On his first birthday as a football manager in March 1966, #BrianClough took Hartlepools Utd to fellow Fourth Division strugglers Port Vale. “It was spirit and spirit alone that brought us a point. The players grafted and ran, and spared nothing for me.” #dcfc #nffc #pvfc

#OTD 1963. After retiring early, Brian Clough began his first management job alongside Peter Taylor at lowly Hartlepools United 2½ years later. A meteoric rise up the Football League pyramid brought them League Championship and European Cup glory. #Boro #SAFC #DCFC #NFFC #alchemy

Excited for my first published article in an academic journal. For those interested in Clough, the history of Hartlepool United or lower league football, Hull's book is an excellent read. Alchemy: Brian Clough and Peter Taylor at Hartlepools United tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

People try to tell you what to think every day. Here are what some individuals and organisations told you about Liz Truss and her government’s “mini-budget” - perhaps worth remembering next time they try to tell you something… 1. The Daily Mail
