This sounds fascinating - as do so many books about Brian Clough - the author is a great guy from Nottingham, Marcus Alton, who had a close association with Brian and his family and was a big, big help in our appeal to raise a statue to Brian Clough in his hometown and local park, Albert Park.
Marcus came across these lost tapes when sorting through boxes and says there are some real gems that are featured in a new book which is raising money for charities.
This is how Marcus begins his press release...
‘Brian Clough The Lost Tapes’ includes newly-uncovered quotes from the Middlesbrough-born legend, who died in 2004 and has a statue in Albert Park.
Author Marcus Alton, who often visited Brian’s brother and sister in Middlesbrough, has uncovered a treasure trove of Cloughie stories and comments after finding a collection of old audio recordings during a ‘sort out’ of his memorabilia at home. The recordings include personal appearances, radio phone-ins and audio features. In one of them, Clough talks about his incredible goal-scoring exploits for Middlesbrough, with typical humour too:
“In my day, when the centre halves couldn’t play, I finished up with 250 goals in 270 games. Now that, by any standards, is a lot of goals. But the game was a lot slower then and it’s changed. Now I think I’d get 249.”
