Peter Taylor (footballer, born 1928)

[3] He met his future wife, Lily Thorpe, at the age of 14, who persuaded him to play for her father's team, local non-League side Christchurch.

[5] He made his first-team debut for the club as an amateur in a wartime fixture against local rivals Notts County at Meadow Lane in 1944, at the age of 16.

[6] He signed with Coventry City on his 17th birthday, though was initially only a part-time player as his father insisted that he also complete an apprenticeship in bricklaying.

[7] Under the stewardship of Harry Storer, Coventry finished seventh in the Second Division in 1950–51, and Taylor made his debut in the Football League on the final day of the season, breaking Alf Wood's run of 261 consecutive first-team appearances.

Taylor decided to leave the club after losing his first-team place to future Coventry City Hall of Famer and England international Reg Matthews.

[13] Clough went on to become the club's star striker with 197 goals in 213 league games, and though Taylor would also break into the first-team after replacing Rolando Ugolini, he later said he was only ever an "average goalkeeper".

Harold Shepherdson, the England trainer, and coaches like Micky Fenton and Jimmy Gordon were nice men running a pleasant club that treated players decently while getting nowhere.In June 1961, Port Vale manager Norman Low paid Middlesbrough £750 for Taylor's services.

[15] In October 1962, Taylor was offered the manager's job at Burton Albion after impressing chairman Trevor Grantham with his knowledge and theories on the game.

[19] In 1965, he walked out on a newly signed £34-a-week three-year contract at Burton to become Clough's assistant manager at Hartlepools United on wages of £24 a week.

Taylor stated that the squad were all free transfer signings and some of the players struggled with "drink, debt or abandoned wives".

[27] On 15 November 1966, the then chairman, Ernest Ord, who was known for playing mind games with managers, sacked Taylor saying he couldn't afford to pay him anymore.

Clough had initially wanted to quit the club numerous times due to interference from Ord, but Taylor insisted that they stay as they could not walk out on their first job in management.

[29] After Ord resigned as chairman, Clough wanted to remain at Hartlepools, but Taylor persuaded him to take the offer to manage Derby.

[33] After the 1967–68 season had finished with the club fifth from bottom in the Second Division, Clough and Taylor had released 16 players and numerous more staff members, including "a tea lady who laughed after a bad defeat".

[34] Derby were promoted to the First Division in 1968–69, prompting chairman Sydney Bradley to state that "Brian and Peter built an ocean liner out of a shipwreck".

[35] Derby finished fourth in 1969–70, and then strengthened again from a player Taylor had scouted, signing midfielder Archie Gemmill from Preston North End for £64,000.

[36] Most signings involved scouting from Taylor, with the only two transfers he had played no part in being Clough's former Sunderland teammates Colin Todd and John O'Hare.

[41] On 15 October 1973, both he and Clough resigned, partially after a dispute with the Derby board over Taylor's crucial but largely undefined role.

[43] The pair had come close to leaving Derby earlier, turning down offers to manage Coventry City and the Greece national team.

[44] Fans protested against the board following their resignation, and the players also demanded they be reinstated, but chairman Sam Longson's relationship with Clough and Taylor was irreparable.

[47] Brighton finished 19th in the final table in the 1973–74 season, narrowly avoiding relegation to the Fourth Division, and the pair began to rebuild the team by signing Peter Grummitt, Andy Rollings, Ian Mellor, Steve Govier, and Ken Goodeve; Taylor felt that Clough never settled at Brighton however, and spent too much time away on media commitments.

[63] In their first season back in the top division, Forest won the Championship by a seven-point margin ahead of runners-up Liverpool, conceding just 24 goals in 42 league games.

[60] They won the League Cup with a 1–0 win over Liverpool in the final replay, despite Shilton, David Needham and Archie Gemmill all being ineligible to play as they were cup-tied.

[64] In February 1979, Taylor authorised the English game's first £1 million transfer when Forest purchased Trevor Francis from Birmingham City.

[74] Taylor retired in May 1982 after Forest finished 12th in the league, with recent signings Justin Fashanu and Raimondo Ponte proving to be unsuccessful.

[78] At the time, Derby were going through serious financial problems and were at the bottom of the table, but he steered them to a mid-table position by the end of the season with a 15-match unbeaten run.

"[82] The two worked as a pair by complementing each other's strengths, as Clough had a forceful personality and was adept at motivating players, whilst Taylor was more reserved.

While at Derby in 1971, Taylor was riled when he learned that Clough had failed to disclose to him that he had received a pay rise of £5,000 from chairman Sam Longson.

[93] On 4 October 1990, Peter Taylor died suddenly of pulmonary fibrosis while on holiday in Costa De Los Pinos, Mallorca, at the age of 62.

Clough, along with the rest of his family, attended the funeral 11 days later at St Peter's Church, Widmerpool as did around 250 people, including Colin Todd, David Nish, Roy McFarland, Larry Lloyd, Alan Durban, Jimmy Gordon, Nigel Clough, Arthur Cox, Frank Clark, David Pleat, Jimmy Sirrel, Kevin Hector, Peter Withe and Archie Gemmill.
