He invented the shinguard, proposed the referee s whistle and introduced the 2-3-5 line-up that was universally adopted and still in use up to the 1950s. Tinsley Lindley was a famous Forester and Corinthian who championed the cause of the professional player. Forest won the FA Cup for the first time in 1898 and celebrated by opening the City Ground. Frank and Fred Forman became the first brothers from the same Football League club to be capped by England. So knowing these places quite intimately, and many of the others brought alive in the book, it was a delight to read how Rutherfurd wove his historic tales of family feuds and romances through the Forest and all these places. He did it so superbly in Sarum, that was an outstanding experience. I read it soon after we started coming down, finished it just before we moved here. It brought the whole area alive. Rutherfurd is excellent at his family lines set against huge historic events. Digs into a wide span from the sixties right up until 2017. Gives younger supporters, who missed out on the peak years under Clough, an opportunity to read about our own moments. Offers up a few smiles of recollection for those who have only ever known Forest as a plodding Championship side. Would heartily recommend you treat yourself to a copy or gift it to a relative or friend.” - ForzaGaribaldi.com In the late seventeenth century two penniless young Frenchmen, René Sel and Charles Duquet, arrive in New France. Bound to a feudal lord, a "seigneur," for three years in exchange for land, they become wood-cutters - barkskins. Rene suffers extraordinary hardship, oppressed by the forest he is charged with clearing. He is forced to marry a Mi'kmaw woman and their descendants live trapped between two inimical cultures. But Duquet, crafty and ruthless, runs away from the seigneur, becomes a fur trader, then sets up a timber business.

Winning the European Cup in 1979 and 1980 were the remarkable highlights of that era in the club's history.

This final story is about saving the forest and making sure it's kept for future generations as a place of beauty and historical importance. The New Forest Act of 1877 was to settle the shape of the New Forest for generations to come. The ancient trees were to be protected and not pull down.

Whenever I felt a bit off colour, I'd go and sit next to John Robertson - then I looked like Errol Flynn.” - Brian Clough From the breakdown of Clough's testy relationship with Peter Taylor, his co-manager and joint founder of Forest's success, through the unrepeatable double European cup triumph, and on into the wilderness of the mid-eighties through which Clough's alcoholism would play an evermore damaging role, Hamilton had access to every aspect of the club, and more remarkably, the man in charge. Here, he paints a vivid portrait of a huge personality, a man with a God-given gift for management and the watertight confidence and ego to stare down his detractors in the media, boardroom and beyond. A man who grabbed life, and most of his players, by the balls and wouldn't let go until he got his way. Originally published in 1980 and available now for the first time in forty years, With Clough, By Taylor is the definitive account of the partnership that revolutionised English football and the trade of the football manager.
