The trophies are well documented but we take an alternative look at the five most defining moments in Clough's management career.Clough was always likely to be a manager. He, with Peter Taylor, spent hours watching games before his career had ended, judging players and analysing tactics. But when a serious cruciate ligament injury ended Clough's prolific playing career early at the age of 27, it gave him the chance to dip his toes in the unforgiving world of management.

When he took his first management job at Hartlepool aged 30, Clough was the youngest manager in the football league. It gave him a reputation - and an arrogance - that set the tone for his long management career.You may not have even heard of the competition and when Nottingham Forest beat Leyton Orient 5-1 on aggregate to win the 1977 Anglo-Scottish Cup, it meant little to anyone outside of Nottingham.

But to Brian Clough, who was beginning to build his team of champions, it was a huge victory that gave his side a winning mentality. Within twelve months they were champions of England, followed of course by two consecutive European Cup victories.Many of Clough's players at Forest had not experienced winning a trophy before the Anglo-Scottish Cup, but three years later after Forest had won their second European Cup, the changing room had the same victorious atmosphere - and the same beaming smiles. Seven of the starting line up for the 1980 European Cup Final had been involved in the Leyton Orient ties Briansclub login

When the earthquake reached Tokyo on the afternoon of March 11, Brian Salsberg was busily transmitting the final manuscript of Reimagining to an overseas printer. That wouldn't be the last time the disaster and Salsberg's book would cross paths. As news of trouble at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima began to develop, and the crisis deepened, Salsberg and his team agreed on a comprehensive revision and the results paid off. A book born in an hour of crisis was suddenly the book that many readers sought for answers.

Salsberg, not unlike the collection of essays he edited a year ago, has a natural gift for bringing Japan into sharp focus. A graduate of Cornell and Harvard Law School, Salsberg switched gears from corporate law practice to management consulting, and is the lead for McKinsey's Consumer & Shopper Insights center. And in his last five years, he has also accumulated insights into Japan, some of which he shared with AsianTalks.
