Two Teesside lads. Two brilliant careers. One bitter rivalry. Don Revie and Brian Clough rose from the same streets to become giants of English football, winning England caps and major honours as players, and transforming unfashionable clubs into champions at home and in Europe. Only at Leeds United, in 1974, did their careers collide, when Clough replaced Revie for an infamous 44-day reign. Revie got the England job – Clough’s great obsession – yet left the role with his reputation irreparably tarnished. Meanwhile, Clough led Nottingham Forest back to the top flight and to consecutive European Cups. Boro Boys uncovers the truth behind their reputations, revealing how two similar paths produced such contrasting legacies. It also offers a social history of a unique era in English football.
