Patrick Murphy has reported on cricket and football for BBC radio for more than 25 years, and is the author of numerous sports books. He observed Brian Clough's unique managerial style at close quarters over the years, and collaborated with him on monthly magazine articles in the last five years of Clough's life. One of the few journalists to enjoy a consistent working relationship with Clough - and who spent many hours with him during his retirement - Murphy drew on his own personal memories and those of Clough's players when writing "His Way:The Brian Clough Story".
