy relationship with Peter Taylor, his co-manager and joint founder of Forest's success, through the unrepeatable double European cup triumph, and on into the wilderness of the mid-eighties through which Clough's alcoholism would play an evermore damaging role, Hamilton had access to every aspect of the club, and more remarkably, the man in charge. Here, he paints a vivid portrait of a huge personality, a man with a God-given gift for management and the watertight confidence and ego to stare down his detractors in the media, boardroom and beyond. A man who grabbed life, and most of his players, by the balls and wouldn't let go until he got his way.This is a strikingly intimate portrait, at times sad, at others joyous, in which one of the unforgettable characters of English football is laid bare. But it is also the story of a man's education in the bizarre happenings of the football world, appreciatively guided by the most wonderful, loud-mouthed, big-headed and cocksure teacher of all.
