  • Brian Clough and Peter Taylor
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Brian Clough and Peter Taylor Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Two names that will always be associated with Derby County. They met as young players – Brian a centre-forward and Peter a goalkeeper – at Middlesbrough FC, where they played together for six years. With a shared passion for the beautiful game they formed a friendship that would take them to the very top of English and European football. They first joined forces as managers at Hartlepool United but it was at Derby County where the dynamic duo, as they were known, had their first taste of the big time. Many of Derby's greatest names were signed in the Clough-Taylor era: Roy McFarland, John O'Hare, Alan Hinton, John McGovern, Willie Carlin, Dave Mackay, Colin Todd and Archie Gemmill to name a few. The two managers and their magnificent team took the Rams to the very top, winning the Division One Championship in 1972 and reaching the European Cup semi-finals. The pair controversially resigned early in the 1973-74 season and the partnership broke up briefly, only be reunited at Nottingham Forest in 1976 where they won many accolades, including two European Cups. But it was at Derby County where the partnership first flourished and Taylor’s daughter, Wendy Dickinson, in a biography of her father, said: “When dad and Brian arrived at the Baseball Ground in May, 1967 it was as if Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had ridden into town, all guns blazing. These two bright young upstarts were a breath of fresh air at a club that was stuck in the past.” She said her dad was “passionate” about managing Derby and added: “My mum remembers driving down to Derby for the first time and dad said, ‘I wonder what the supporters are like?’ He later said he thought they were the best in the country.” The success of that Derby County team affected everyone in the town and amazing results week after week sent people to work on a Monday morning with a spring in their step.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2016– 2017 SECTION 1 - MEMBERSHIP, OFFICERS AND SECRETARIAT 1.1 MEMBERSHIP A total of 429 Associations were registered for affiliation in Season 2016-2017. 1.2 CHAIRMAN Alan Johnston has continued to maintain the excellent traditions of the ESFA during his year as Chairman. He quickly established a good working relationship with our Chief Executive, Andrea Chilton, during her second year in post. He has travelled over 12,000 miles both here and abroad during this year representing ESFA at Council Meetings, ESFA/FA Meetings, Boys and Girls Internationals, National Finals, Festivals, Long Service Awards and other ESFA events throughout the country. Alan also attended the U18 Boys International training camp held at Bury FC before leading the delegation to Porto, which included the newly appointed U15 Girls International Management along with the U15 Girls International Squad, for warm weather training during February half-term, sponsored by InspireSport. The highlight of the Chairman’s season in office was undoubtedly when he represented ESFA at a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace where he was introduced to the Duke of Edinburgh. During his time as Chairman of ESFA Alan has also maintained an active role within Durham County Schools' FA attending regular executive committee meetings, acting as assistant manager to the U16 County Boys Team, and also assisting in the organisation of end of season County Cup Finals. Alan's work at both local and national level in school's football has been greatly appreciated by all during his year as Chairman of ESFA. 1.3 VICE-CHAIRMAN Throughout his year as Vice Chairman, Owen Aiston has shown a very positive attitude, approached challenges with an open mind and has applied his legendary attention to detail in planning and preparation when organising ESFA competitions or when representing the Association.
