Boxing Day 1962: Sunderland's star striker Brian Clough suffers a
career-ending knee injury when he collides with an outrushing
goalkeeper. After a forlorn battle to regain fitness, he retires
early and sinks into deep despair. October 1965: Clough persuades
ex-'Boro teammate Peter Taylor to join him in managing perennial
North-East strugglers Hartlepools United, lying next to bottom of
the Fourth Division. A magical football odyssey has begun. Alchemy
reveals the bittersweet reality of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor's
first management job together. Lower-league Hartlepools United are
penniless, with a meddling chairman, a ramshackle ground and
want-away players. Yet the management pair tackle every challenge
head-on, forging a winning blueprint that later transforms
unfashionable Derby County and Nottingham Forest into League and
European Cup champions. Exploiting a wealth of archive newspapers,
plus interviews with those present at the creation, Alchemy exposes
the humble origins of Clough & Taylor's meteoric rise to the
top of the football tree.
