In the early 70s, British football's most controversial figure penned a weekly TVTimes column. Wide-ranging and remarkably prescient, 'Clough Sounds Off' covered a tumultuous time in his managerial career - when Old Big 'Ead went from Derby to the football wilderness via Brighton and Leeds. A unique insight into the mind of a remarkable manager.
