You won't believe what you're reading at times, but as the chorus reaches it's crescendo you'll feel every pang of how the author felt. 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.

Even now, I struggle with what happened. There are days when it hits me more. Days when I just sit there and wonder who I am. Am I the person I have grown into, who I think is predominantly good, or is that a mask? Underneath it all, am I still that scruffy little kid?" But Craig Bromfield seems a decent person – a gentle, empathic man who made a terrible mistake and has paid for it since. Four years ago, he gave up his thriving business and returned to England to finish the book he started in 2005. He completed it with the help of sports journalist Tim Rich. While he talks to Nigel now, there was no reunion with his father. He came close once. At Burton Albion during Nigel's first spell there, but stopped himself. "It was totally my fault. I just bottled it at the last minute because I did not know what to say."Bromfield’s depiction of Clough rubber stamped that persona shown to the media but he also showed a softer side. The more charitable fatherly side. I’ll admit I was disappointed as Bromfield’s loyalties when tested landed with his friends rather than with the man who changed his life. I hope I can do that, the book has already benefitted 2 childrens charities and a homeless shelter. I started it 16 years ago, but could never finish it,” Craig says. “The final chapter was too difficult.” Gradually, as the story unfolds, I begin to realise why. We are all ushered into the dressing rooms. Somebody says there has been a death. Later, we are told five people have been killed and that the club gymnasium is being turned into a morgue. Brian was at the front of the Forest bus, slumped in his seat. The deaths had left him distraught If I come out of it badly I deserve that as well. The book isn't a tribute to me. It's a tribute to Brian, Mrs Clough and their kids.

He saw Clough twice after leaving. The first time, a few months later, Clough had just rewritten his will and Craig had got a mention. “He told me, ‘I said under no circumstances whatsoever is that thieving little shit to receive a penny.’” The last time he saw him, in late 1994, Clough said he, Simon and Nigel had considered getting the police involved. In the book, Craig quotes Clough as saying: “The three of us decided that we’d brought you down to give you a better life, and if the police had been involved, that would have been your life over. So we cut you loose.” Clough told him they still loved him. “Be good, and don’t be a stranger” were Clough’s last words to him. Craig never saw him again. While Aaron joined the army at 16, Craig moved in on a more permanent basis. He was close to Nigel and would go on to work for the eldest brother Simon. He speaks fondly of Clough's wife Barbara - always Mrs Clough to Craig even now.Soon enough, he was sitting in the dugout with Clough as Forest won two more League Cups. “Imagine what it’s like for someone to come from where I came from and suddenly be in the dressing room at Wembley on Cup final day, and to be surrounded by heroes,” Craig says. “I had goosebumps. The players made me feel like I was part of the team. I felt like a little king.” How do you follow life with Brian Clough? I thought I wanted success, money, a great house, and none of it’s filled the hole To do that I had to be honest about the life I had before I met them. If I then went on to hide what I did the whole book would be a lie. This isn't about what people think of me. It'a about what people think of them. Whatever consequences or criticism I face, I deserve. It is a study in society. The haves and have nots. It's a story of love and what it means to have it or not have it as a child. It's a story of belonging, escape, believing in magic and miracles and fate and whether you can ever truly escape where you are created.
