Portrayals
In 2009, a film called The Damned United was released and centred on Brian Clough's ill fated 44-day reign as Leeds United manager in 1974, though there were scenes in the film dated from his appointment as Derby County manager in 1967. Nigel Clough, aged between two and eight years old, appeared in several scenes played by Oliver Stokes.
Irish band The Sultans of Ping FC wrote a song about Clough, which was given away free as a one track flexi-disk with a Nottingham Forest fanzine. Entitled "Give Him a Ball and a Yard of Grass'", the lyric is from a quote by his father Brian about former Forest and Scotland winger John Robertson.

Famous quotes containing the word portrayals:
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
