... will set all sort of jealous juices running. Hamilton won the gong two years ago with his book on Brian Clough, Provided You Don't Kiss Me. Now he's done it again. I can hear the gnashing of teeth around the best bars in town and beyond. I've got to say, I found Christian Ryan's book on Kim Hughes the best cricket read of the year, but what do I know? You can't take anything away...

... to miss (the voices were invariably right when he played for us anyway). And in celebrated cases Brian Clough was an alcoholic, Stan Collymore suffered from depression and Paul Gascoine has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Numerous other footballers have had serious problems with alcohol, Frank Bruno and Marcus Trescothwick have both had mental health issues, and the tragic...

... is a life of Harold Larwood by Duncan Hamilton, a previous winner with his tremendous memoir of Brian Clough. The year before Hill inaugurated its prize in 1988, apparently all of 78 cricket hardbacks were sent to Wisden by British publishers for review. If it were not for the Ashes, how many cricket books would have been published in 2009? About eight, I'd say, if you were lucky....

And Sheen admits he may have inherited his chameleon-like skills from...

... remarkable if Charlton hadn’t gone one better in 1960, drawing 6-6 with Middlesbrough (a certain Brian Clough scoring a hat-trick).The clubs were very regular opponents throughout the 1970s, but have not met in any competition since 1992/93 when the Addicks managed a home and away double. One season earlier they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Twerton Park in Bath in a hot-tempered affair,...

... novel of the Miner’s strike is simply too powerful, even up against the force of nature that is Brian Clough. The comparisons to Ellroy are justified, but as no one has had the balls to take on the underside of British life like Ellroy has about the American, it seems to me that we should applaud Peace all the more. I read it in Memphis, Tennessee, and GB84 brought back that time...

Creating GiantsYou could tell by watching today's game that the team is full of fear. Got me thinking about some of the things that people used to say about Brian Clough. The one thing that came to mind was that he made an average player feel like a world beater, he made every player feel like a giant. He filled his players with confidence. He didn't send his players out to stiffle the...

... he was nearly rejected because he did such a great interview that the panel feared his brilliance. Brian Clough would have made a great England manager, Matthew Le Tissier and Glenn Hoddle should have played for England more often, Geoff Boycott would have made a good chairman of England cricket selectors and James Nesbitt would have made a great Doctor Who. The list of might-have-beens...
