"The story just sucks you in - it's Cloughie and he's a completely unique character."

Author Chris Hull tells the story of Brian Clough's first stint in football management, at rock bottom Hartlepools.

From his fund-raising exploits, to training on the beach, you'll hear how Cloughie tackled a range of new challenges and created a recipe for success - or 'Alchemy' as Chris describes it.

This is a taster of Marcus Alton's forthcoming full interview with Chris, the author of 'Alchemy' - the story of Clough and Taylor's time at Hartlepools (published by The History Press).
