The Legends of Nottingham Forest
The rise and fall of Nottingham Forest has been one of football's sadder sights. Twice Champions of Europe, as well as a major force in our domestic game, the City Ground club began 2006 in the third tier of the English League. Supporters who had enjoyed the triumphs of the previous 25 years now had to realign their ambitions. Those big days out at Wembley, basking in the glow of a cup success, were over and the regular challenge for silverware, both at home and abroad, had evaporated - almost as quickly as it had appeared. Like so many other clubs, before and since, Forest had joined the also-rans, desperate for the good times to return. During the period known simply as 'The Clough Era', the Reds became a household name, putting the city of Nottingham on the map, both in a football sense and in business and economic terms. "The Legends of Nottingham Forest" is dedicated to all those responsible, as well as honouring former players and management from other periods in Forest's rich history. Members of the two FA Cup-winning sides are featured, as well as many of the leading goalscorers, record appearance holders and international stars. Alongside the banks of the Trent many a good footballing story has been created and this book helps recall some of those golden moments, stretching back to the club's foundation in 1865 and right through to modern times. With the help of some of the club's most loyal supporters, the author pays tribute to 100 leading lights who can justifiably be acclaimed as 'the legends of Nottingham Forest'.

Deep into the Forest
The Sunday Times, February 20, 2005
"Taylor’s writing is witty and vibrant, a choice mix of the professional and the fan of 25 years"
FourFourTwo magazine, April 2005
"Taylor's book at least serves as a reminder that once Nottingham Forest were, indeed, magic."

His Way: The Brian Clough Story
Brian Clough is arguably the finest man-manager to ever have plied his trade in top-flight football in the UK. His name is synonymous with two things, Nottingham Forest and Derby County football clubs. He took these lower, second division (as was) East Midlands clubs from obscurity and turned them into national and European champions. With Nottingham Forest, Clough would become world famous for achieving unprecedented success in the 1970s and 1980s with their rise to the top flight, breaking the then monopoly of Liverpool, and winning back to back European Cups. He produced a long line of great players such as John McGovern, Martin O'Neil, Kenny Burns, John Robertson, Des Walker and Roy Kean. Apart from the football persona, he was a man who brooked no argument with anyone, no matter if they were club directors, the FA Chairman, or even the Prime Minister. Famous for his outspoken manner, ideals and beliefs, Brian Clough was a one off, and with his death football has lost a true sporting icon. Following on from his acclaimed biography of 1993, award winning sport's writer, Patrick Murphy now takes time to update the original book, and also add a poignant tribute to a close personal friend.
