Brian Clough was a legendary football manager, a distinguished figure in English football for his genius, his achievements and his way to always speak his mind. He led Derby County to a championship title (1972) but most remarkably he led Nottingham Forest to an outstanding performance through several years. Alongside with assistant manager Peter Taylor, Clough transformed a mid-table Second Division team to an unbeatable champion. Under his management, Forest was promoted to First Division (1977), then won its first ever (and unique till now) championship the very next year (1978) and completed an outstanding triumph by thriving in Europe, winning back-to-back European Cups in the two following seasons (1979 and 1980). It is an achievement unprecedented in European football history, and unlikely to be repeated by any team in the visible future. Brian Howard Clough was honoured in several ways by both Derby and Nottingham. His bronze statue is nowadays a landmark of the city of Nottingham, and can be seen in Nottingham's Speakers' Corner, just a few yards away of the Old Market Square, the city's centre.
