Given the provenance of the makers (The Queen, Frost/Nixon), the auguries are good.

His teams played beautiful football, unlike the current Chelsea team. I remember vividly the hilarious scene when Clough was interviewed by a BBC reporter after Nottingham Forest lost. He said that his team were a "bunch on pansies" and then kissed the reporter fully on the lips. A truely unique and talented individual.
