Clough given two months to live prior to liver transplant

FORMER Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough had just two months to live before he underwent a successful liver transplant, his surgeon said yesterday.

The transplant team also found cancer in his diseased liver when they performed the operation last week at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital.

But consultant Derek Manas told a news conference the growth had been removed, and the man affectionately known throughout football as 'Cloughie' was making a good recovery.
