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.

Despite being born and raised in London, CHRISTOPHER HULL has been following Hartlepool United since 1978. He is the author of Our Man Down in Havana (Pegasus, 2019), which William Boyd described as 'A revelation and a delight.'
