The bittersweet story of Brian Clough & Peter Taylor’s first steps towards football immortality at struggling Hartlepools United
Alchemy reveals the bittersweet reality of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor’s first management job together. The lower-league Hartlepools United are penniless, with a meddling chairman, a ramshackle ground and want-away players. Yet the management pair tackle every challenge head-on, forging a winning blueprint that later transforms unfashionable Derby County and Nottingham Forest into League and European Cup champions.
Exploiting a wealth of archive newspapers, plus interviews with those present at the creation, Alchemy exposes the humble origins of Clough & Taylor’s meteoric rise to the top of the football tree.
