There have been two bestselling autobiographies; two biographies from back in the seventies and eighties, a famous novel, an award-winning memoir, and a handful of small-press part-works on Clough, but still there remains to be written the doorstop critical biography -- the final word that objectively seeks to place Clough in the great pantheon of twentieth-century football legends. Jonathan Wilson seeks to get behind the over-used tv clips and soundbites, and present the detailed life and times of the greatest manager England never had. Clough was a man fiercely driven to succeed -- he often claimed his league championship and European medals were his academic qualifications -- and Nobody Ever Says Thank You is a portrait of a man who was a deep thinker about the game, and who overachieved at considerable cost. This final, authoritative telling, is both an affectionate and respectful account, but also an unvarnished one.
