'Simply one of the best books ever written about the world's game'
Dominic Sandbrook

Praise for Nobody Ever Says Thank You: The Biography of Brian Clough
'In separating the man from the myth, Jonathan Wilson's biography of Brian Clough is the first to do him justice' Barney Ronay The Observer

Critics Review

Razor-sharp tactical analysis and an intriguing angle of its own

Irish Independent

Gripping

Daily Mail

Wilson is a fine, nuanced writer

TLS

Compelling… gets to the heart of Bobby and Jackie

Late Tackle Magazine

This is a social history, yet surprisingly moving as it chronicles two remarkable lives

Guardian

A powerful chronicle of the transformation of English soccer and society through the prism of two very different characters

Irish Times

Tells a familar, yet extraordinary, tale exceptionally well, illuminated and refreshed by Wilson’s particular perspectives and insights

When Saturday Comes Magazine

A book that Jonathan Wilson was born to write… He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game… There is much poignancy in their stories

Irish Examiner

Explores the careers and personalities of Bobby and Jack Charlton, who we discover could not have been more different, and Wilson is meticulous in providing all manner of nuggets

The Times

Wilson skilfully interweaves the stories of brothers with polar opposite personalities who also happened to be two of the most iconic footballing figures in the last century, using their respective career trajectories to tell a broader story of what it said about English and (sometimes) Irish society of the time of their heydays
