Craig Bromfield was just 13 years old when Brian Clough, on a whim, took him and his older brother Aaron in.

They came from Southwick, a depressed area of Sunderland, where they lived with their abusive stepfather, and from where they longed to escape. After initially meeting Clough while out begging for money, Clough later invited the brothers to stay at his house. From there a relationship formed which would see Craig living with the Cloughs for nine years, where he was a first-hand witness to the many aspects of Clough’s character – his gruffness, his humour, his big-heartedness.

This is a beautiful, inspirational story, which has never before been told, about Clough’s gentleness and capacity for generosity. Discover a very different side to this iconic man, one away from the cameras and the football, which shows him for the person he really was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, surprising, moving, tragic, uplifting - an extraordinary story and addictive read

Be Good, Love Brian, tells a fabulous true story about one of the legends of our game, someone we thought we knew everything about, but now know we didn't. This is an amazing, meticulously entertaining insight into what Brian Clough was really like, from the tiny details to the big FA cup finals. It also gives a fascinating, impressively disarming insight into Craig himself, how he grew up, and how he came to be part of Brian Clough's family.
All fans of a certain age remember the big cup finals, but didn't actually realise that the author Craig, a young kid plucked from the streets of the North East, was there on the team coach with Stuart Pearce, Des Walker and team, in the dressing rooms when a large part of Nottingham Forest's success was happening, through all the highs and lows. A remarkable, touching, frank, sometimes brutally honest insight into Brian Clough's life, which he happily and willingly shared with Craig the author and his brother. Clough's own loving, comfortable family contrasts starkly with Craig's own background, serving to give the story a fascinating backdrop, showing how different peoples lives can still be in the UK. This book could constitute a good read for any social academic in the UK, or anyone living a privileged life anywhere, to remind them how lucky they are, but also how lucky Craig was to be the cheeky young chap in the right place at the right time. First and foremost however, this is simply a great book and should find it's way to the hollywood screen or Netflix, whichever moves quickest.

By turns astonishing, heartbreaking and joyous. Even though I’m not a hardcore football fan I loved this story of kindness, generosity, resilience and most importantly, forgiveness. The many who love Brian Clough, will love him all more. Those who don't like him may find their negative asumptions turned around, Craig's story has done that before.

Quite simply, a brilliant 'can't be put down' book!

Having read many books about Brian Clough and his upbringing in my native north-east, there was little I didn't think I new about the career of the greatest manager never to have managed England. "Be Good, Love Brian" brings out the private and emotional side of Brian and his family and their respect and care of people who were less fortunate than themselves. The life of a little urchin of a boy brought up in the poverty stricken back streets of Sunderland contrasts sharply with the privileged life of the professional footballer and the Clough family and is superbly interwoven throughout the book.

The fact that Brian Clough and his family even took the time to speak with 'Rigor' in the first place is incredible but how the story follows is remarkable, stunning and astounding. Brian's socialist values and human qualities are there for all to witness...in enormity. What a man. What a legend. What a book. A must read feel-good story...
