{"product_id":"bloody-southerners-clough-and-taylor-at-brighton","title":"Bloody Southerners – Clough and Taylor at Brighton","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1973, Brian Clough and Peter Taylor stunned the football world by taking charge of Brighton \u0026amp; Hove Albion, a sleepy backwater club that had rarely done anything in its 72-year existence to trouble the headline writers. The move made no sense. Clough was managerial gold dust, having led Derby County to the Football League title and the semi-finals of the European Cup. He and his sidekick Peter Taylor could have gone anywhere. Instead they chose Brighton, sixth bottom of the old Third Division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing never-before-told stories from the players who were there, \u003cem\u003eBloody Southerners\u003c\/em\u003e lifts the lid for the first time on what remains the strangest managerial appointment in post-war English football, one that would push Clough and Taylor's friendship and close working relationship to breaking point.
