{"product_id":"9781845138295","title":"Old Big 'Ead: The Wit and Wisdom of Brian Clough","description":"He’s British football’s philosopher manqué. The most successful England manager we never had and a genuine footballing legend. To many, an outspoken working class hero. To others – mainly his targets – he was a bolshy northern gobshite. Never less than opinionated, often controversial and always eloquent, here we present Brian Clough, in his very own words…  On himself: ‘I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.’  On Roy Keane: ‘I only ever hit Roy once. He got up, so I couldn’t have hit him very hard.’  On the FA: ‘I’m sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job I’d want to run the show. They were shrewd, because that’s exactly what I would have done.’  On being nominated for a knighthood: ‘I thought it was my next door neighbour, because she thought if I got something like that, I’d have to move.’  On handling players: ‘We talk about it for twenty minutes and then we decide I was right.’  On drink: ‘Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks.’","brand":"Aurum Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136010141936,"sku":"9781845138295","price":8.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845138295_p0.jpg?v=1763745433","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845138295","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
